Groups

Campus-based networking includes creating opportunities for students, especiallly student women, to gather and address their concerns and needs. One way in which this is accomplished is through PWC-sponsored campus women's groups. The PWC provides consultation, financial and material support, space, equipment and professional expertise to a number of student groups, including:
