Welcome!
The Women’s Center serves as a catalyst for the University to achieve equity for women.
A unit of the Office for Equity and Diversity, the Women’s Center primarily supports University students, staff, faculty, but also alumni and community members. Toward that end, the Women’s Center connects individuals and organizations with resources, offers leadership development and educational programs, and advocates for systemic policy, structure and climate change.
Our signature events, resources, awards, and advocacy work are recognized for their excellence and focus on helping women succeed. We invite your participation and wish you the best!
