The Women’s Center’s outreach goal consists of building alliances and promoting collaboration, primarily among Northwestern’s women student, faculty and staff. To help us effectively serve this diverse community of women, we have established a strong network of individuals drawn from various departments and organizations.

Our extensive collaborative work has included the co-sponsorship of programs, serving on various committees and doing firesides in residential halls. Upon request, we are available to do presentations to departments, campus groups and halls of residence. We can speak on what the Women’s Center does or on other wide ranging issues that affect women’ lives.

An important part of our outreach goal is to help women forge strong connections with each other. In order to ensure that this takes place, we create programs and events that act as forums for women to make initial contact and also to strengthen already existing relationships. Some of these programs include:

• Creating a Network of Women
• International Women’s Day Celebration
• NU Connections
• Women Staff Holiday Luncheon
  

We invite you to join us in this endeavor, of transforming Northwestern into a community that not only supports women’s academic and career aspirations but also celebrates them.
