Women's Center

In the Spring of 1984, a group of LSU New Orleans faculty and staff met to plan LSU New Orleans’s first Women’s History Week program. The success of this event led to a revival of LSU New Orleans Association for Women, an organization for students, faculty, and staff. As its first project, the Association sought to establish a campus women’s center. In March of 1985, LSU New Orleans Women’s Center opened under the guidance of the Association, and since January of 1986, the Center has had its own Director. The Association was also successful in completing its other major project—founding LSU New Orleans Children’s Center, an on-campus daycare center.

During exams, our hours may change, and we are closed during semester breaks.
