Women's Programs

Mission Statement

Women's Programs serves women and men students and community members through the Re-entry & Multicultural Resource Center.  We administer the Women's Studies Department and The Re-entry Program.  Women's Programs' courses, resources, and support services provide for women and men an understanding of gender socialization, encourage students to examine their own lives, and empower them to achieve educational and career goals.  The Re-entry & Multicultural Resource Center, located in the Social Science Building, Room 204, is open Monday-Friday.  All students are welcome to network, study, or eat their lunch in a comfortable, supportive environment.  Come on in!  The coffee pot is always in!
