Welcome to Campus Life- GU Women's Center


The GU Women’s Center is a friendly, welcoming space where students come for resources, leadership development, meeting space, or just to hang out on the comfy couches. We provide a safe space where students can come if they need help or support in their personal lives, including issues first-year students face as they deal with the stress of going away to college for the first time. The majority of our programming focuses on the needs of women to help them reach their full potential, both as leaders on campus and in their professional lives after graduation.

The Women’s Center works closely with women student leaders, providing them with resources and support to work for positive change in their campus community.We also hold several career development workshops over the course of the year, building resume, networking, and interviewing skills. Telling Her Story, our annual speaker series, highlights exceptional to inspire and educate our community. Through our WAGE Fellowship, we connect female student leaders with remarkable female alumni to provide them with mentorship, training, and leadership development, as well as excellent networking opportunities.Now, with the new Women’s Center that opened this year at SFS Qatar, we have the exciting opportunity to link women in DC with women in Qatar for discussion and cultural exchange. Here at the Women’s Center, we provide a gathering place for students on campus and empower them to achieve their goals.
