We are halfway through Women’s History Month. If you haven’t taken time to acknowledge the remarkable contributions of women throughout history, I encourage you to pause and do it now. March is a dedicated time to honor the trailblazers who have advanced society and changed the world. Understanding our shared history is key to creating a brighter future for everyone.

Women’s History Month: How Abigail Adams Influenced My Path Check out our CEO Abby Lindenberg's new column! 🗞 ✍ #WomenHistoryMonth is important to me for a couple reasons. One, I graduated from Rutgers University as a history major. Learning about the past and how it impacts our present has always been fascinating to me. Two, I am a woman, and three, as a woman who studied history, I have always noticed that our history is dominated by stories of men, written by men. If we want an inclusive present, we must study and expose all genders written by all genders. 👉 READ MORE: https://lnkd.in/ehttFn5s

A critical analysis of the state of diversity, equity, and inclusion more commonly known as DEI in our nation reveals evident threats from ignorance imposed by institutions and people in positions of power. In the course, PR3211, I learned the capability each student has to contribute to the efforts being made to advocate for the inclusion of DEI in our everyday lives. As a student at such a populated university, it’s imperative to learn the possibility of every interaction I have. To promote DEI we must be mindful of inclusivity, acceptance, and equality when making decisions, having conversations, or even posting online. Being a minority myself, I’ve experienced the neglect inclusivity often receives. Too many institutions have chosen to be ignorant of this field, however, through this course I’ve become more aware of corporations that are making conscious and proactive choices. One such example, the LAGRANT Foundation is included in Diverse Voices: Profiles in Leadership Edited by Shelley and Barry Spector. The LAGRANT Foundation is a nonprofit that seeks to include underrepresented communities in work fields relevant to public relations, marketing, and advertising. Found in a PRWeek article titled “PRWeek Power List 2023-39. Kim Hunter, the LAGRANT Foundation," Kim Hunter, founder of the LAGRANT Foundation, is recognized for his astounding efforts in DEI. Again, having individuals in positions of influence advocating for equality is what differentiates foundations such as LAGRANT. As a Hispanic public relations student, it’s inspiring to see organizations in my field of study consciously making efforts to engage with minority professionals.  Thank you, Professor Robyn Hankerson-Printemps, for the exceptional delivery of this course and your continuous effort to advocate for DEI efforts. #DiverseVoices UF Public Relations Department Link to PRWeek Article: https://lnkd.in/eWc9GaDH

What are you doing to celebrate Women’s History Month? It starts Friday! Women are integral to the foundation and history of our educational system and we honor your contributions. Did you know? @edsolutionsgroup is a woman owned business and was founded by an educator? Our Founder and CEO has served as a teacher, principal, curriculum coordinator and is a licensed superintendent. Did you know? Women’s History Month had its origins as a national celebration in 1981 when Congress passed Pub. L. 97-28 which authorized and requested the President to proclaim the week beginning March 7, 1982 as “Women’s History Week.” Throughout the next five years, Congress continued to pass joint resolutions designating a week in March as “Women’s History Week.” In 1987 after being petitioned by the National Women’s History Project, Congress passed Pub. L. 100-9 which designated the month of March 1987 as “Women’s History Month.” Between 1988 and 1994, Congress passed additional resolutions requesting and authorizing the President to proclaim March of each year as Women’s History Month. Since 1995, presidents have issued a series of annual proclamations designating the month of March as “Women’s History Month.” These proclamations celebrate the contributions women have made to the United States and recognize the specific achievements women have made over the course of American history in a variety of fields. We will be featuring one impactful woman in the field of education each week of March. Who would you choose?
