“Women belong in all places where decisions are being made…” – Ruth Bader Ginsburg, 2009
Today, on this special occasion of International Women’s Day, I extend my heartfelt wishes to our Pro-Chancellor, the distinguished female members of the Governing Council, our female Provosts, Deans, Professors, and Senate members, our Directors, members of Congregation, staff, alumnae, and students-all phenomenal women whose leadership, strength, and brilliance continue to shape Bowen and our world at large.
At Bowen, we celebrate the remarkable contributions of women across all levels-women who build legacies, and redefine leadership with purpose and impact. Your resilience, dedication, and vision inspire generations, proving that leadership is not about titles, but about transformation.
From the boardroom to the classroom, from research to administration, from student leadership to groundbreaking achievements, you continue to lead with courage, serve with excellence, and set the stage for future generations. Your influence is felt not just within our university but across society, as you mold minds, drive innovation, and uplift communities.
As we mark this year’s International Women’s Day, let us reaffirm our commitment to fostering a world where women lead boldly, excel unapologetically, and break barriers fearlessly. At Bowen, we remain dedicated to empowering women, ensuring that every young girl and woman within our community sees no limits to what she can achieve.
To every woman of Bowen University and beyond: Keep leading. Keep inspiring. Keep making history.
Happy International Women’s Day!
J. O. Babalola, FAS
Vice-Chancellor
