]]> Why should I visit the Women’s Center?  https://students.brooklyn.edu/knowledge-base/why-should-i-visit-the-womens-center/ Thu, 26 Jun 2025 01:42:04 +0000 https://students.brooklyn.edu/?post_type=ht_kb&p=15478 The Brooklyn College Women’s Center is a great place for students to find support, connect with others, and get the resources they need. Here’s why you should check it out:

  • Daily Drop-In: Need a break between classes or just want a place to relax? The center has the Returning Women’s Café, a cozy lounge where you can hang out, along with the Alice Miller Computer Lounge if you need to use a computer. Plus, there’s always free coffee and tea during office hours.
  • Crisis Intervention: Life can throw curveballs, and the center offers crisis intervention services if you’re dealing with tough situations, whether it’s related to academics or something else. They’re here to help and support you.
  • Clubs & Organizations:
    • The Exchange is a club that brings students together for open conversations, support, and community-building. They hold Potlucks every month, so it’s a great way to meet new people over food!
    • The Women’s History Month Committee celebrates the achievements of women past and present, with fun events every March to recognize the women who’ve shaped our world.
  • Resources & Referrals:
    The center also connects you with important on-campus resources like Academic Advisement, Career Development, Scholarships, and Personal Counseling. They provide referrals to off-campus support like the Anti-Violence Project, New York City Domestic Violence Hotline, and more.

No matter what you’re dealing with, the Women’s Center is a safe space where you can find help, build connections, and grow!

]]> What is the Women’s Center?  https://students.brooklyn.edu/knowledge-base/what-is-the-womens-center/ Thu, 26 Jun 2025 01:39:24 +0000 https://students.brooklyn.edu/?post_type=ht_kb&p=15474 The Brooklyn College Women’s Center is one of the oldest college women’s centers in the United States.

The Brooklyn College Women’s Center goes beyond the usual services that most women’s centers offer, like counseling or help during a crisis. Instead, it provides a variety of programs that support all parts of a person’s life — including their emotions, mind, body, and finances. The goal is to help students in a more complete and long-lasting way.

Our goal is to create and share programs that help people understand important issues affecting women. These programs are designed to empower participants to live safer, more independent lives. We want to teach useful skills that help women build confidence, take care of themselves, and make healthy choices that lead to a better future.
