Center provides a place where women
can share with one another, learn in a
collaborative rather than competitive
fashion, and seek growth-promoting
experiences.
Men are encouraged to participate
in the center’s activities, to support
organizational goals, and to promote
among their peers recognition of
sexism, racism, and other forms of
discrimination against women.
Support and discussion groups are of-fered
on a variety of issues including,
but not limited to, current women’s
issues, single parents, body image, les-bian
support, and support for women
of color. Peer counseling and referral
services are available to women who
are coping with personal transitions,
crises, or any other life experiences
for which they need non-judgmental
guidance and support.
Involvement Opportunities
A number of student groups and
clubs operate from the Women’s
Resource Center, including Entre
Mujeres, P.O.W.E.R., United Student
Pride, and the Women’s Alliance. In-ternships,

Women’s Resource Center, Violence
Prevention Project, and the Central
Valley Cultural Heritage Institute
provide a supportive environment for
interaction and self-discovery through
a wide range of programs and
activities. Programs and services are
designed to enhance the learning and
working experiences of students, staff,
and faculty in the university commu-nity
with many events and workshops
opened to the general public.
Staff members seek to provide a haven
against the intolerance and negative
stereotyping that are abundant in
society and also to offer a place for
a diverse interchange of ideas and
experiences, which is the basis for a
positive academic setting.
These programs provide a variety of
intellectual, cultural, social, artistic,
recreational, and personal growth
activities. The activities celebrate the
multicultural composition of our
community and promote healthy
lifestyles and nonviolent relationships.
The Women’s Resource
Center
The WRC provides services to the full
spectrum of university women regard-less
of age, ethnicity, sexual identity,
or disability. The Women’s Resource
focus is to provide education, preven-tion
and intervention regarding sexual
assault, intimate partner violence
(domestic violence), and stalking to
all students, staff, and faculty. The
VPP has established a Campus and
Community Response Team (CCRT)
to improve the quality and coordina-tion
of services to victims of violence.
Crisis counselors are available 24
hours a day via 559.278.5696.
The Central Valley Cultural
Heritage Institute (CVCHI)
The CVCHI is dedicated to the
celebration and study of the cultural
heritage, diversity, and contributions
of the people of California’s Central
Valley. The center is also committed
to creating a more culturally com-petent
community and supporting a
safe environment that welcomes dif-ficult
dialogue on controversial issues.
The institute fosters a supportive en-vironment
for multicultural interac-tion,
increases students’ engagement
and sense of belonging, and brings
together academic course content and
co-curricular activities that contribute
to the retention of students. Involve-ment
of first generation students is
especially encouraged.
Many multicultural and diversity
activities are coordinated out of the
institute. Individuals interested in
working on issues related to race,
class, gender, age, sexual identity,
and/or religion are welcome to attend
one of the campus National Coalition
Building Center (NCBI) “Welcoming
Diversity” workshops that are offered
twice a semester. We are also seek-ing
volunteers who are interested in
working on various events through-out
the year.
Additional activities and services
co-sponsored by the Center include
the following: Stop the Hate Week,
Diversity Awareness Week, Building
Bridges/Tackling Fears Panel Series,
and other annual cultural celebra-tions.
