The mission of the Harvard College Women's Center is to promote awareness of women's and gender issues and to support contributions by women that challenge, motivate, and inspire. By centralizing resources and offering original programs, we empower students and student organizations to achieve their visions in pursuit of these goals. The Women's Center is committed to creating a welcoming environment that encourages diversity of perspective, experience and values.
The Women's Center is a division of the Office of Student Life in Harvard College.

Designed as a space for both meetings and relaxation, the Women's Center develops and implements a wide range of programs addressing women's and gender issues at Harvard and beyond. The Women's Center provides information on a wide variety of issues and centralizes references to existing campus resources.
The Women's Center connects and supports Harvard's women by linking female faculty, alumnae, and current Harvard women through conferences, workshops, mentorship, meals and networking events.
Undergraduate student organizations may apply for grants from the Women's Center for programs that raise awareness of women's issues among students and increase the visibility of women in the College.
We're committed to creating community among students, student groups, and Harvard as a whole. Interested in being a part of what we do? Please explore our website to learn more about our programs!
