Gender Studies Mission
The influence of teaching and learning about gender issues touches virtually
every aspect of human life. The Center for Gender Studies is committed to
providing women and men with knowledge and experience that facilitate intelligent
and informed choice and communication regarding gender issues. Knowledge
and experience empower individuals to function as competent decision makers
in their own lives; sensitivity and awareness enable individuals to arrive
at wise decisions and communicate them effectively. The Center seeks to
serve as a responsible broker of gender-relevant knowledge and experience
for students and other members of the academic community, which necessarily
implies service to broader local, national, and international constituencies.
The mission is global; the focus is on service to the multi-cultured society
in which we live.
