鈥淲e are excited to have many cosponsors this year, and we look forward to engaging campus while celebrating women in history,鈥� said Brooke Wagner, associate professor of sociology and director of Wittenberg鈥檚 Womyn鈥檚 Center. 鈥淧lease view our calendar of events and share it with others. We have over 10 departments and student organizations contributing this year. There are many ways to celebrate, and we hope you join us in celebration.鈥�
The Womyn鈥檚 Center is committed to building safe, inclusive, learning environments for all students, faculty, staff and the Springfield community regardless of one's gender, sexual orientation, nationality, age, race, class, ability status, or religion and advocates for gender-equity at the individual and systems level. Located on the first floor of the Joseph C. Shouvlin Center for Lifelong Learning in room 103, the Womyn鈥檚 Center welcomes students to drop by during open hours to watch TV, study on the couch, read from our feminist library, or bring a group and play one of the center鈥檚 many board games.
