Women's History Timeline

The staff and volunteers at the Women’s Resource Center (WRC) are dedicated to supporting the educational mission of Bloomsburg University through the implementation of programs and activities that focus on improving the status of women on this college campus.

We are also deeply committed to partnering with campus and community members to address issues of equity, inclusion, and social justice.

Take Back the Night Educational programs are coordinated with other campus areas and off campus agencies to enhance awareness of gender issues, address the needs of the female population and promote equity, advancement and empowerment of all women on campus.

Some of the services and activities include:

  • leadership development (in coordination with other BU programs)
  • support/mentor groups
  • educational seminars and presentations
  • advocacy, and networking

The WRC also functions as a "clearinghouse" of information and resources and a referral service to university and community resources that meet the needs of women and other BU community members on campus.

These services are provided in a manner that reflects a commitment to equity, mutual respect, diversity, and sensitivity to others. We strive to provide a space that is welcoming to all members of the BU community.
