Womyn's Union

The Womyn's Union is a student support and action group which encourages campus-wide discussion of issues of importance to women. It organizes activities on campus, which in recent years, have included performances of "The Vagina Monoglues," speakers, films, workshops, fundraisers for breast cancer research, and forms of entertainment that address these issues. Meetings are held regularly at the Women's Center, Reamer Campus Center, Room 302.  For more information contact Meaghan Keenan at keenanm@union.edu.
