Mission Statement

The mission of the Friends of Women's Studies is to support the University of Houston Women's Studies Program’s campus and community activities through financial and volunteer efforts. The central focus of the Friends is the Women's Archive and Research Center (WARC)--a unique collection of documents from active and historical Houston area women's organizations and individuals associated with these organizations, as well as Texas women's oral histories. Your Friends of Women's Studies donations and membership fee support the WARC and the Women's Studies Program.
