Happy National Women’s Month

𝐇𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐲 𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐖𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧’𝐬 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡
 
The UPLB University Library joins the celebration of the 2025 National Women’s Month Celebration (NWMC) with the sub-theme “Babae sa Lahat ng Sektor, Aangat ang Bukas sa Bagong Pilipinas”. A series of activities will take place from 01 to 31 March 2025 aimed at fostering a society where all women have equal rights, power, and opportunities.
 
This year’s NWMC will also feature the inspiring journeys of empowered women from OVCAA, including Dr. Charina Gracia B. Banaay, Dr. April Hope T. Castro, Prof. Margarita Carmen S. Paterno, and Dr. Marion Lux Y. Castro, in “HERstory,” during the Kick-off Program. Their dedication and leadership in academe continue to pave the way for more inclusive and equitable opportunities for all.
Stay tuned for the scheduled activities for the NWMC:
