Women's Student Services

Women’s Student Services’ (WSS) initial goal is to develop a suite of services and programs aligned with the mission of the division. WSS staff and students will work to engage in a variety of campus and community conversations to develop a mission, core values, guiding learning outcomes and other foundational materials based in feminist theoretical frameworks.

WOMEN’S STUDENT SERVICES

Women’s Student Services (WSS) is committed to:
  • fostering inclusive conversations that explore topics of intersectional feminism
  • building collaborations and coalitions with other student services offices and other departments on campus,
  • supporting all students in working toward an empowering and equitable community for women-identified students at MSU, and
  • aligning with the Division’s quality standards of being respectful, responsive, and resourceful.

WSS will promote and advocate for gender equity at MSU through the engagement, empowerment, and leadership of all students.

Vision

WE INSPIRE SPARTANS TO GROW.

With an inclusive and intersectional feminist lens, Women’s Student Services inspires Spartans to grow by developing programs for, advocacy on behalf of, research about, and resources for students who identify as women at MSU.

The goal of this conference is to promote women’s leadership development as women-identified Spartans.
