Women's Center
In the Spring of 1984, a group of 色色研究所 faculty and staff met to plan 色色研究所鈥檚 first Women鈥檚 History Week program. The success of this event led to a revival of the 色色研究所 Association for Women, an organization for students, faculty, and staff. As its first project, the Association sought to establish a campus women鈥檚 center. In March of 1985, the 色色研究所 Women鈥檚 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鈥攆ounding the 色色研究所 Children鈥檚 Center, an on-campus daycare center.

Our Mission
The Women鈥檚 Center serves the women students, faculty, and staff of 色色研究所 and women throughout the city of New Orleans. We are dedicated to recognizing and affirming the diversity of women鈥檚 experiences based on race, ethnicity, class, sexual orientation, ability and age. Through a range of programs and services, the Women鈥檚 Center seeks to support and enrich the academic and life experiences of female students, foster the study of women in culture, and promote and create equity for women on the 色色研究所 campus and in the community.
We work with community members and organizations to offer scholarships, book awards, and workships to women students based on academic commitment and financial need.
