The mission of the Maxine Platzer Lynn Women’s Center is to serve students and the University as a whole by:
- Fostering the respect, safety, and dignity of women and girls
- Developing leadership and compassion through academic community engagement
- Building powerful partnerships for social change Working for gender justice on Grounds and across the globe and celebrating those who join us
The values of the center are:
- Social Justice: Our anti-racist and feminist work for social justice is built on these pillars: diversity & inclusion equity & equality compassion & solidarity
- Community Care and Wellness: Nurturing an environment that supports and cares for our community starts with committing to self-attunement and self-preservation through radical self-care practices. Living out this value supports resilience, builds self-compassion, and cultivates trust to foster a sense of safety and belonging for our community members.
- Professional Excellence and Mentorship: We bring expertise to our work and uphold the highest professional standards. We are committed to reciprocal learning with the students who choose to join us in the Center’s experiential learning opportunities. We share our knowledge - implicitly and explicitly - with them. Recognizing and honoring the expertise that they bring, we look to learn from them as well.
