The Women's Center hosts a variety of offerings that address topics of gender equity. Through workshops, awareness months, classroom discussions, tabling, and more, we provide outreach opportunties for our community to learn about issues that disproportionately impact women and minoritized genders, the pay gap, reproductive justice, supporting survivors, and more. 

Upcoming Programs and Events are highlighted on the Women's Center Homepage, as well as our Instagram. Please visit regularly for updates and information.
