To ensure the safety and wellbeing of our community members, we will be hosting only virtual programs this semester. Since we are unable to create equitable programming for some of our in person offerings, we have developed some new ways to engage with the Women's Center this semester.

Our programs and services will be continually evolving to meet the needs of our Virginia Tech community during this fall semester. Head to our website to see all of our current programs or keep scrolling to check out our upcoming offerings.
Gen(der) Ed Podcast
Gen(der) Ed is a bi-weekly podcast hosting conversations that explore the intersection of gender and other identities, and cover topics for our students, faculty, and staff members on leadership, equity, wellbeing, and healthy relationships.

Check out our latest episode where we discuss the importance of cultural awareness with Nina Ha, Director of Asian Cultural Engagement Center and Melissa Faircloth, Director of American Indian and Indigenious Community Center.

Dis(course)
(Dis)course is an ongoing dialogue to discuss relevant issues of gender in society, while bringing to the forefront the work and teachings of VT faculty members. By engaging with both traditional “texts", as well as contemporary text, such as TV, new media, etc., we are creating a modern day book club that fosters community, is intentionally intersectional, and contributes to and engages with gendered issues.

Discussion groups are in partnership with a variety of faculty members and their courses and will take place via Zoom every other week, with two opportunities to engage during each discussion week.

Sign up for discussions on our website.
Connect Virtually with VT Women Connect Directory
VT Women Connect is an informal network that promotes, develops and supports Virginia Tech’s professional women by providing a forum to forge relationships, develop supportive networks, and share ideas and information.

They have recently launched the VT Women Connect Directory for VT women employees to network and connect around areas of expertise and mutual interest.
Upcoming Events
Caregiver check-ins start this week. These check-ins are an opportunity for VT employees who are caregivers to connect with one another around managing the demands of working and caregiving during these times of COVID-19 disruption. 

The first session is this Thursday, September 10th and the second opportunity is next Friday, September 18th.

The first discussion section for (Dis)course takes place today and tomorrow. We will be exploring Disclosure, a Netflix documentary, that looks at transgender depictions in film and television.

Join us as we discuss the importance of accurate representation in media and society for the trans community.
