To honor the sacrifices and changes women have set forth in history, the Center for Women and Gender Equity (WaGE) at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga celebrates Women’s History Month throughout March.
UTC to celebrate Women’s History Month
March is Women’s History Month, and the UTC Center for Women and Gender Equity will honor and celebrate women’s contributions to history. “This is just a great time to talk and highlight the historical context of what does it mean to be where we are today as women and how did we get here?” said Lauren Ouwerkerk, associate director of WaGE and the Prism Center.

She also served in a statewide office as lobbying director of the Tennessee Intercollegiate State Legislature.
