Council for Women’s Concerns (CWC)

The Council for Women’s Concerns of the West Virginia University Campus promotes equality of women in the academic and local communities. The Council was founded in 1977 and has upheld a presence throughout the evolving response to women’s issues. CWC has continued to sponsor conferences and activities that highlight the concerns and accomplishments of women, such as the Mary Catherine Buswell Award, Women of Color Day Luncheon during Diversity Week, and Take Our Daughters to Work Day. It has also promoted institutional development via the Center for Women’s Studies, Social Justice Council, Affirmative Action Office, Sexual Assault Prevention Program, and Child-Care Programs. Research and resource distribution of which the CWC has been involved includes distribution of a “Women’s Resource Guide” to incoming freshmen women and female faculty and staff, as well as revision and expansion of study on “Status of WVU Women”.
