In 1994, Women's Week was created as a direct result of a charge to the Campus Climate Task Force to review the climate for women on campus. On January 18, 1994, the Faculty Senate unanimously passed a resolution for the first annual Women's Week for March 27 through April 1, 1995 to coincide with Women's History Month. The goal was to celebrate the many accomplishments of women and their contributions to this University and society.

Governor Ann Richards proclaimed the week of March 27 through April 2, 1994 as Texas A&M University Women's Week. In her memorandum, she "urged the appropriate recognition thereof."

The 1999 and 2000 committees expanded programming throughout the month of March. Following this change in programming, the 2001 committee decided to change the name to Women's Spirit Month. The 2003 committee felt that honoring women should not be limited in time, and changed the name once more to Women in Time. For 2004, the committee decided to return to the original name of "Women's Week."

The 2005 Planning Committee changed the format from Women's Week to a one-day Women's Leadership Forum.

We thank the President, Executive Vice President and Provost, Vice-Presidents, and Deans for their continued support.
