Welcome to the Women's Center

Celebrating 30 Years of Excellence!!!!!!!!

We are centrally located on UC's West Campus and provide a comfortable, informal space for students to meet, talk and study. Our friendly and knowledgeable staff can help answer your questions, locate resources, and help address personal, academic or celebrating women.

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 join one of our peer education groups focused on preventing sexual assault or body acceptance. 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.

The Women’s Center will continue to change with the needs and interests of UC’s women students. If you have comments or suggestions on any of our work please let us know.

UC Women's Center Mission Statement

The UC Women's Center is dedicated to meeting the diverse needs and interests of women and LGBTQ students at the University of Cincinnati. We strive to identify and respond to student-driven concerns and are committed to action which benefits women.

We work collaboratively with the University community to:

• Empower women by providing services, resources, and programs that represent a diverse range of interests and concerns;
• Recognize, celebrate, and promote awareness of the multicultural realities of women's lives, particularly across race, sexual orientation, class, age, and abilities;
• Expand available choices to students to facilitate informed and responsible decision making;
• Create a justice-based world by challenging imbalances of power based on social, political, and economic factors.

The UC Women's Center challenges both ourselves and the University community to strive toward the spirit of these goals in both our work and personal lives.
