Welcome to The Blogsphere

Hello!

This blog is for the Center for Women and Families at Southern Utah University, located in Cedar City, Utah. There's so much the we do here at the Center, we need a platform to talk about everything we offer. It's so exciting to be part of such a wonderful and positive space.

You might be asking yourself, "What is the Center for Women and Families? What do you do? Why should I care?" We are a student support center, located in the Sharwan Smith Center, room 175.  We are sort of a catch all for the nontraditional and women's community at Southern Utah University and Cedar City. In the simplest terms, we are here for the students to help them in any way we can't. If we cannot, we will move Heave and Earth to see to it that we find someone that can.  Without reinventing the wheel, here is the blurb located on our academic website
