Picture above: Gloria Steinem with the 2010-2011 Women's Center Exec Board.

A part-time director and two student assistants carry out the day-to-day work of the Center. An Executive Board - made up of 14 students, a faculty member, and two professional staff - oversees planning and program implementation.

Student board members come from a range of majors and backgrounds. One thing they all have in common, though, is excellence. Three Williamson Scholars have been board members over the past five years.

  • elaine
  • Elaine Kohler '13
  • Elaine Kohler is a junior and a sociology major from Chicago who has no idea where her life is going. She likes feminism, Bon Iver, glassblowing, Lucrezia Borgia, making people laugh when their mouths are full, and anything Donald Glover has ever done. As you've undoubtedly surmised, she's up to her waist in job offers and boyfriends. This statement is empirically false.
