2011-2012 Advisory Board

The Women's Center Advisory Board is a collective of undergraduate students, graduate students, classified staff, associate staff and faculty with an interest in participating in the processes associated with developing and maintaining the UMBC Women's Center. Board Members are appointed for a two-year term, with possibility of renewal. The Women's Center seeks to serve a diverse population of women, as well as men interested in women's issues. As a result, a diverse board is sought to assure that varying needs and interests are represented. Recruitment takes place each Spring Semester and interested community members are encouraged to apply.
