POV: Spark Joy

In all the facets of our work, the Women’s Center calls for justice and healing, committed to amplifying a diverse range of voices, envisioning the day when everyone can flourish. We know the power – and necessity – of passing on the torch. Part of that flourishing is a deep-rooted sense of joy.

Supporting Members of the Black Community

We are committed to making the University of Virginia a place where everyone is welcome.

Valleys that Nurture Growth

We reflect on the lessons we’ve learned from this year’s graduates, and hope they will similarly reflect on and absorb the lessons they learned from their time with us.

Palko POV: Rising Tide of Inequity

As Texas’ SB8 went into effect on September 1, 2021, Hurricane Ida continued to tear through the country, impacting both the Gulf region and the Northeast, and Western states and communities remained on high alert as they face record-setting wildfires.
