As we celebrate International Women's Day and recognize the Outstanding Women of Southwestern who have given their time, talents, and leadership to uplift others, we're inviting our community to give in a way that reflects the impact of these women.

This year's guest speaker, Dr. Vanessa Mikan, has poured her time and heart into not only her students but also the Pirate Pantry, helping ensure students have reliable access to food and hygiene products. Help support the pantry to honor her leadership and the spirit of lifting others up that defines this year's celebration.
