Women's Center

Mission Statement

The mission of the Women's Center is to celebrate and empower women by promoting social justice, education, mentoring, and outreach and by fostering inclusive, communal spaces.

Why A Women's Center?

We promote gender equity by providing resources and programs. We provide a safe space to talk. We seek to empower women and men to work for justice and social change. We make connections through internship and volunteer opportunities. We offer a place to gather for lively discussion or quiet contemplation.

We Celebrate Women!

Because: Worldwide women receive 30-40% less pay on average for the same work as men.

Because: 3 to 4 million women are battered each year; and 60% of homeless women are homeless due to domestic violence.

Because: 1 out of 5 women are sexually abused.

Because: Men outnumber women 8-1 in professions that pay from $40,000 to $100,000.

Because: 75% of retirees living below the poverty line are women.

Because: Women hold less than 20% of managerial, administrative, and manufacturing jobs worldwide.

Because: Women make up 1/2 the world's population, perform 2/3 of the world's work, receive less than 1/10 of its income, and own less than 1/100 of the world's property.

Because: We are here to help level the  playing field!
