Welcome to the
Women and Gender Resource Center
The Women and Gender Resource Center (WGRC) is a physical space in the D.P. Culp Student Center that acts as both a safe space and source of connection with a multitude of community resources. While the WGRC is focused on serving ETSU faculty, staff, and students, we aim to serve the larger Tri-Cities community as well.
ALL are welcome in our space, regardless of gender identity! The WGRC serves people of all genders, with an overall goal of uplifting cis and trans women, girls, nonbinary and femme individuals. We work towards this goal through our campus and community organization partnerships, which allow the Center to provide resource referrals both on and off campus. We also offer a physical space and Center location in room 215 of the Culp Student Center, where anyone is welcome to stop in and rest, work on homework, study, or even just chat in a calm and peaceful environment!
