我们的历史
The initial interest in developing a Women's Studies program at Aquinas began in the 1980年秋天(Kozal, 1994). 当时，一小群女性——简·希巴德·艾德玛， Sister Yvonne Greiner, and Betty Jennings - recognized the need for broadening the 课程应包括与妇女有关的主题和关切. 在某种程度上， observations stemmed from their personal experiences with the Encore Program, which 是为返校的非传统女学生准备的吗.

Additionally, however, their ideas to develop courses in women's studies coincided with larger educational transformations that were occurring nationally in the United 各州对第二波妇女运动的反应. 的正式结构 妇女研究课程在全国范围内日益普及.

在十大赌博登录官网, the impact of such educational changes was reflected in a move to formalize 提供妇女研究课程的结构. 随后是女子比赛 Studies Cognate成立于1983年(Kozal, 1994)。. 它的创立涉及Sister 伊冯娜·格雷纳，南希·弗卢默菲尔特修女，还有.

Once the academic program was established it became important to designate a space where women could come at Aquinas to ask questions, receive guidance, and feel welcome. 妇女研究中心成立于1986年.

我们的名字
On November 3, 2000, the Jane Hibbard Idema Women's Studies Center was re-named in honor of Jane Hibbard Idema for her work with the Encore for Women Program at Aquinas, 哪些是为了满足返校妇女的需要而设计的. 简早期的兴趣 in helping women improve the condition of their lives led to her involvement with a small group of women at Aquinas who together established the Women's Studies Center in 1986.

2000年以后，在李博士的带领下. Susan Haworth-Hoeppner，中心带来 highly visible programming and nationally- and internationally-recognized 演讲者s to West Michigan, often in coordination with the West Michigan Women's Studies Council (WMWSC). 该系列讲座支持WMWSC的使命 “transforming the West Michigan Community through feminist ideals and practices” in order to “increase awareness of gender issues and to share ideas and work together 致力于改善西密歇根州妇女生活的社区项目.“最初的 Council included members from 十大赌博正规平台在线, Calvin College (now Calvin University), Davenport University, Grand Rapids Community College, Grand Valley State University, 和霍普学院，包括十大赌博正规平台在线的三位教员. 苏珊•Haworth-Hoeppener Dr. 米歇尔·德罗斯，以及作为档案保管人的米歇尔·德罗斯博士. 丽贝卡·库根.

Although the West Michigan Women’s Studies Council and the Nokomis Foundation are 虽然不再活跃，但他们积极的工作仍在继续. 女权主义讲座的想法 系列继续JHIWGSC编程.
