Key Areas
The Women's and Gender Resource Center at Dickinson College presents opportunities for integrated learning in five key areas:
Education:
The Women's and Gender Resource Center Director serves in a hybrid faculty/administrative role and teaches courses in the Department of Women's, Gender and Sexuality Studies. The Center offers collaborative educational and co-curricular programming.
Networking:
As a campus-wide resource, the WGRC seeks to bring together students, faculty, and staff through programs, events, and educational opportunities to discuss something we all share: gender. The Office of Equity and Inclusivity, where the WGRC is located, serves as a hub for multiple offices and student organizations; it is a great place to access resources, build partnerships, socialize, and learn from one another in a vibrant and welcoming community.
Leadership:
The Women's and Gender Resource Center's Internship Program offers an opportunity for students to develop professional skills and core competencies as they engage in research, coordinate programming and events or provide other support for the work of the WGRC. If you are interested in an internship at the WGRC, please make an appointment with Katie Schweighofer to talk about your ideas. All internships will be part of the Internship Notation Program.
WGRC staff are also available to consult with any organization or campus unit interested in exploring gender issues or developing relevent programming.
Gender Equity:
As a unit in the Office of Equity and Inclusivity, the WGRC actively contributes to committee and policy work on diversity and inclusion, assessment, campus, gender equity, and gender-based violence.
Healthy Community:
The WGRC partners with the Office of Title IX and Sexual Respect and other campus and community groups to support survivors and others impacted by sexual violence and dating violence, and to work toward the elimination of violence against all people.
