The Women’s Center

The mission of the Women’s Center is to educate, advocate, and
provide support services for the achievement of women’s equity
at the University and within the community at large. Special
attention is focused on, but not limited to, women who face
additional challenges due to their race, ethnicity, socioeconomic
class, sexual identity, religion, age, and physical or mental
ability. They strive to create a community which celebrates
women’s diversity, while actively confronting sexism through
activism, and working for change through collaborations on
various issues such as women in STEM, and programs such as the
Violence Against Women Prevention Program, Elect Her, Eating
Disorders Awareness Week, $tart $mart, and the Men’s Project.
