Celebrating Women’s Achievements

As we celebrate International Women’s Day, we take a moment to honor the incredible contributions of women worldwide. Today serves as a reminder of the progress we’ve made and the work that still lies ahead to achieve gender equality. 

At the University of Louisville (UofL), we are proud to be a part of the journey towards empowerment and equality. UofL offers a diverse range of programs and initiatives—60+ of which can be completed 100% online—that provide opportunity for women and support their academic and professional growth. 

Flexible, online bachelor’s, master’s, doctoral, and certificate programs are offered across interests such as advocacy, business administration, communication, criminal justice, education and teaching, engineering, higher education administration, human resources, organizational management and leadership, public health, social sciences, social work, sport administration, technology and more. 

One of the Cardinal Principles of our institution is Diversity and Inclusion. We believe in creating an environment where every individual, regardless of gender, background or identity, can thrive and succeed. 

Historically, women have been underrepresented in Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics, and Health Sciences fields. This is due to a number of factors, including access to education, among other considerations. This is a major part of why UofL is proud to offer so many game-changing online opportunities for academic and professional development within the STEM-H fields. We offer STEM-H education in biostatistics, computer science, cybersecurity, engineering, healthcare leadership and administration, public health, nursing, and more.  

On this special day, we highlight the achievements of our women students, alumni, faculty and staff who inspire us with their passion, resilience and determination. They are leaders, innovators and change-makers, breaking barriers in their communities and beyond. 

We hope that you will join us in celebrating International Women’s Day and honoring the remarkable achievements of women everywhere. Together, we can continue to build a world where gender equality is not just a dream but a reality. 

Happy International Women’s Day!
