Background

Scope and content:

The materials consist of printed materials and ephemera documenting activities of the Women's Community Center.

Biographical / historical:

The Women's Community Center is a university department within the Centers for Equity, Community, and Leadership in the Division of Student Affairs. It began as the Women's Collective in the 1970s. In the 1980s, they appealed to the university for a half-time graduate student coordinator position to assist the group with providing programs and services to the greater campus community. They were successful in this appeal, and, in 1991, the group was allocated space in the Old Fire Truck House, where it was re-named the Women's Center. Through effective lobbying efforts, supported by students and constituents from the ethnic based cultural centers on campus, in 1999 the center received additional funding which allowed for the creation of a full-time director position as well as the addition of seven paid student staff members. The original student organization, the Women's Collective, has evolved over the years in its function and mission, and is now known as the Womxn's Coalition.
