Commission For Women
 

Commission for Women

A Voice,  A Vision,  A Common Ground

The Commission For Women is charged with assessing the status of women faculty, staff, and students at all Penn State campuses and addressing issues identified with recommendations for improving the conditions for Penn State women.  Our theme for 2007-2008 is "Celebrating the influence and impact of Penn State Women."  Meetings are held the second Thursday of each month.  The PSGV CFW has selected the Domestic Violence Center of Chester County as its adopted community service organization for 2007/2008.  The Penn State Great Valley Commission For Women is sponsored by the Diversity Action Council.

Mission

Penn State University is committed to equal opportunity for all members of the community.  The Commission for Women (CFW) initiates, supports, and endorses activities and programs that will benefit all women at the University.
