The Women’s Collective provides a welcoming environment for self-identified women on campus to study, chat, or relax. A self-identified woman is anyone who sees themselves or identifies as a woman; this includes transwomen, gender and/or sex transitioning, and natal females or intersexed individuals. The support provided is multi-dimensional; there is a ‘safer space’ on both campuses to provide an area for self-identified women to meet, share, and support one another with respect and understanding, and there is the collective at large. The collective at large is facilitated through the Women’s collective director who organizes and provides resources on campus and regular meetings. The governing process of the Women’s collective is based on Consensus Decision Making.
