Center for Women's & Gender Equity
September 2018
Welcome Back Bears!
Our Mission
The Center for Women's and Gender Equity honors gender as a central identity and engages critical women's and gender issues, while challenging systems of inequity and advocating for change at the University of Northern Colorado.
The CWGE is dedicated to offering an inclusive environment and is committed to social justice and equity for all. We value people of all genders coming together to end sexism and all other forms of oppression.
September Flashback
We had a ton of fun with everyone during September! If you didn't make it to any events last month be sure to check out our events in the coming months!
Open House & Name Launch
September 13th
After 25 years, the Women’s Resource Center is no longer the WRC! What better way to ring in our silver year, than with honoring the history of the past while embracing the hope of the future. With over 100 students that attended including Andy Feinstein we officially launched our new name The Center for Women's and Gender Equity! Our hopes are that this name better embraces all of our campus and lends itself to welcoming students across all gender identities.
Take Back The Night
