Welcome to the Women’s Resource Center!! You've probably walked by our building and seen flyers for our events - but may not know what we're all about. We're located in the big red house at the corner of Lincoln Highway and Normal Road, across the street from the Psychology and Computer Building and right next to the Center for Black Studies. And even though we love our cool digs, we're so much more than just our building!
We've got great people. If you haven't met our friendly, amazing, talented, and smart staff, you need to stop in. Our staff alone is worth the visit. We can help you find what you need - whether it's on campus or community resources. We also happen to have some pretty great books in our resource library. Stop in and browse, or use the computers in the library to get that paper done that you've been putting off (you can pop out to vent frustrations or to take a break and say hi at any point). Or just stop in to say hi and take a load off between classes to enjoy some satellite TV on our big screen. In other words, you don't even really need a reason to stop in - we love groupies.
We do important work for women on campus - including our commitment to making the campus community safer for women, serving as advocates for women with concerns on campus, raising awareness of how gender affects everyone's lives, and getting women the resources they need to be successful.
You can do lots of things here - like register to vote, store your lunch in our fridge, grab a cup of hot chocolate in our kitchen, watch for the bus from our front entryway, make friends, hold a study group or student group meeting, use one of our spaces for a lactation area, or come to meet new people and share common interests.
Looking to be more than a Center groupie? We have lots of ways you can get involved - including volunteer positions, credit and non-credit internship opportunities, helping us create cutting edge programs and events for students, bringing in nationally known guest speakers, and working to make the campus climate better for women - whatever that means for you.
We don't know it all - We’d love to hear your ideas and suggestions for improving our facilities, services, and programs. To learn more - yes, we'll say it again - stop in!
We’re excited to meet you.
