Women's History Month  2011 at Polk State College

In 1987, Congress designated March as Women's History Month, so it's time to celebrate the many contributions of women to both history and society. Since 2005, Polk State College has celebrated the month with a variety of speakers, film discussions, art exhibits, and athletic events.  We invite you to participate in Women's History Month 2011 by attending one of the fun and informative events below.
