Signature Events

Take Back the Night is an annual October event which brings awareness to gender-based violence. The event includes a march against gender-based violence and a candlelight vigil to honor survivors and those lost to violence.
Body Acceptance Week
Each year we address a specific area related to body acceptance. These programs are intended to encourage students to find empowerment through understanding that their bodies should be celebrated in all their diverse beauty.
Women's Leadership Academy
The Women's Leadership Academy (WLA), held in collaboration with the Office of the Dean of Students, is an annual program based in principles of intersectional leadership.
The training takes place off-campus each fall semester over two days. WLA participants hear from empowering female leaders on campus and in our community, identify their individual values that motivate them to make social change, collectively engage in formulating solutions to challenges presented, analyze American societal norms that have limited women's participation in leadership roles throughout the course of history, and enhance self-care techniques as a tool to further their growth in leadership
Sexual Assault Awareness Month
The Center for Women and Gender Equity along with other office on campus work to provide programs during the whole month of April to raise awareness for Sexual Assault Awareness Month.
Desserts and Dialogues
A series discussion-based programs where we dialogue around current issues facing women and other marginalized groups paired with tasty desserts. Each topic is inspired by issues raised by our students as we strive to provide education and context to complicated problems.
