Greetings from Our Director:
Welcome to the Women's Center's website!
The Center has made a profound difference
in the lives of women at Miami since opening
its doors on July 1, 1991. The Center has
touched literally thousands as it works
to improve the climate in which women students, faculty,
and staff live, work and learn.
The Women's Center continues the tradition
of support, education and advocacy begun
by the first Women's (Resource) Center
at Miami, which operated from 1977 to 1982.
Think of the Women's Center as a"port
of entry". Whether you are struggling with
a personal issue and need help identifying
support services, want organizing assistance
to bring about a change on campus or in
your community, need resources for writing
an article or paper on a gender-related
issue, or simply want a comfortable place
to hang out, the Women's Center is here
for you.
Please stop by the Center, Room 205-211
MacMillan Hall, and get acquainted with
our staff and resources. We look forward
to seeing you!

lives of women at Miami. The Center also
