Women's Center

The Women’s Center, housed within the Counseling Center, provides support for the personal and academic success of women through advocacy and education. Women’s Center staff explores women’s issues including sexual harassment, treatment in the classroom, discrimination, and institutionalized sexism and motivates both men and women toward greater involvement in these issues.

The Sexual Assault Prevention Program was created to enhance student awareness and understanding of the factors that contribute to sexual assault, to assist students in examining their attitudes and beliefs about sexual assault, and to advocate for and support primary and secondary victims of sexual assault.

Crisis and long-term counseling for primary and secondary victims of sexual assault is available through this program.  Call 341-5221, for an appointment or come to 211 South Morse Hall.  Students can also receive counseling from the SOS Crisis Helpline, 342-1870 or the community mental health center.  Visit our website at: <http://www.emporia.edu/womenscenter>.
