On Wednesday, March 24, 2010 The Women’s Center at City Tech celebrated its grand opening. This day-long event included three key events under the theme “Women’s Work is Never Done”. City Tech Provost Bonne August and VP Armoza kicked off the energy breakfast to a room of students, staff and faculty. In the afternoon, Margo Belton a nutrition and fitness expert engaged students, staff and faculty in a healthy snack-as-energy source mini-series of self-assessments. At the end of the day President Hotzler welcomed the large group of students, staff and faculty and expressed his support of The Women’s Center and acknowledged the efforts of VP Armoza. Dr. Marta Effinger-Crichlow, Professor of African-American Studies shared her narrative about how women inspire, educate and empower each other. The day ended with the formal ribbon cutting at the Center with President Hotzler, VP Armoza, Evita Belmonte, SGA President and Valrine Daley, Coordinator of The Women’s Center.

To date The Women’s Center has established signature programs like the TEA & TALK series that brings together alumna, staff and faculty serving as mentors, coaches and facilitators for these student centered career trajectory conversations. Other programs collaborate with existing student service programs like the LOOK & FEEL BETTER series where students work with professionals from The Counseling Services Center and The Wellness Center is a self-assessment, discussion and tools model. The GROW Workshop series aims to provide students with access to and personal understanding of critical professional development topics. In addition to the expressed student interest many staff have requested similar programming. To see more photos visit our photo gallery.
