The Women's Resource
Center provides services
to enhance the learning
and working experiences of
women in the university community.
The center provides a
supportive environment for
interaction and self-discovery
through a wide range of campus
activities.
The center is inclusive of the full
spectrum of university women students,
staff, faculty and administrators.
Men are encouraged to
participate in the centerls activities,
to support organizational
goals, and to promote among
their peers recognition of sexism,
racism, and other forms of
discrimination against women.
The center is inclusive of all
women on campus regardless of
age, ethnicity, sexual preference,
and/or disability. The center's
staff members seek to provide a
haven against the intolerance and
negative stereotyping that are
abundant in society and also to
offer a place for a diverse interchange
of ideas and experiences,
which is the basis for a positive
academic setting.
The center provides a place
where women can share with one
another, learn in a collaborative
rather than competitive fashion,
and seek growth promoting
experiences.
Internships and volunteer
opportunities are available for
interested students. Course credits
are possible.
Support and discussion groups
are offered on a variety of issues
including, but not limited to,
current women!s issues, single
parents, body image, sexual abuse,
lesbian support, and support for
women of color.
Peer counseling and referral
services are available to women
who are coping with personal
transitions! crises, or any other
life experiences for which they
need non-judgmental guidance
and support.
Training is offered for individuals
who are interested in leading
support groups or providing peer
counseling to other students.
The center also offers joint
training with the local rape crisis
center for those interested in
becoming advocates for victims of
sexual assault.
Special projects that fit the
mission of the center are available.
Input from the university community
on special programs is
welcomed. The center provides a
variety of intellectual, cultural,
social, artistic! recreational and
personal growth activities for
women. The activities celebrate
the multicultural composition of
our community and promote
healthy lifestyles and nonviolent
relationships. In collaboration
with other campus women's
groups, the Women!s Resource

Women's Herstory Month and End
Violence Against Women Week.
