Women of Images

Women of Images is an organization that is determined to help women of color grow, uplift each other, and achieve success. These goals are achieved through the affirmation of the inherent beauty of all women of color as well as the education, leadership, and mentorship of first-year students. The Women of Images house and organization both strive to empower minority members of our campus and community, and we are unyielding in our determination to assert the validity of our culture and heritage. Through living in the house and/or being a member of the organization, women of color on campus are given the opportunity to interact, bond, and learn from many other minority students at the College of Wooster. One of our program house’s main purposes is to serve as a support system for the incoming and current women of color on campus. In this program, new members have the opportunity to learn from active members about the many adjustments needed in the transition from high school to college, as well as what it means to be a woman of color in America today. Our organization also serves to further cultural awareness on the college campus and in the Wooster community. First-year students will participate in assorted Women of Images traditions and events that serve to increase campus awareness of the contributions made to America by women of color. The mission of Women of Images is to provide a safe space for women of color as well as Women of Images members on campus, while simultaneously fostering a healthy learning environment about what it means to be a woman of color in America. In our efforts to accomplish our goals, we shall abide by the Code of Social Responsibility as stated in the Scot’s Key.
