Fox Valley Technical College issued the following announcement on March 1.
This March, we are honoring Women’s History Month by recognizing the inspiring women of the Fox Valley Technical College community. Throughout the month, we will be shining a light on some of our alumnae who are leading the way for other women in our social media channels.
In addition, we are hosting the following events:

All Month: “I Am Not Invisible” Display
Appleton Campus Library
The I Am Not Invisible (IANI) awareness campaign began as a program featuring 20 photographs of Oregon women who were military veterans. Now a nationwide program, the IANI campaign strives to increase awareness and generate dialogue about the role of women veterans. The Wisconsin Department of Veterans Affairs through the Wisconsin Veterans Museum created their IANI exhibit to highlight the many faces of a diverse, experienced and important segment of the veteran community and increase awareness about these veterans.
