Discussion List for campus-based and allied personnel working to end gender-based violence on campus.

Hi, all!

About a month ago, I sent a request to the list about resources for
adult women learners on your campuses. Here is the compilation of the
information that I received. The contact information is at the top of
the blurb.

The WRC at Portland State University has the Returning Women Students
Program which connects women to peer mentors, hosts coffee hours,
workshops, and one on one support.  -aimee

I know at the University of Kansas, that the Emily Taylor Women's
Resource Center and Non-Traditional Student Services have worked from
time to time jointly on projects.  During the past fall, our offices
co-sponsored "The Balancing Act: Balancing Children and Classes as a
Parent-Student."  This program enabled single-parents, mainly women, who
had an opportunity to know how to go about balancing those
responsibilities.  We had a panel of student parents who used area child
care services (on-campus as well as off), which gave student-parents in
the audience fresh perspectives.

Although we don't really do anything specifically for non-tradtional
women, I do advise the non-traditional student organization on our
campus, OASIS (Organization of Adult Students for Interaction and
Support), which has a student-parent subcommittee that formerly was a
separate student organization (the Student Parent Association) that
worked closely and shared an office in our Student Organization Center
with OASIS.   Since the majority of non-traditional students, including
single parents and student-parents are women, we do work with many
non-traditional women through these organizations. We have links on our
Web site to resources and services of particular interest to
non-traditional students at
www.student.services.wiu.edu/wc/organization/index.asp and OASIS has a
Web site at www.wiu.edu/users/mioasis/

We host a nontraditional student program in our Women's Center.  It's
currently run by a GA with three student employees, but we hope for a
professional staff position.

Here's a link to their website:

Let me know how I can be helpful,
Deirdre
