The Medgar Evers College (MEC) Women’s History Committee, aka the MEC Women’s HerStory Month Committee (WHMC) is comprised of faculty, students and staff from the institution. The Committee develops initiatives that celebrate the achievements of women throughout the month of March, and all those who continue to struggle for women’s rights to equality.
In honor of Women’s History Month, the MEC WHMC, proudly presents Highlighting HerStory: 50 Years and Beyond. Join us, as we offer the campus community a breadth of events that capture the historical, present-day, and forthcoming achievements of women.
