Give to Gain
March 8 is recognized around the world as International Women's Day. This day is intended to inspire and empower women through celebration, reflection and advocacy. First observed in 1911 in Europe, International Women's Day has grown into a global movement to unite the aspirations of women around the world.
The 2026 theme is 'Give to Gain', which emphasizes the power of reciprocity and support. When people, organizations, and communities give generously, opportunities and support for women increase.
Women's Care Day - KingThursday, Mar. 5, 2026 from 12:30 to 2:30 p.m. Take time for self-care at Women’s Care Day. Students are invited to relax and enjoy pampering services including manicures and facials in a calm and welcoming environment.
Campus Art Feature
Mary Rawlyk is a Canadian printmaker who trained in England and has worked from Burlington, Ontario for many years. She describes herself as a housewife and artist, balancing family life with a steady printmaking practice. Her career grew out of postgraduate study in printmaking and a determination to make work that speaks to women’s everyday lives.
Wringing Shirt uses a wringer and a shirt to make the work of home visible. Rawlyk links the wringer to the etching press, showing how the tools and actions of domestic labour mirror the artist’s own printmaking process. The piece asks us to value unpaid domestic labour and to notice how private chores support public life. It challenges the idea that housework is small or unimportant, and points to the wider social and gendered systems that shape women’s lives.
