'''Founded in 2009'''
'''Current Board Members''': Jessica Torres '12, Bridget Ngcobo '12, Emelda Lagos '13, Ivory Goudy '13
'''Contact''': wcrc@wso.williams.edu, jat1@williams.edu
'''Meeting Time''': Thursdays at 7:30PM in Jenness House; monthly faculty lunches, last friday of every month.
'''Mission:''' As the Women of Color Resource Center we aim to raise awareness, encourage conversations and take action with regards to issues faced by women of minority groups. We hope to do this through accessible programming, and by encouraging the involvement of students, alumni, faculty and staff. We want to foster an empowering sense of solidarity among women of minority groups. As a student organization we specifically cater to the intersectionality between being a woman and being of minority status. Thus our hope is to create a safe space in which we openly explore our similarities and differences in order to draw strength from both our own experiences and those of others. As a group we also function as a support network committed to exploring and creating resources for women of minority groups. We aim to inspire action and awareness on the Williams College Campus and beyond it for issues faced by women of minority groups through our solidarity and the valued involvement of our allies.
*Currently thinking of rewording “women of minority groups†to “women of under represented ethnic groupsâ€. Women of minority groups, includes a wider group of women that may not necessarily share color as the point of commonality.
