Gayle R. Davis Center for Women and Gender Equity

Participants raise hands in support at the girls of color summit

For nearly 25 years, the Gayle R. Davis Center for Women and Gender Equity (CWGE) has been supporting GVSU students in discovering their passions and developing the confidence and tools needed to pursue them. Our unique programming is designed to promote intersectional understanding, gender equity, and self-advocacy. These programs leverage diverse modalities - art, film, dialogue, and collaborative learning- to deepen students' knowledge and foster meaningful connections.

At the heart of our equity work is the Replenish Basic Needs program, which combats hunger and food insecurity—issues that disproportionately impact students of color, low-income students, and those with diverse gender identities. Whether it is a donation of canned goods or a monetary donation, your support is critical to the programs and services CWGE offers to the Laker community year round.
