International Women's Day 2026
Join us on March 8, 2025, for International Women’s Day in Canada, under the theme: Give To Gain.
This year’s theme Give To Gain emphasizes the power of reciprocity and support. When people, organizations, and communities give generously, opportunities and support for women increase. Giving is not a subtraction, it's intentional multiplication. When women thrive, we all rise.
UPEI is fortunate to have an abundance of inspiring women who lead by example as teachers, researchers, volunteers, and community champions.
