Resources for Women

Besides the resources for engineering women described in the previous section, the University runs the Cornell Women's Resource Center (http://wrc.dos.cornell.edu/) in Willard Straight Hall. They run seminars and have a lending library to educate the Cornell community about women's issues and promote awareness and activism. They can also help you find out about or get involved with resources and programs for women around Cornell and Ithaca.

One example of a useful women's resource that Cornell supports are the new lactation rooms for nursing or pumping. One such room exists in basement of Baker Laboratory, and five more are being created around campus, including on the Engineering Quad. You can find out more about this another ask about other resources by contacting the Women's Resource Center, or signing up for their listserv to get regular announcements of their activities.
