CENTER FOR WOMEN HOME

EMORY UNIVERSITY HOME


For more than fifteen years, the Center for Women at Emory has provided support, advocacy, inspiration, intellectual engagement, and a chance for women to make their voices heard. Your leadership is crucial if we are to accomplish these goals.  By becoming a “Friend,” you are engaging in what President Jim Wagner has called “the practice of community” by sustaining a gathering place for multiple generations of women to come and learn from one another. Your involvement helps us develop programming that celebrates women and challenges our conceptions of who women are and how women can shape the world.
