The Alverno College Research Center on Women was established in April 1970 through the work of Sr. Austin Doherty, then Chair of the Psychology Department; Barbara Mulligan, Director of the Continuing Education Division (a precursor to today's Telesis); and Victoria Hinshaw, Political Science Instructor. The RCW began its functioning conceptually as three centers--a resource center on women, a research center about women and an outreach center for women. It is now known as the Research Center for Women and Girls. Other offshoots of the original RCW are the Feminist Education Advisory Committee or FEAG and the Women's and Gender Studies academic program.
