Welcome to the Women's Resource Center (WRC) webpage. The WRC provides a resource space on campus to the students of Swarthmore College. The WRC is located just behind the Faulkner Tennis courts. It is the building just to the right connected to Olde Club.
Currently, this year's WRC board members are working on revamping the WRC to better suit the needs of the student body. It is our pursuit to improve our usefulness on campus as a resource center for students wanting to learn more about the issues that concern women.
We plan on carrying on the tradition of hosting coffee houses, bringing speakers to campus, and also organizing the Women's Retreat during spring break.
