The Human Resources Women's Center opened its doors in 1973 as one of the first university women's centers in the Southwest.

 

 

Described by her colleagues as a woman of vision, Emmie V. Baine (1916-1999) never hesitated to challenge the status quo, first as the Dean of Women and then as University Coordinator for Women at °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²ÊÔ¤²â.
