On March 5, ahead of the March 8 observance, the School of Economics and Management (SEM) at the University of Science and Technology Beijing (USTB) marked International Women's Day with floral arranging and a campus walk for women faculty and staff
At two in the afternoon, the room was set with carnations, baby's breath, sunflowers and assorted foliage. Women faculty set aside work, trimmed stems, matched colors and built their own bouquets, with results ranging from fresh and understated to bold and vivid.
At half past three, after a late-season snow, the group gathered in front of the SEM Building for a campus walk along a planned route. The familiar campus looked different under fresh snow, and chatting about their work and sharing stories from everyday life.
By combining the quiet creativity of floral arrangement with the energy of an outdoor walk, SEM demonstrated its care for the physical and mental well-being of its female faculty and staff. The School will continue to foster a supportive and inclusive campus environment and provide more opportunities for women to share their talents, connect with colleagues, and thrive both professionally and personally.
