Welcome Civil Service and Bargaining Unit Women!
Our hope is that this webpage helps improve the academic and professional environment for CSBU women at the University of Minnesota. On this page you’ll find resources that CSBU women have suggested would be helpful to their success. We encourage you to get involved in campus life—via the Women’s Center, through the CSBU Women’s Action Network, by nominating yourself or colleagues for awards, and through the thousands of other fantastic opportunities available to you. Please contact us if you have a great idea to help the Women’s Center be a stronger catalyst for the University to achieve equity for women.

This service is free to eligible University families earning less than $50,000 per year.
