Women’s Center George Street
What is a Women’s Center? It is a space for women and men to receive confidential support, to empower them to work on issues related to women’s advocacy, and a central point for ensuring gender equity on NCCU’s campus. The Center is designed to help NCCU’s women celebrate their strengths and realize their limitless potential. The university women’s center serves all members of the University community seeking support, information, and other resources.
Programs and initiatives offered include, Eagle Women’s Village living-learning residential community in Ruffin Hall, the Circle of Sisters women’s leadership program, HBCU HAVEN (Helpers and Advocates for Violence Ending Now), Men Creating Change, Women Inspiring Learning Momentum science academy for middle school girls, Breast Cancer Awareness and Domestic Violence Awareness Month in Oct, Love Your Body Week in Feb, Women’s Empowerment Week in Mar, and Sexual Assault Awareness Month in April.
There are over 500 women’s centers nationwide, and four other women’s centers at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU’s). The NCCU Women’s Center, however, is the first one of its kind at a public HBCU. This fact makes NCCU a pioneer in public HBCU’s— true to its history.
