Women’s Week Nomination Form

International Women’s Day is a global day celebrating the economic, political, and social achievements of women past, present, and future. The Equity Review Committee (ERC) at Brandon University is continuing the work of the former Status of Women’s Review Committee (SWRC) by recognizing exceptional student leaders who are making outstanding contributions to our community and beyond.

The 2026 theme, #GiveToGain, celebrates the power of generosity, mentorship, and shared action to advance equity for all.

​To ensure students from your faculty are recognized at this special event, they need to be nominated. Nominations can be submitted by completing the online nomination form. We request that you not inform the student of the nomination, so individuals can be surprised when they are contacted by a member of the organizing committee.
