To inform the University community on the status of women by collecting data, initiating and supporting outreach programs, and by preparing and disseminating informational publications.
To help women develop their skills, continue their education and increase networking by suggesting, and assisting in, the implementation of informational and educational programs.
To stimulate thinking regarding the basic social changes occurring in our society as newly defined roles for women and men emerge.
