Promoting Access

A vibrant, stimulating learning community is central to the mission and goals of the University of Georgia, and our work to uphold that ideal is continuous. To address contemporary issues faced by female students, faculty, and staff, the University developed this web portal and other resources to promote awareness and access to the wide range of services and programs available to women.

Women.uga.edu highlights women’s services, organizations, programs, and events across campus. It provides a hub for safety information, community support, and advocacy for women.

To further address and direct expressed issues and concerns related to women, the University has identified a central point of contact: Janice Davis Barham, associate dean of students and chair of the Women’s Resources Coordinating Committee.

Dr. Barham is supported in this role by campus partners Martha Davis, associate director for patient services at the University Health Center, and Karen Saunders, student ombudsperson in the Office of the Dean of Students.

Dr. Barham is available to meet or communicate directly with interested faculty, staff, and students. She can be reached at womenresource@uga.edu. Feel free to contact womenresource@uga.edu with any questions, issues, opportunities, events, or other ideas related to women’s resources.
