Mission
The Women’s and Gender Center (WGC) seeks to foster a critical awareness of gender and create an intentional space, accessible to students of all genders, for learning and exploring gender through personal experience, academic inquiry, community building and discussion. We serve as a resource for women, femmes and nonbinary students, as well as students who want to deepen their understanding of gender, gender identity and feminism. We center the stories and experiences of currently and traditionally marginalized genders in our work.
