Working in collaboration with other University offices, our office provides advocacy and support for women's concerns; initiates and sponsors educational and professional development programs for and about women; provides information, counsel, and advice to women seeking assistance; assists University committees, departments, and offices seeking to improve recruitment and retention of women faculty and administrators, makes recommendations on policies of concern to women; increases sensitivity in the campus community to gender-based issues; and works to correct gender-based inequities.
We offer many resources in the following pages, but please feel free to contact us if you need additional assistance.
