FOREWORD

The West Virginia University Council for Women’s Concerns was established in the fall of 1977 by the West Virginia University (WVU) Senate and charged with the task of gathering information, consulting with University and community groups and advising the President of WVU regarding areas of women’s concerns. Toward these goals the Council has engaged in a variety of activities concerning special problems and needs of women students, faculty and staff, including the establishment of an interdisciplinary Women’s Studies program, sponsorship of several conferences and workshops on topics of interest to women, proposals for improving the availability of quality day care on campus and in the community, and study of flexible scheduling possibilities to enable employees to adjust their work schedules to their family and child care needs.

Another major project of the Council for Women’s Concerns has been to gather and compile a listing of the resources available to women in the University and Morgantown community. This booklet represents the culmination of that effort. We would like to make the booklet available to every interested student, faculty, staff or community member. For additional copies or for suggestions regarding future editions, please contact the Chairperson, Council for Women’s Concerns, The President’s Office for Social Justice, PO Box 6202, Stewart Hall, Room B-1, Morgantown, WV 26506, (304) 293-5496. The Resource Guide also can be found on the Council’s website at http://www.as.wvu.edu/cwc/ .

The WVU Council for Women’s Concerns is composed of representatives from WVU faculty, staff, students and the local community. The Executive Officer for Social Justice, the Provost’s office designee, and the Director of the WVU Center for Women’s Studies serve as ex-officio members. New representatives are selected by the President of WVU from a slate of nominees submitted to him by the Council. If you would like further information about the Council or are interested in being nominated for the Council please contact the Chair of the Council at the above address and number.
