Welcome to the Women's Center
The ASU Women's Center is the only completely volunteer-run Women's Center in the state of North Carolina. We are committed to educating the Appalachian community about eliminating gender discrimination, promoting social, economic, and political equity, and empowering women and girls. We participate in National Awareness Campaigns such as Domestic Violence, Sexual Assault, and Breast Cancer Awareness. As a student-centered organization, we coordinate programs and events that align with the mission of the Women's Center and develop our own interests. All volunteers contribute to the culture and goals of the Women's Center.
