WHAT IS WICCD?
WICCD (Women Invigorating Curriculum and Cultivating Diversity) honors the diversity that exists in Maine by educating our campus and larger community about local, national, and international issues, initiatives, and ideas related to diversity. Because women have been historically underrepresented in social, cultural, political, institutional, and economic spheres, WICCD centers women, gender, and sexuality while working to challenge injustices and inequalities of all kinds. Led by faculty and staff who work toward gender equality and social justice, the WICCD committee provides opportunities for education and engagement to raise awareness around these important intersectional social challenges.
