Women's Organizations at UC
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.
Established in 1974, the Department of Women’s, Gender and Sexuality Studies offers an undergraduate degree, and MA degree, a joint MA/JD, and certificate opportunities. The Department hosts visiting professors, offers research and travel grants, augments library holdings, and honors outstanding women alumni.
Sister Circle
Sister Circle is a staff and faculty support group that encourages professional development, personal empowerment, friendship and success among Black women on campus and across organizational lines. Bring your lunch and meet other sisters across campus. Sister Circle encourages and welcomes participation from every African American woman at UC, to the degree that you are able.
