Women's Resource Center opens

By Betsey Norgard

The newly-opened Women's Resource Center (WRC) on the second floor of Sverdrup Hall may still await more paint, cleaning and furnishings, but already it has begun to serve as a meeting place and campus-wide information center on women's issues.

The center was inspired by the Luann Dummer Center at the University of St. Thomas and hopes to serve as the same kind of resource for the campus and city, explained Jacqueline deVries, assistant professor of history and coordinator of women's studies at Augsburg.

The center will sponsor programming that promotes all aspects of women's development and well-being. Immediate goals include improvement to the physical space, greater publicity of events and establishment of a reading group in the fall. In the longer term, the center hopes to hire a part-time director, develop a women's studies conference and lectureship, and co-sponsor events of interest to faculty, staff, students, alumni and friends.

For additional information about the Women's Resource Center, contact Jacqueline deVries by phone at (612) 330-1193, or by e-mail at devries@augsburg.edu.
