Women Students 40 and Over at UTDallas
We want to know about you and we want you to know about us. How can we outreach and support women on our campus who are 40 and older, whether they be returning to school or starting anew?
Being in college at 40+ can be challenging. Sometimes small issues become bigger problems because we don’t know who to ask for help. Most of us can relate to the challenges of balancing home, work and school. Wouldn’t you like to know about a welcoming place on campus where women help other women, whether it be finding a peer to study with or sharing ideas about where your life will take you next?
The Women’s Center is a comfortable and nurturing haven located on the lower level mezzanine of McDermott Library just inside the front doors.
If you are interested in giving and getting support, we’d love to hear from you. Please email us back with your answers/suggestions/comments or drop by and see us.
