Women's Center
In the Spring of 1984, a group of 51³Ô¹ÏÍø faculty and staff met to plan 51³Ô¹ÏÍø’s first Women’s History Week program. The success of this event led to a revival of the 51³Ô¹ÏÍø Association for Women, an organization for students, faculty, and staff. As its first project, the Association sought to establish a campus women’s center. In March of 1985, the 51³Ô¹ÏÍø Women’s Center opened under the guidance of the Association, and since January of 1986, the Center has had its own Director. The Association was also successful in completing its other major project—founding the 51³Ô¹ÏÍø Children’s Center, an on-campus daycare center.
During exams, our hours may change, and we are closed during semester breaks.
