Welcome to the Center for Women and Gender Equality!
The Verna B. Coleman Center for Equality at the University of Tennessee at Martin provides a supportive environment for students, faculty, and staff to engage in dialogue, develop skills, and pursue personal and professional growth. Committed to fostering a culture of positivity, safety, and empowerment through leadership and community engagement, the Center offers educational programming, promotes meaningful campus connections, and strengthens ties between the university and the broader community. It provides a safe and welcoming space where all students feel a strong sense of belonging, are well-informed about campus resources, and gain the confidence and self-advocacy skills essential for success beyond the university.
We welcome and encourage all students to attend our programs, volunteer, study, or simply stop by and connect with the Center!
