Women of UD:  Catalysts of our Community

During Women’s History Month, the Women’s Center coordinates, as an experiential learning opportunity for students, the annual Women of UD exhibit, highlighting the contributions women have made at the University of Dayton. The 2023 theme, Catalysts of our Community, recognizes faculty, staff, and students who stood in the front and those who worked behind the scenes to enrich our community in a variety of ways. Honorees have cultivated positive change on their team, ensuring that processes, procedures, and services for the campus community have been rooted in the common good as well as mentored a generation of new professionals, or someone who has been a driving force for sustaining relationships with the broader Dayton community. Change and impacts can be felt at the individual level or the university level - each will leave a lasting legacy at UD.
