Student Groups
Campus based networking includes creating opportunities for students, especiallly women students, 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. Among the most active this past year include the following:
Women In Thought (WIT)
Women In Thought (WIT) is a campus group dedicated to promoting the social and political awareness of women's issues on campus and beyond through activist activity, community service initiatives, and awareness-promoting activities. WIT aims to bring women together so that they can articulate the goals for our generation of feminism and work.
