About me: The Center has space for meetings, study, programs and discussion, with an approximate capacity of 60-70. It serves as a resource and information clearinghouse and offers advocacy, support, and other services to women and men, regardless of age, race, ethnicity, religion, disability, sexual orientation, or socioeconomic status.
Interested in activism? You've come to the right place. At the Women's Center our goal is to get student's involved, and lucky for you feminism encompasses lots of different causes- from ending racial discrimination to saving the environment. So come check us out in the little blue house just East of the Valley Library on the OSU campus, we'd love to meet you.
