We #ChooseToChallenge Today and Every Day
We raise our hands high to show our commitment to call out inequality.
Will you join us?

This year, we joined the IWD Community in encouraging the world to choose to seek out and celebrate women’s achievements while challenging gender bias and inequality, and we want to continue to spread that message.
Relive our virtual celebration below while hearing from some of today’s leading female voices from the business community and across the University of Texas at Austin.
