At the Women’s Center, we are committed to fostering education, advocacy, and community engagement to promote equity. Our programs are designed to inspire, empower, and support all members of the Marshall University community.
We offer a variety of regular programs throughout the year, as well as special feature programs that address emerging topics in the field. We actively partner with student organizations, campus offices, and community groups to create impactful events that uplift diverse voices and experiences.
Signature Programs
- Women’s History Month: The Women’s Center recognizes March as Women’s History Month on campus. Each year we offer a variety of programs, including a campus celebration of International Women’s Day, National Women and Girls HIV/AIDS Awareness Day, and a Period Product Drive.
- Women of Marshall Awards: The Women’s Center created this award to honor Marshall University faculty, staff,students, and alumni who have demonstrated significant contributions toward the advancement of gender equity and/or women’s empowerment through leadership, mentorship, education, activism, community service, policy development, research, and arts and culture.
- Love Your Body: Love Your Body programming in the Women’s Center is inspired by the National Organization of Women annual Love Your Body Day Campaigns. Our goal is to create opportunities that encourage the campus community to challenge how society views bodies of varying shapes, sizes, genders, races, abilities and backgrounds.
- Salary Negotiation: The Women’s Center offers salary negotiation workshops from the American Association of University Women (AAUW). In these workshops, you will learn how to research your target salary, highlight your accomplishments and find the right words — and the confidence — to negotiate for better benefits and pay.
