Lore-El Center
The Lore-El Center is both a residential living and learning community for women leaders and a campus-wide initiative that promotes empowerment and leadership through programs, events, and experiences.
The Lore-El Center Living and Learning Community is located in a beautiful, Victorian-style home in close proximity to the Stevens campus. A small group of women committed to leadership apply and are selected to reside in the house each year.
Mission: to increase awareness of issues related to gender and empower Stevens students as leaders in creating a supportive and inclusive campus environment.
A History of Supporting Women
Since becoming co-ed in 1971, Stevens has worked hard over the past five decades to make sure women who are interested in STEM careers can come to Castle Point and reach their full potential. Since 1999, the Lore-El Center has been home to that effort in more ways than one.
About Lore E. Feiler
Lore-El Center is named after Lore E. Feiler, an entrepreneur industrialist who audited courses at Stevens during the 1940s. Feiler later became a generous donor to Stevens and her gifts have helped Stevens attract and encourage female students.
Programs and Events
Lore-El serves as a hub for community events, meetings and professional development opportunities. Some examples of Lore-El sponsored programs include the annual Leadership Conference and Trailblazer speaker, the Week of Women, the Lore-El Lunch & Learn series, and a variety of service opportunities.
Engagement
The Lore-El Center is benefitting from major renovations. To keep this valuable center flourishing while contributing to Stevens’ vibrant campus, additional capital improvements are needed. Engagement with Lore-El will further interpersonal, social, and professional development through annual programs and initiatives. It will also connect students, faculty, staff, alums, and friends of Stevens who share a common passion for women’s empowerment and success. Additionally, it will provide opportunities for the Stevens community to engage in dialogue on gender-related issues in safe and comfortable spaces; support students, faculty, and staff in navigating the university environment and professional opportunities; and promote successful careers for undergraduate women.
