Harriet L. Miller Women’s Center
The Harriet L. Miller Women’s Center, named for the first woman to serve on United’s faculty, was established to facilitate the partnership of women and men in a community of faith.
The Center has as its objective both the present support of women in ministry and the actualization of a theological community in which the leadership of women and the leadership of men will be perceived as a community of partnership.
Through the varied dimensions of the Center, women receive support and resources to strengthen their identity and relationships as students, professionals in ministry, family members, friends and colleagues.
The Center sponsors programs and projects that integrate the history, scholarship, leadership and ministries of women into the seminary curriculum and supports retreats, workshops and womanist / feminist / mujerista theological dialogue for women faculty and staff, ordained and lay women in the Church, denominational organizations and other church groups.
The Center also assists men in developing their capacity to recognize the presence and participation of women in seminary and clergy communities and in the Church.
A Harriet L. Miller scholarship is awarded annually. Interested students should see the current United scholarship booklet for details.
