Upcoming Events
The Women’s Center & LGBTQ+ Hub is a space open to all students, providing resources and programs to learn more about women’s & LGBTQ+ rights, equity, and gender & sexuality expressions. We offer opportunities for mentoring, mindfulness, creativity, advocacy and volunteering during affinity months, such as, Women’s History Month and Pride Month. We are also committed to providing a range of information and connecting students to on and off campus resources, to address issues such as, women’s reproductive health, Domestic Violence (DV) and Intimate Partner Violence (IPV), mental health services, LGBTQ+ services, and housing or food insecurity. Our goals are to raise awareness about issues affecting women, LGBTQ+ populations and intersections, share resources, provide space for dialogue, connection, and empowerment, and celebrate the experiences of all identities.

Campus-wide Safe Zones
