The UNITAS Women’s Empowerment Group is a group composed of student-athletes, coaches, and administrators at Villanova University with a commitment to furthering gender equity in athletics. We celebrate women's accomplishments, promote initiatives led by women, and actively search for ways to dismantle gender norms and stereotypes in sports and communities beyond.
Our Objectives
- Empowering, celebrating, and unifying our women student-athletes.
- Educating the entire Villanova Athletics population (including coaches, administrators, as well as men and women athletes) on how to best serve, support, work with, and compete with the intersectional identities of our female student-athletes.
- Bring Villanova’s women student-athletes together in leading the charge to cultivate an environment that supports and empowers each of us, the way we deserve and need to be!
- Working to engage all student-athletes to be their own advocates
- Raise awareness around systems that are in place that adversely impact women
