Founded in 1988, the Center for Gender and Student Engagement, students, staff, and faculty associated with the CGSE strive to build a campus-wide community that respects differences and offers students opportunities to engage in gender-based work outside the classroom. We are committed to meeting the diverse identities of all community members in support of the mission of the College. The CGSE fulfills this mission through programming, events, individual and student group advising, and individual engagement opportunities.
Central to our mission is the recognition that explorations of gender must take place in tandem with explorations of race and ethnicity, economic status, sexual orientation and other significant aspects of individual and cultural identity.
The CGSE is part of the Dean of the College area
