Message from Anitra Cottledge, Women's Center Director
As we welcome another year and begin another semester, I am writing with a bittersweet message of goodbye — or as I like to say, "see you later." My last day as Director of the Women's Center will be Friday, February 2nd; after that, I will be joining the Headwaters Foundation for Justice as the Director of Programs.
The University of Minnesota has played a significant role in my personal and professional life: I've completed my graduate studies here and worked on two of the system campuses in multiple roles. The Women's Center has been a highlight (to say the least) of my time at the U of M, first as Assistant Director years ago and now as I wrap up my time as Director. I've been so privileged to do innovative and impactful work with an amazing group of colleagues, students and partners during my tenure. Deepest gratitude to all of the folks I've learned with and from over the years.
While I'm excited for my new role, it is no small feat to transition out of a community that I've been a part of for so long. As I wind down my time on campus, I'm working with Women's Center and Office for Equity and Diversity staff, as well as campus partners, to ensure the smoothest transition possible. I look forward to connecting with those that I can before my departure; either way, I remain local to the Twin Cities and able to continue connecting in the future.
In solidarity and care,
Anitra
