while collaborating with other efforts to ensure excellence
through diversity in the UW System.
Ongoing projects include:
- Thirty-four years of building a Wisconsin Women's Studies Learning
Community through the annual Wisconsin Women's Studies Conference.

with the UW System Inclusivity Initiative (add page link) for
LGBT peoples and their allies.

expand the resources devoted to Women's Studies programs, certification,
scholarship. teaching , and curriculum in the UW System.
