Catherine Hopkins, director of the Women’s Center on campus, has resigned.
Hopkins will become executive director for the Capital Area Family Violence Intervention Center/Battered Women’s Program, according to a University Relations news release.
During her tenure at the University, Hopkins worked to enhance leadership opportunities for women on campus, said Vice Provost for Equity, Diversity and Community Outreach Katrice Albert in the release.
“We appreciate the leadership that Catherine provided to the LSU Women’s Center,” she said.
The Office of Equity, Diversity and Community Outreach plans to conduct a national search for Hopkins’ replacement over the summer.
According to the release, a new director will be named in August, just in time for the center to move to its new location at the bottom level of the parking garage currently being constructed on Highland Road.
“With excitement, we are looking forward to the ribbon cutting ceremony and moving into the newly constructed LSU Women’s Center in the fall semester,”Albert said.
