ISU Women's Resource Center - WRC

The history of Indiana State University is rich with the stories of women. From the beginning women have been intrinsic to the success and progress of the institution and played an important role. Many of these roles reflect the progress of women’s rights throughout the country. From suffrage to affirmative action, women have shaped ISU. It is impossible to curate every story and event in the history of women at ISU, but through extensive archival research their voices are now heard again. After being gone for over 20 years, the Women's Resource Center will make its grand debut in the Fall 2016. Our story is grounded in the women who have paved the way for all current women to be students, faculty, or staff here at State.

Our vision is for the Women's Resource Center to be recognized as a leader in supporting the inclusiveness of women across campus and within the community. The campus community will see us as a resource that promotes excellent programming, service and engagement.

Our goals are as follows: provide support, resources and advocacy for women of ISU;
provide tools and resources to enhance success of women students within academic, professional and personal pursuits; provide a safe and inclusive space for women of ISU; empower the women of ISU; provide programming to help build leadership skills and sexual assault awareness; recognize individual ISU women's achievements on our campus; and educate university stakeholders, policy makers, and campus community on intersectional issues that affect women.

There are numerous opportunities to get involved with the Women's Resource Center. We offer volunteer opportunities, graduate assistantships, and student employment.

Visit our official Indiana State University website to learn more about our programs, workshops, services, involvement, and more. We will continue to update our page for information regarding events, individuals making a difference in our communities, and ways for students, faculty, and staff to get involved.
