By KASEY VAN DYKE staff writer
Provost Ray Coward said he felt USU is “standing on the shoulders of giants,” during his speech at the celebration of the newly created Center for Women and Gender. Tuesday, the three units being combined – Women’s Center, Women and Gender Studies (WGS) and Women and Gender Research Institute (WGRI) – met in the Taggart Student Center Ballroom, bringing pre- sentations, food and an all-girl band called Moxey. Ann Austin – vice provost for faculty development and diversity, and a professor in the department of family, consumer and human develop- ment – also spoke, saying the new center would be “vigorous and cut- ting-edge.” Austin was asked in the summer of 2009 to study the feasibility of combining the WGS, WGRI and Women’s Center. She described the women on the study committee as “true scholars” and commented on the work done by the committee. “As our students say, it was awesome,” she said. Though, USU “has long been enriched by the three centers,” she said, the “whole truly would be greater than the sum of its parts.” According to its mission statement, WGS “provides a broad base of study,” including analysis of issues, such as “gender, age, race, ethnicity, class, regionalism, nationalism and sexual identity as they affect women and men.” Recently, the WGS hosted its Women Rock the Runway, headed by Brenda Cooper dressed as Frida Kahlo, and emceed by Ted Pease dressed as Julia Child. The WGRI was formed in 1984 and, according its usu.edu page, aim to “foster research by women, to assist departments in recruiting and retaining women faculty and to encourage research on gender issues by USU STUDENT COLLEEN DARLEY performed with other members of the all-girl band Moxie during a celebration for the new Center for Women and Gender. The center combines the Women’s Center, Women and Gender Studies, and the Women and Gender Research Institute. CODY GOCHNOUR photo -See WOMEN, page 4
