Women’s Resource Center

Faculty Opportunities on Campus

We welcome a variety of faculty engagement from placing students at the WRC for academic practicums to co-hosting events that would be beneficial to our students. Please email us at wrc@pdx.edu if you have an interest in collaborating with us.

The Women’s Resource center has worked with faculty in a number of different disciplines and departments. We are interested in co-sponsoring events, having guest lectures, or supporting your students in bringing events and programs to our space. 

Feminist Leadership Opportunities

At the WRC, we work hard to support the development of our world's next feminist leaders. The WRC offers many ways to engage meaningfully with feminist leadership.

Some themes of our leadership opportunities include mentorship, feminists of color, reproductive justice, body politics, peer student support and community stewardship.

Some benefits of participating in leadership at the WRC:

• professional and academic success support

• increased emotional intelligence and collaboration opportunities

• relationship and community-building

• development of specific skill in customer service, project development, event planning, and goal setting

• intersectional feminist identity development

• deeper engagement with social justice issues through a feminist lens

• practical applications for academic learning

The WRC lounge is offered to students as a space to study, to gather, to commune, and to relax. 

We offer tables and couches, a kitchenette with a microwave, tea and coffee, and ambient music. The WRC provides complimentary menstrual supplies. We are a family friendly and lactation friendly space. We offer coloring supplies and toys for children to stay entertained.

If you are interested in hosting an event in our lounge space, please see details at our website.
