Recognizing and thanking the Nation's women's colleges and universities and recognizing March 5 as "National Women's Colleges and Universities Day".
HRES 1091 is a symbolic resolution recognizing women’s colleges and universities and designating March 5 as "National Women’s Colleges and Universities Day." It acknowledges the historical role of these 30 remaining institutions in advancing women’s education, serving diverse and underserved students (including high Pell recipient rates), and producing women in STEM fields. The resolution expresses the House’s gratitude for their contributions to higher education and workforce development but does not create new laws, funding, or requirements. It is purely a ceremonial acknowledgment with no direct policy impact on the institutions or students.
