Women's Center
In the Spring of 1984, a group of Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ faculty and staff met to plan Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ’s first Women’s History Week program. The success of this event led to a revival of the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ Association for Women, an organization for students, faculty, and staff. As its first project, the Association sought to establish a campus women’s center. In March of 1985, the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ Women’s Center opened under the guidance of the Association, and since January of 1986, the Center has had its own Director. The Association was also successful in completing its other major project—founding the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ Children’s Center, an on-campus daycare center.
