Mission Statement

We assist students in overcoming barriers to enrollment and provide on-going support to meet their academic goals. The staff of Services for Women Students is committed to respect for diversity and advocacy for all.

Goals and Objectives

  • To provide information, resources, and assistance to individual women on matters of equal opportunity and gender equity, and to provide programmatic response to the needs of the same population.
  • To create and implement strategies that promote the status of women on campus and in the community.
  • To engage university women in programs and activities that stimulate and empower participation within the university and community by fully utilizing skills and abilities and fulfilling aspirations.
  • To maintain a visible and accessible location and a supportive environment where women can be encouraged in dialogue, exchange viewpoints, and find assistance.
  • To conduct continuous assessment and evaluation of services to meet the changing needs of the University and the community.
  • To provide opportunities for leadership development and skills enhancement through mentorship and program expansion.


Every day you may make progress. Every step may be fruitful. Yet there will stretch out before you an ever-lengthening, ever-ascending, ever-improving path. You know you will never get to the end of the journey. But this, so far from discouraging, only adds to the joy and glory of the climb.
