Women's Support
Women’s Resources and Support Services
The GSC recognizes the unique experiences and challenges that our woman and femme identifying students may go through. The GSC helps to connect students to the appropriate community resources in addition to our on-campus services.
Women’s Advocacy and support is deeply rooted in the foundation of the Gender and Sexuality Center. We are not limiting these resources to exclusively women, but we are acknowledging the historical disenfranchisement and needs for women’s rights and access to resources.
Resources at the GSC include:
- Baby Pantry
- Lactation Room
- Womxn’s Roundtable
- Ladies Nights and Social Mixers
- Educational Events
Baby Pantry
This donation-based pantry supports students with children. We accept baby items like clothing, diapers, toys, etc. All food donations will be sent to ESU’s Warrior Food Pantry. If you are in need of baby items, stop by the GSC and ask for the Baby pantry. Students are limited to taking three individually packaged items at a time.
Lactation Rooms on campus and Changing Stations
There is a lactation room in Kemp Library, on the third floor around the corner from the bathrooms.
Please contact Danielle Cavanaugh for more information on accessible changing stations in any bathroom on campus.
Womxn’s Round Table
We use womxn with the X to highlight the importance of intersectionality within the our student’s identity development and historical and current Womxn’s Movements.
The Womxn’s Round table is a space for womxn of all identities and backgrounds to meet and share ideas. We host guest speakers and discussions centered around womxn’s leadership and development.
