[Grovenet] Center for Gender Equity needs community members on board

[Alana Graham]

The Center for Gender Equity of Pacific University is looking for two or three people from the community to join our Advisory Board.  The board meets once a month, and the major obligation of board members is to give feedback and advice.  Also, each board member generally has a project of some sort, but the time commitment is really individual. 

The mission of CGE is to support gender equity through dialogue, programming, service, research, education and advocacy in order to facilitate collaborative, humane, and sustainable University, local and global communities.  CGE provides Pacific University and the Forest Grove community with regular programming on important issues and support for women, men, and LGTB students, faculty and staff.  

In addition, CGE has sponsored several high profile projects for the community: Girls Today, “It’s a Guy Thing,” annual displays of the AIDS quilt, work with the Latina community, “Take Back the Night” marches, Guerrilla Girls and presentations of The Vagina Monologues and The Laramie Project.  

CGE also organizes service-learning travel experiences for our students and community members to southern India.
