Mission Statement

The Women's Center empowers students to increase awareness and understanding of gender equity issues. The Women's Center gives voice for women and the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgendered community, with purpose to eliminate barriers, diminish prejudices, and create a supportive climate and space for all.

What We Do

We reach out to the SMU community to create dialogue around gender issues and pride initiatives. Through our student organizations: Women's Interest Network, Women in Science and Engineering, YWCA, CORE, and Spectrum students have the opportunity to make a mark on this campus. And, through our programs such as Allies, Food Chain, Women's Symposium, LGBTea, Transgender Day of Remembrance, and Violence Prevention Program, you have the opportunity to enrich your campus experience.
