Student Involvement

Women's Center


Welcome!

The mission of the Women's Center is to assist women with a successful, positive college experience, and to help everyone in the UNL community understand the changing roles of women and men. The Center is located on the third floor of the Nebraska City Union, room 340.

Women’s Center Hours:
Monday - Thursday, 10:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m.
Friday, 10:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.


We have a library, a meeting room for discussion groups, and a lounge area for conversation, study or just relaxing. Anytime the Nebraska Union is open you can read the bulletin boards and peruse the pamphlet racks in the hall outside the Center.

Explore the links to the side (Major Events, Counseling & Support Groups, Volunteer Opportunities, Workshops and Opportunities, Resource Library, and Meet the Staff) and see what the Women's Center has for you.
