Commission on the Status of Women

About the Commission

The Commission on the Status of Women was created by the ASU President in 1991 to monitor the advancement of women in Arizona’s university in three major areas: equity, career development and climate. Since it’s inception, the Commission has sponsored and hosted many events and activities that have helped to increase the status of women at ASU.

Women's Connection: ASU's New Online Women's Resource Center

The ASU Commission on the Status of Women is pleased to announce the launch of Women's Connection: ASU's New Online Women's Resource Center. The goal of the Women’s Connection site is to help identify commonly asked questions a woman might have about her experience at ASU and help connect her with information and the appropriate resource.  On this site, you will find a wide range of information on everything from on-campus preschools and scholarships to important university policies and professional development programming.  Additionally, the site features a calendar of all upcoming events and announcements from ASU women’s groups, diversity organizations, and various administrative units.  An A-Z index provides quick links to resource information.  The site is for all ASU faculty, staff and students and there is something for everyone!
The site was developed and is operated by the Office for the ASU Commission on the Status of Women.
