Press for WRC

The Women's Resource Center has been getting some amazing press! Here are some snipets:

"After years working on an under-funded budget and with limited space, the UA Women's Resource Center is only a university search away from finally having a director to call its own. The Student Services Advisory Board approved funding the WRC $65,000 per year over two years to find a full-time director."

Here is the full article: "Board allocates $1.45M in Fees"

We have finally accomplished a great thing, and will now have funding for a full-time paid director for the next two years! For any questions about the directorship please call the WRC at 520-621-3919, or email Malia Uhatafe at maliau@email.arizona.edu.

There was also an article about the Take Back The Night event: "March against violence"

A big thank you to everyone who participated in the march and helped to prepare everything!

HIV Testing!!!

The Women's Resource Center in collaboration with Pima County Health Department, Campus Health, Student Health Advisory Committee, and Southern Arizona AIDS Foundation provided free HIV Testing on Campus today for the second time this school year!

The testing was an extreme success. 56 people were tested, and 20 were wait-listed. This is more than double the last testing.

The WRC was also featured in an article today in the Wildcat.

This was a huge success, and here is to hoping it continues on in the future!
