Women of Courage and Vision
Each year the President's Commission on the Status of Women (PCSW) and the Women’s Center celebrate women of courage and vision with a reception in their honor. The reception recognizes hundreds of women who make a difference on our campus.
The women of courage and vision, the award nomination is closed until Spring 2026.
Awardees portray courage and vision and are woman-identifying students, faculty, or staff members at Minnesota State Mankato.
