Greenfield Community College

Welcome to the Women's Resource Center

"The WRC is a place where women can meet each other, study, eat and develop a sense of community and belonging. It's our place."

All GCC women—students, staff and faculty—are invited to visit the WRC in East 114. You may take part in non-credit workshops, browse the free clothing exchange & food pantry, or access information through our resource advocate, Rosemarie Freeland.

Over the years Greenfield Community College has had several federally funded certificate programs designed to promote women's entry into the workforce. These monies are no longer allocated particularly for women. During that time, however, a Women's Resource Center did get started.

It was a tiny space in a quiet corner of the College, nurtured by the Women's Studies faculty and a few women students with Federal Work Study (FWS) grants. It was used for studying and meeting other women, but there were always problems. The space was just too small and there was no money to support it.

When the new East Building opened, there was room for a much larger Women's Resource Center (WRC). Now, the Mary Stuart Rogers Foundation funding has turned the WRC has become the centerpiece of WIT. It is in a high traffic/high visibility location in a much bigger space.
