Shawnee State University Women’s Center

The Center was created in the Spring of 2006 by action of the SSU Board of Trustees.  The Women's Forum - a  membership organization which preceded the Center - was formed in the Fall of 2000 "to promote, advocate, educate, and support the women of Shawnee State University and the community at-large." The goals of the Women's Forum/Women's Center are as follows" 

  • Increasing awareness of gender related issues affecting the status of women within academia and the workplace.
  • Addressing, through focused initiatives, the specific concerns of women within the Appalachian culture.
  • Providing a forum for debate and discourse regarding issues affecting women at Shawnee State.
  • Serving as an impetus for concrete actions that will result in increasing opportunities for career advancement, academic accomplishment, enriching experience, and professional development for the women of SSU.
  • Encouraging the establishment of academic programs that provide the opportunity for concentrated study of women's issues
  • Offering programming which will increase the level of self-esteem and personal expectations of all women.
  • Creating an atmosphere in which women are valued, treated with respect, and afforded the same opportunities available to others within the university and community.

Any university faculty, staff member, student, or alumni can be added to the e-mail distribution list by sending a request to alinden@shawnee.edu. The Women's Center Advisory Committee meets monthly to pursue initiatives and projects sponsored by the Center. The Advisory Committee members are appointed each May by the various governance organizations on campus. The committee is comprised of three administrators, three faculty, three support staff and three students. (Revised 2006)
