Wind River Job Corps will be celebrating Women’s History throughout the month of March. The efforts kicked off today with the first 3 of 15 posters appearing all over campus – in trades, the dorms, rec center, wellness, cafeteria and more.

Students nominated the women they wanted to recognize. Each poster includes two stories – the first is a photo and story about a specific Woman in History, and second is a story about the Women of WRJob Corps, spotlighting the student nominator.

First posters commemorate Mexican artist Frida Kahlo, Scottish missionary to Nigeria Mary Slosser, and famed Tejano singer/sonwriter Selena Quintanilla. Additional honorees include Florence Nightingale, Helen Keller, Anne Frank, Maya Angelou, Elouise Cobell, Rosa Parks, Jane Austen, Susan LaFlesche Picotte, Harriet Tubman and Marilyn Monroe.

The cafeteria has created a Women’s Wall showcasing all of the stories.

Maria Coen, WRJC medical assisting student nominated missionary Mary Slessor, best known for stopping common infantcide in Nigeria.

WRJC welding student Tori Chyne Aragon from Wyoming's Wind River Reservation nominated Selena for recognition.
