Gardner‑Webb University Announces Women’s History Month Events and Wellness Series

Three female students walking on campus

March Programming Celebrates Creativity, Connection, and The Power of Community

BOILING SPRINGS, N.C.—Gardner‑Webb University will mark Women’s History Month with a series of uplifting, community‑centered events designed to honor the strength, creativity, and connections of women across campus and beyond. The month’s theme, “Celebrating the hearts that shaped ours,� will be reflected through creative expressions of gratitude, simple wellness practices, and opportunities to build meaningful bonds.

“Women’s History Month is a celebration of the community, creativity, and connection that bonds women today,� observed Director of Campus Unity and Connection Jessika Raduly. “This month, we are honoring the spirit of womanhood by leaning into the power of small, intentional gestures. Whether we are reflecting on our gratitude through handwritten thank you notes, weaving together the literal and symbolic threads of friendship bracelets, or finding beauty in growth while making fresh flower bouquets, we are celebrating the unique ways women nurture the world around them.�

As the month unfolds, the focus expands beyond creativity to emphasize collective strength and well‑being reflected in the Walk & Talk wellness series. “To me, these gatherings represent the true essence of this month: taking the time to listen to one another’s stories, supporting our mental and physical health, and building a future where every woman feels seen and celebrated,� Raduly added.
