This collection contains the records of the North Carolina State University Women's Center. The records include flyers, pamphlets, announcements, memoranda, news clippings, scrapbooks, slides, CD-ROMs, floppy disks, and artifacts that document the activities of the center and its programs from 1965 to 2019. Topics include the signature programs of the Women's Center such as the Chocolate Festivals, productions of The Vagina Monologues, Take Back the Night marches and rallies, Alternative Service Breaks, and the Sisterhood Dinners Some documents pre-date the founding of the Center in 1991. These include materials on meetings, councils, and polls that led up to the creation of the Center.
The North Carolina State University Women's Center was founded in 1991 in order to provide services to the women students, faculty and staff on campus. The Center's mission is to celebrate women through support, empowerment, education, and leadership development and to challenge and motivate both women and men to achieve inclusivity and gender equity. It achieves this by offering signature annual programs such as the Chocolate Festival, the production of the Vagina Monologues, Take Back the Night march and rally, Alternative Service Break, and the Sisterhood Dinner. Other services include maintaining a sexual assault helpline and a system of advocates available to those in need.
In 1989, then Assistant Director of Student Development Evelyn Reiman and others formed the Women's Resource Coalition. The Coalition published a newsletter and sponsored events. In 1991, Heloise Jones (president of the Women's Resource Coalition) lobbied Provost Franklin Hart to establish a Women's Center. In October of that year, the Women's Center opened its doors in the basement of Nelson Hall. It is now in Talley Student Center.
The NC State Women’s Center is one of four Campus Community Centers (along with the GLBT Center, Multicultural Student Affairs, and the African American Cultural Center) housed under the Office of Institutional Equity and Diversity (OIED). It was formerly under the Division of Student Affairs.
