The UTC Women’s Center’s mission is to promote an equitable and empowering environment for all UTC students faculty and staff. We encourage personal, social and intellectual growth within a diverse community by providing comprehensive programs, services, and outreach activities. We will create a community for women as they empower themselves and each other with the goal of enhancement of women’s lives.


The Transformation Project
The project began as part of a Violence Against Women grant from the Department of Justice and also receives funding from the Lupton Fund. The project provides leadership working with campus and community partners to reduce violence against women, including relationship violence, sexual assault, stalking and sexual harassment. It serves students, faculty, and staff at UTC.

We hope you will utilize us as a resource on campus to learn more about how to address women’s issues and work towards ending violence against women.
