Women's Resources Center
The Women's Resources Center (WRC) is a designated confidential resource related to sexual assault/rape, sexual harassment, stalking and abuse within a relationship (sometimes called dating or domestic violence). That means when we talk with students, staff, and faculty who have experienced harm, we make sure you get what you need and on your terms! There are several Confidential Advisors at the WRC who can provide you — or someone looking to support you — with support and advocacy services. Services are free and available to all eligible persons regardless of gender, race, color or national origin.
- WRC Confidential Advisors are embedded at La Casa every Monday from 2:00-4:00pm.
