Our Mission

The Women's Center is a space that supports intellectual, physical, emotional, spiritual, and cultural development. It is a place that facilitates personal transformation and inspires both women and men to unlock ambition and skills to achieve personal power. The Women's Center promotes women's dignity and well being and believes that communities are enriched by diverse points of view.

The Women's Center Seeks to...

...Create an environment that empowers women to develop new ways of thinking and working. It aims to strengthen alliances between women and men and challenges vested interests and power structures. The Women's Center aspires to highlight gender-related topics that impact the USD community as well as encourage the campus community to take on tasks that are often difficult or opposed.

The Women's Center Will...

...Connect students with personal, professional, and/or scholastic role models in women-women mentoring programs and offer educational forums to support the mission and vision of the center. It will host opportunities for women to engage in meaningful dialogue through Wisdom Circles and honor women's achievements through the Women of Impact Award Ceremony.
