Administrative History

The Oklahoma State University (OSU) Women’s Council grew out of a two day University sponsored women’s retreat held in Oklahoma City, OK on November 6 and 7, 1976. Following this gathering, task forces were created and an OSU Women’s Council Advisory Board was formed. The Women’s Council was officially recognized as an ongoing Advisory Council to the University President on October 4, 1977. The official by-laws were adopted and approved in January 1978. The purpose of the council is to study the needs and problems which are the result of the changing roles of women in society and in institutions of higher education and to make recommendations to the President which promote progress toward equality of opportunity for women and men in all segments of the University community.
