This program was created in collaboration with the OU Gender and Equality Center to celebrate women's achievements, reduce bias and work to create a more equitable world.
Choose to Challenge is the theme of International Women's Day 2021. We ask you to Choose to Challenge with us, by joining in on the International Women's Day (IWD) summit.
We will engage with women innovating in health care and have a panel of female students discussing leadership. We will come together and meet up with interest groups on specific topics and finally we will close out the day in a conversation with Julie Castro Abrams of How Women Lead. She will discuss the national and global impact of How Women Lead, and share with us ways in which she has worked to create lasting change and give her insights on what it looks like when we empower women.

IWD 2021 campaign theme: #ChooseToChallenge
A challenged world is an alert world. Individually, we're all responsible for our own thoughts and actions - all day, every day.
We can all choose to challenge and call out gender bias and inequality. We can all choose to seek out and celebrate women's achievements. Collectively, we can all help create an inclusive world.
From challenge comes change, so let's all choose to challenge.
