Mission
The original mission of FACE reads as follows:
FACE strives to create an active and empowered community of feminists on the Whitman College Campus via educational, activist, and social activities. We challenge and question the roles of women and men in society and celebrate individuality in all our actions, words, and thoughts.
In addition, FACE has recently affiliated with the Feminist Majority Foundation [FMF], thus furthering our goals to include the following:
1. To establish a broad constituency to work in pursuit of feminist ideals -- social, political, and economic equality for women and men, girls and boys.
2. To study and take action on national, campus and local feminist issues and concerns.
3. To provide leadership and career building opportunities for feminist students.
4. To educate the college/university community about feminist ideals.
