The Women's Resource Center...encouraging, supporting, and advocating for the personal, academic, and professional advancement of all women.
In an effort to assist women in reaching their full potential, the Women's Resource Center is committed to recognizing and celebrating the diverse representations of women, offering advocacy and referral services, and providing information, resources and educational programming.
WHY A WOMEN'S CENTER?
A women's center is necessary to provide a safe space for women to go on campus; a space where they feel welcomed and at peace. WE are a place where women can be seen, heard, and believed.
Women have unique experiences that are often ignored by our male-dominated society. So often in our society and in our world, women do not have a safe place to go where their thoughts, opinions, and feelings are respected and valued. Here at EMU, WE are that place.
Although we are a women's center, we provide a platform for creativity, discovery, and growth for all people. Men are not and will never be excluded from our activities, opportunities, resources, or services.
The problems that women face on a daily basis such as gender-based violence and discrimination are not just women's problems: they are part of a larger problem on a societal level. These problems harm men as well as women. Women and men need to work together as equal partners to eradicate these issues and move toward a society based on mutual respect and understanding. WE hope to start, support, and sustain that process.
