Gender & Women’s Studies

The Gender & Women’s Studies Minor is an interdisciplinary program that crosses traditional academic boundaries, pedagogical perspectives, and student experiences. The program offers a comprehensive study for students interested in the construction of gender, femininity, masculinity, sexuality and intersectionality.

A minor in Gender & Women’s Studies complements any major by expanding students’ knowledge and understanding of the human experience and what it means to be gendered.

[Not Just] Women’s Center (NJWC)

The mission of the [Not Just] Women’s Center (NJWC) is to provide an overall safe, inviting and inclusive environment for all students. Any person, no matter their sex, gender, orientation, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, immigration status, or religious beliefs can be a victim of sexual assault. The NJWC is committed to a campus free of sexual violence and from the fear of violence. Students can expect confidential peer support and information regarding healthy sexuality, healthy relationships, the importance of consent, tools for survivors, positive body image, being an active bystander and ways to prevent sexual assault. We are committed to spreading awareness, speaking out against injustice, educating on prevention, and offering tools for intervention.
