Membership Benefits
The Women's Center supports and empowers students at Georgetown. Women are the majority of the student body, yet are often marginalized in the classroom and campus experiences. As a result, the Women's Center seeks to center the experience of women and educate the entire campus about gender dynamics that impact campus culture. We seek to create a more equitable campus for a more expansive notion of gender and gender roles. We serve students of all gender identities.

The Women's Center staff and LGBTQ Resource Center (new window)staff collaborate in order to holistically serve students. In particular, we focus on the following areas:

Education and Outreach: We provide trainings and workshops for faculty, staff, and students. We are happy to partner with your organization to help you think through how gender functions in your organization. We offer programs and events in collaboration with student groups, academic units, and other campus partners.

Student Engagement and Leadership Development: We offer programs that help students cultivate and develop their leadership skills and unique strengths. These include lectures, discussions, and retreats. Our student staff (link) are ambassadors of the Women's Center. They lead their peers in conversation and events.

Individual Student Support: Staff it available to talk with students about anything and everything. We can connect you with resources, or help you think through topics like what you want to major in, how things are going with your roommates, whether you want to study abroad, how to navigate conflict with a friend, and all of the other things that come with student life.

Health and Wellness: We work individually with students to help students address challenges and flourish at Georgetown. As a semi-confidential Title IX reporting space (new window), we also help students in crisis situations. A semi-confidential space means that son-identifying information about an incident of sexual assault will be shared with a Title IX Coordinator; you will not be contacted by a Title IX Coordinator. Additionally, we are here to help you navigate the University Bias Reporting system for incidents inside and outside of the classroom. We can connect you with resources on and off-campus.
Community Building: We are stronger when we come together. We seek to not only gather people together, but to build strong relationships marked by justice. Together, we can influence culture on the Hilltop.

Advocacy and Empowerment: We challenge oppressive ideologies and encourage a holistic approach to community building and education.
Alumni Engagement: We cultivate a community of Hoyas supporting Hoyas. In the Women's Center, we can connect you with alumni in roles of professional networking and mentoring.

In-office and Virtual Services: Stop by Leavey 327 or hop on zoom to talk with a staff member about personal topics, navigating campus culture, and academic issues. We also offer free pregnancy tests, period products, and snacks.
