Women's Resource Center

The Women's Resource Center was established and is directed by the EIU Women's Studies Program. The center is open to all Eastern Illinois University Students and is located in the basement of Stevenson Hall.

The Women's Resource Center, or WRC, provides an informal setting for students, faculty, staff, and community members to gather and discuss all topics related to gender, sexuality, and systems of power and privilege.

Welcome to the Women's Studies Program

The Women's Studies Program is a University-appointed body of faculty, staff, and students. The Program's primary focus is the educational concerns and needs of women at EIU and in the community.

The purpose of the Women's Studies Program is to promote an understanding of how issues related to gender, age, race, economic status, sexual identity, and nationality affect women's lives and the communities in which they live. In order to promote an equitable and sensitive environment for all persons, the Council also responds to issues affecting women on campus and in the community.
