Biographical / Historical
The University of Idaho Women’s Center first opened in Fall 1972. In the early years, the Center provided a space where women could gather and share ideas, talk, study, or just visit with friends. The Center’s first goals were to: 1) increase the number of women attending the university; 2) decrease the drop-out rate of women; 3) develop and sponsor programs to increase awareness of the status, problems and needs of women in Idaho; 4) provide services and programs to help address the needs and concerns of women; 5) provide a clearinghouse of informational and educational resources on issues important to women; and 6) serve as a peer counseling and referral agency (U of I Magazine, Fall 1997). --U of I Women's Center webpage.
