About Us

The Women's Resource Center of Stevens Point, Wisconsin dedicates itself to educating and raising awareness on gender and women's issues.  We achieve this ongoing objective by sponsoring and facilitating programs and activities, providing relevant literature and working with an active group of devoted volunteers.

We have an extensive library containing books, magazines and information on a range of gender issues available to be checked out.  Our office provides a comfortable and relaxed center to gather information for classes, catch up on current developments in gender issues, or simply read for pleasure from our selection of fiction.  An online catalog of our library will be available soon!

The Women's Resource Center is funded annually through the Student Government Association and is staffed by students. 

Our Staff

 

Dana Smith Executive Coordinator	Dana Smith is a person. She has five fingers on each hand and five toes on each foot. Her hobbies include poetry, playing music, turning everyday conversations into musicals, and laughing. Born into a trinity of sisters Dana is a natural born feminist with strong beliefs in gender equity.  She is a fun loving person and always willing to lend an ear. “I really don't think life is about the I-could-have-beens. Life is only about the I-tried-to-do. I don't mind the failure but I can't imagine that I'd forgive myself if I didn't try.” --Nikki Giovanni "Our hearts so true, our courage will pull us through. You teach me and I'll teach you." --Pokeman dsmit454@uwsp.edu
Brittany Hoffman Volunteer Coordinator	Brittany Hoffman is an English major who is often very eccentric (exhibit A: the photograph to the left). She's not insane, per se, and is somewhat logical so don't be afraid to approach her--she too will listen to thy woes, and throw in her own two cents. Brittany divides her time between school and not-having-a-life in pleasantly calm Stevens Point, has a dog named Cashew, and loves to read and write...Hence the major. "The knack of flying is learning how to throw yourself at the ground, and miss." --Douglas Adams "FINISH HIM!" --Mortal Kombat bhoff770@uwsp.edu
Amanda Brown Outreach Coordinator	Amanda Brown is a Super Senior Art and Arts Management student. She loves empowering people whether it's at the summer camp she works at or at the WRC. Brownie, as she is sometimes called, also loves backpacking, biking, camping, poetry, music, cooking, reading books, hanging out, tubing, playing rugby and puppies! "There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it." --Edith Wharton "The important thing isn't the house. It's the ability to make it. You carry that in your brains and in your hands wherever you go...It's one thing to carry your life wherever you go. Another thing to always go looking for it somewhere else." --Barbara Kingsolver abrow718@uwsp.edu
