Welcome
A Women's Studies minor is an interdisciplinary academic curriculum that exposes students to women's historical and contemporary roles, their accomplishments, and their experiences in our society and across cultures.
The Jane Hibbard Idema Women's Studies Center at Aquinas prepares students to become catalysts for change and voices for feminist ideals, both in our society and around the globe. AQ Women's Studies faculty are as diverse as the field of Women's Studies. Not only do they have a range of interests, they each approach their commitment to teaching differently. |

What’s Happening at the Center
Equality Bake Sale
February 14 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Location: Academic Building Lobby
On average, women make 77 cents per dollar that men make in the workplace. To demonstrate this wage gap inequity, men pay 25% more than women for baked goods at the Equality Bake Sale. Imagine if all prices for goods reflected the gendered wage gap.
Proceeds will go to a local women’s organization. >More
