Welcome to the Women's Center
Celebrating 30 Years of Excellence
The UC Women's Center has a long history at the University of Cincinnati. Established in 1978 as Women's Programs and Services, the office served as a referral center for female students. The small, initial staff connected students and staff to resources and events that were off-campus. Over the years, the Center's staff grew and the office's programs and opportunities grew with it.
Today we have a vast array of programs and services. Students can participate with our Peer Advocate program, build upon leadership and activism skills through our class offerings or take part in our social programs with their peers. Female student leaders are honored at the annual C-Ring event held since 1922 to recognize UC’s outstanding senior women. Women experiencing violence or abuse in their lives can call our 24-hour help line for support and guidance.
