International Women's Day

Today is International Women's Day. This year's theme is Invest in women: Accelerate progress. As we take time today to celebrate women and their achievements, read about just a few of the ways women at Dal are showing what's possible through progress.

  • Three members of Dalhousie's Women in Research Caucus share their experiences rising to leadership roles, the importance of mentorship from other women, and how academia benefits from greater female representation.

  • Jody Couch, Dal's chief information officer and assistant vice-president of Information Technology Services, was encouraged by others when first starting out in tech. Now, she strives to pay it back.

  • Cynthia Pilichos, co-lead on the Dalhousie Alumni Association, introduces us to the roots of the Women's Division — the oldest alumni association at Dal — and the evolution of fundraising from the 1980s to now. 

  • This Saturday, Dal faculty members are among a group of accomplished writers coming together for a free, off-campus reading event in honour of International Women's Day.
