PROCLAMATION

In Recognition of Women's History Month
March 2011

During the month of March, our state and nation celebrates Women’s History Month. Montclair State University joins in this celebration by acknowledging the numerous achievements that women have made in our society.

Women from all walks of life were instrumental in building our nation and have a very rich and inspiring history in our country. They were at the forefront of social movements for women's suffrage and civil rights, and they have played an extraordinary role in our social, political, cultural, economic, and intellectual development. Women serve as leaders in American business, government, medicine, education, and many other professions.

At Montclair State University, women have served our campus community with extraordinary leadership, vision, and intellectual achievements. Throughout Montclair State’s history, its women graduates have used their education to make important contributions to society. During Women’s History Month, we celebrate the many ways women have strengthened and enriched our University, state and nation, and we reaffirm our commitment to provide women with equal educational and employment opportunities. The theme for this year’s programming is "Engendering Justice."

NOW, THEREFORE, I, SUSAN A. COLE, President of Montclair State University, hereby proclaim the month of March 2011 as Women's History Month at Montclair State University, and I encourage the entire campus community to join in this celebration.
