The Women's Resource Center expanded its services and resources in the fall of 2010 to include LGBT support, advocacy, and programming. To fulfill an objective in our university's diversity strategic plan, the Women's Resource Center moved to a more central location on campus and became the Center for Women, Gender & Sexuality.
Programming
The Center organizes LGBT History Month, National Coming Out Day, Transgender Awareness Week and an annual LGBT Youth Symposium for LGBT High School students and allies.
