MISSION

bullet

To provide an educational environment in which first generation college women of color can succeed

The Women's Cultural Resource Centers share a common goal to provide female students with an environment sensitive to cultural and political issues faced by women of color in society. Through these resource centers, education, dialogue and connection for women of different cultures is enhanced on our campus.

The Women's Cultural Resource Centers provide rich and challenging leadership opportunities for women exploring their ethnic and cultural identities, as well as women’s issues at work and the educational environment. Finally, the Women's Cultural Resource Centers provide the university an educationally based information center and role-modeling service for women of different cultures.
