Welcome to The Alice Drum Women's Center!

The Franklin & Marshall Women's Center was established in 1992 to encourage dialogue on women's and gender issues, to advocate for women, and to promote equality and mutual respect on campus.

Mission Statement: "The Women's Center of Franklin & Marshall College is committed to equality and equity for women on the campus and in the community. The Center provides programs that educate the campus about women's contributions to society, serves as an advocate for the needs and concerns of women, offers referrals to other campus and community services, provides resource materials about women's issues, sponsors support programs for women on the campus, and empowers students to work for a future free of sexism."

In honor of Professor Alice Drum's retirement in spring 2008, we have become the Alice Drum Women's Center. Dr. Drum, F&M's first woman vice president and later chair of the Women & Gender Studies program, was instrumental in the founding of the Center 17 years ago.
