Sharing the stories of VIU students, faculty and alum
International Women's Day (March 8) is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. The Government of Canada’s theme for International Women’s Day 2025 is Strength in every story:
“This year’s theme highlights the importance of amplifying the voices of all women, particularly those who continue to face barriers to success. Creating opportunities for women and girls unlocks their potential and drives innovation, supports Canada’s economy and helps ensure a sustainable future for all. Every woman’s story is a testament to resilience, determination and the power of opportunity,” says Women and Gender Equity Canada.
In honour of this theme, we are highlighting 14 stories from our VIU community of leaders that we told over the last year.
