The mission of the Women and Gender Studies Center is to bridge academic coursework with student development, leadership, and coalition building.

Come Visit our Center throughout the week, for a cozy student space designed for studying, reading, and connecting with other students within WGST and across the university! We are designed to provide opportunities for intellectual, personal, and social inquiry and interrogation related to sex; gender; gender identity/expression; sexuality; intersections with race, ethnicity, class, (dis) ability, age, nationality, immigration and citizenship status, and religion, through feminist, queer and multiracial lenses, with a focus on global and transnational issues and public policy. We host lectures, offer student development opportunities, and participate in important programs such as Women's History Month and the Consent Carnival to raise awareness and promote a sense of community on campus. Learn more about our events, access some of our women and gender studies resources, and get involved by visiting us! Our program offers a major in Women and Gender Studies, as well as two minors: Women and Gender Studies and LGBTQ Studies. For graduate students, we offer a 15-credit graduate Certificate and a 36-credit Masters degree in Interdisciplinary Studies with a Concentration in Women and Gender Studies.

The university is closed Friday, June 19th in honor and recognition of Juneteenth-- a powerful reminder of Black resilience, liberation, and the continued fight for justice.
