The success depends on the cooperation and participation of the entire BC community. Commitment The WRC is staffed by a graduate student coordinator and five undergraduate students. The students, deeply committed to the WRC, pride themselves in their efforts to reach out to peers in hopes of raising awareness of women's issues and providing opportunities to enter into dialogue with one another and the greater BC community. The primary function of the WRC is the exploration and promotion of women's issues through educational outreach. These programs are designed to address the emerging and current concerns of Boston College as well as the broader issues of our changing society.
Programs range from informal brown bag lunches to lectures featuring notable speakers.
Any students, staff, or faculty interested in pursuing dialogue relating to any women's isues or gender issues in general may contact the WRC to create or co-sponsor a program. The Center has a lending library with over 1700 columes by women and men on a wide range of subjects including career, health, literature, psychology and much more. Many of the books cannot be found in other BC libraries and may be useful for reference, paper writing or just general interest. For a complete listing of volumes found in the WRC library click here. The Center also keeps files containing articles and papers that pertain to women's issues.
