Women's Center
The Miami University Women's Center serves as a place of support, education and advocacy for women. The center advocates for equitable treatment and promotes the critical analysis of gender issues in the educational system. Located on the 2nd floor of MacMillan Hall, the Women's Center offers a variety of resources and programs to enhance the educational climate and community for women faculty, staff and students. Although the Women's Studies Program and Women's Center are distinct entities, they are highly cooperative.
