This year the Northwestern University Women’s Center is celebrating its 23rd year!

The Center was founded in 1986 out of the former Program on Women. It has served as a dynamic catalyst for change in women’s professional, academic and personal lives. For the last two decades through educational programming, advocacy, outreach, coalition-building, counseling and referral programs, the Women’s Center has played a major role in the collective effort to transform Northwestern University into a community that affirms women. We continually strive to improve the climate of gender equity for all.

The staff members of the Center are community activists, counselors and educators who work tirelessly in an attempt to embrace and serve all women at Northwestern. In order to fulfill our mission to reach out across lines of sex, race, ethnicity, gender identity, culture, sexual orientation, class and physical ability, we have built alliances with a variety of campus and community organizations.

We invite you to participate in the exciting programs we are offering throughout this academic year, culminating in a very special anniversary celebration being held on Wednesday, March 28th, 2007. We bid you to join us in the ongoing work of creating and supporting a community that not only thinks well about women but also treats them well. To build a world that is good to women is to build a world that is good for all humanity.
