Brooklyn College »
The Brooklyn College Women's Center is the oldest college women's center in the U.S. By expanding the conventional direct services approach of traditional women's centers which focuses on solving immediate crisis through referrals and/or counseling, the Brooklyn College Women's Center is committed to adopting a wide-range of multi-dimensional needs-driven program activities that address the emotional, intellectual, physical and financial well-being of the whole person. Our challenge is to create, promote, and organize programs that raise awareness of women's issues and in return empower participants to live a life that will reduce victimization, encourage self-sufficiency and independence, and model the skills to help women organize and sustain an environment of self-awareness where they are better able to maintain a healthy life style and make choices that will positively impact their own futures.
College of Staten Island »
The College of Staten Island's Women's Center is dedicated to meeting the diverse needs of women students, to addressing gender-related issues, and to empowering women in order to strengthen the entire community. The Bertha Harris Women's Center is named in honor of Bertha Harris (1937-2005): feminist, novelist, and teacher at Richmond College from 1972-1977. The Women's Center provides a space on campus that fosters a network of support and communication among women, between women and men who share their concerns, and between students and faculty. We offer our webpage, with its message board, as a virtual gathering place to extend support to the Women's Center's community at times when students cannot be on campus. The message board is meant to be a sounding board for your voices, where you can discuss issues that affect your lives and suggest activities that the Bertha Harris Women's Center might sponsor.

LaGuardia Community College »
The Women's Center at LaGuardia Community College serves as a symbol for the College's commitment to inclusion and equal access for women faculty, staff, and students and as resource center for our community. Historically, the achievements of women have been unrecognized. Thanks to our "foremothers" who have fought relentlessly, LaGuardia Community students, have our own headquarters "The Women Center" to report to and congregate in. It is in here that ideas manifest so we can create events that will reach the minds and ears of our college students. As Women Center members, it is our goal to ignite awareness.
