About CWG

Utah State University's Center for Women and Gender provides a professional and social climate to enhance opportunities through learning, discovery, and engagement.

The Center's philosophy is that gender refers broadly to gender relations, social arrangements, organizations and institutions, masculinities and femininities, as well as gender discourses.

The Center supports human empowerment in professional, social, and educational arenas by bringing together diverse expertise and resources.
