Our Mission
The purpose of the Women's Resource Center (WRC) is to promote educational access
and equity for all women, to provide an alternative and complement
to existing services and facilities, and to further the collective
and individual goals of women regardless of race, national
origin, ethnicity, color, age, physical ability, sexual orientation,
religious or political beliefs, social or economic status,
