CENTER DESCRIPTION

The Center for Gender Studies is committed to providing women and men with knowledge and experience that facilitates intelligent and informed choice and communication regarding gender issues. The Center seeks to serve as a responsible broker of gender-relevant knowledge and experience for students and other members of the academic community, which necessarily implies service to broader local, national and international constituencies. Our mission is global; the focus is on service to the multicultural society in which we live.
