UCF Faculty Excellence has chosen 31 women to honor during Women’s History Month, which begins today.
The national observance was started in 1981 to recognize women who have shown a commitment to humanity and our planet.
At UCF, these women have helped shape the university from its beginnings until today.
“It’s an honor to work among such amazing and accomplished women faculty,” says Jana L. Jasinski, vice provost for Faculty Excellence. “For this month, let’s remember and celebrate how this group of women are making a difference on this campus and in the community.”
