Background
The Campus Advisory Committee on the Status of Womxn (CACSW) at UC Santa Cruz was formed in Spring 2021 as an outgrowth of research, planning, and advocacy conducted by womxn and womxn-identified campus leaders who had attended and graduated from the Systemwide UC Women’s Initiative for Professional Development. The committee is comprised of staff, faculty, postdocs, researchers, and students from across campus. The committee co-chairs represent our campus at the Systemwide Advisory Committee on the Status of Women (SACSW).
