Information & Support Services
The University is a big and, sometimes, impersonal place, especially if you're trying to find someone who can help you with a specific question, issue or problem. The WRRC can help. We are a confidential unit and pride ourselves on providing friendly, personalized help to students, staff or faculty who want our assistance. Our bulletin boards and pamphlet racks are filled with useful information. You can come in and browse on your own or talk with one of our staff. Wondering "how to help a friend"? Check out our downloadable resources. Need a referral for help with sex discrimination, an eating disorder, divorce or custody, a health concern, volunteer and internship opportunities, domestic violence, women's organizations, emergency aid? Call or drop by, we're here for you!
