Mount Saint Mary University Overview

The Center for the Advancement of Women at Mount Saint Marys University is a hub for gender equity research, advocacy and leadership development. Our vision is to find solutions to persistent gender inequities and work with partners to eradicate them in our lifetime. Our work. As a leading researcher on issues of gender equity in California, the Center produces original research, contributes to the national conversation on gender equity, and promotes solutions to reach gender parity. Our goal is to eliminate obstacles women face in the workplace, their communities, in the media and beyond to m...ake a positive difference in the lives of women and girls in California and our nation. Our approach. Data is useless if it sits on a shelf. When put to use, it is an effective tool to educate and spur action. The Center will deepen Mount Saint Marys efforts toward gender equity through three main components: Research. The Center will continue to produce The Report on the Status of Women and Girls in California, now in its seventh year, as well as similar reports for cities, counties, corporations, womens commissions and community organizations throughout the state. Through these reports, we examine gender gaps across key sectors and industries, and also promote solutions. Advocacy. In addition to publishing cutting-edge data, the Center will produce policy briefs, evaluations and white papers to empower you to advocate on behalf of women and girls in your community. You can also book Dr. Archer to present a training for your group, to contribute articles, or book her as a speaker for your next event. Leadership. The University hosts three annual public events to equip women with the data and leadership development they need to become unstoppable leaders, and to empower and inform men to participate in eradicating gender equity together. Who we serve. The Center has a two-pronged approach to serve both individuals and organizations. For individuals, we host three events focused on training and leadership development: The Report on the Status of Women & Girls in California Ready To Run The Womens Leadership Conference For organizations, the Center develops additional focused research with Mount Saint Mary's faculty, as well as research in collaboration with corporate and nonprofit organizations, foundations and government agencies.
