Subject: Through education, outreach, and advocacy, the Duke Divinity Women's Center fosters diverse learning and living environments that are safe and empowering for all women and men in the Duke community; this list serves as a venue for discussion and announcements for the goals of the center to be accomplished.

Description: The Women’s Center serves the entire Divinity
School community through a focus on the special
needs and contributions of women in ministry in
and to the church and society. The office,
coordinated by two women, is a resource center for
the whole community, in addition to a support and
action center for women in particular.

The Women’s Center serves as a resource and
support center for the entire Divinity School
community, responding to the needs of the
community as they relate to issues of gender. It
serves as a clearinghouse for information on a
variety of issues affecting women and provides
opportunities for interaction, networking,
challenge, and growth for students and faculty
interested in gender issues. It also serves as a
sacred space for those in the community who
experience struggles in their lives and/or ministries.

The center is committed to creating opportunities
to meet for fellowship, worship, and study. As a
touchstone within the Duke Divinity community, the
Women’s Center seeks to provide a space that
affirms the Imago Dei in women and that views
their participation in all aspects the body of
Christ as essential.
