Mission
The Women’s Center Coalition (WCC) is a Rutgers University student-run organization with a focus on social activism and community building. We are comprised of undergraduate students whose collective mission is to raise awareness of a wide variety of issues including sexism, racism, LGBTQ, ecological issues, social justice concerns, cultural awareness and respect, and human rights. Our coalition supports and encourages individuals to critically examine social life and justice on domestic, local, university, workplace and global fronts.
A unique and valuable aspect of our organization is the Women’s Center, located in the Douglass Student Center. It is a private, safe space for individuals and groups to organize and participate in a wide variety of events. It is also home to our expanding library of books, which are available for students on an honor borrowing system.

Goal
A Distinct Identity
Our primary goals include maintaining a resource center offering information about the wide variety of social activism organizations in the Rutgers community as well as on the national and global level. We work to create and maintain a coalition of student run organizations that offer current events discussion groups, educational activities, and community building activities.
We aim to be a vital information source and clearinghouse for Rutgers social activism groups of all types. We hope to build upon the inclusivity at Rutgers experience. We encourage individuals that are new to Rutgers as well as existing students, to explore a variety of social issues and their impacts, to find ideas and projects that they can be passionate about, and to build rich and lasting relationships within the Rutgers community.
