for women on campus

To provide a place for students to
exchange ideas and meet with peers and professors outside of an academic

To provide a pro-active, supportive
environment that builds community

To generate and encourage dialogue
between men and women regarding gender and women's issues at a local, national
and international level

To facilitate action and raise awareness
regarding gender and women's issues in order to help create a campus free of
sexism, discrimination and violence
