The Campus Community Centers are Trading Spaces!
On Wednesday, April 1st the Women's Center, Cross-Cultural Center, and Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender (LGBT) Resource Center (together known as the Campus Community Centers) will be trading spaces!
 
The joint philosophy and mission statement of the Campus Community Centers grounds each Center in a shared belief that ending one oppression requires ending all oppressions.  To that end, the staff of the Women's Center will be at the LGBT Resource Center, the staff of the LGBT Resource Center will be at the Cross-Cultural Center, and the staff of the Cross-Cultural Center will be at the Women's Center.
