On International Women's Day, Durham College is proud to recognize and applaud the incredible achievements of women. It is inspiring to see how our students, employees and alumni are making positive impacts on gender equality in our community and beyond.

Every day, we empower women through their learning and by providing both students and employees access, opportunities and resources to pursue rewarding and fulfilling careers. 

In recognition of International Women’s Day, we’re highlighting some of the remarkable women who call DC home.

From our new president to dedicated faculty members and accomplished students and graduates, these are just a few of the women who have accomplished great things at DC. 

Meet some of the women who make us #DCProud.

Women are creating success for themselves and others every day at DC. Here are some recent examples.
