Women's Center Pledge Form

The Women’s Center is committed to our work with students, staff, and faculty in an effort to promote gender equity on campus. Our efforts are spread widely throughout the University community and support all aspects of the University’s mission of teaching, research, and service. We are a key contributor, along with our colleagues at the other cultural centers and the corresponding academic institutes, to the University’s priorities of supporting an engaged undergraduate experience, enhancing the institution’s research portfolio, and increasing the diversity of our community. While we are proud of our successes, we need your help to support and enhance this work.

In 2007, the Women’s Center has focused our advocacy efforts in the areas of

• supporting work/life balance for students, staff, and faculty;
• engaging men in the work of ending violence against women;
• recruiting and retaining women in the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) disciplines; and
• enhancing opportunities for women in leadership roles on campus.

With your help, we can continue our advocacy work at this institution. Your financial support also allows us to provide financial support to

• to students engaged in scholarship and activism around issues of gender equity and social justice on campus to attend national conferences;
• to the recipients of the 100 Years of Women Scholarship, who are recognized for their demonstrated commitment to women’s issues through service to their community or school and their high academic performance;
• to host our annual Women of Color luncheon and awards ceremony, which serve to create networking opportunities for women who are underrepresented on campus and to recognize the recipients of the Women of Color Award for their distinguished service and contributions to the University of Connecticut, as well as their commitment to enhancing quality of life for and/or service as a role model for Women of Color; and
• to support our continued work to educate our community to help prevent and eliminate sexual assault, dating violence, stalking and sexual harassment on campus through our Violence Against Women Prevention Program.
