Ten years have passed since a vision became a reality - a reality marnc:1sfsnac1ed'·.
the learning and lives of students, engaged faculty and staff, and
in the community.
As the Grand Valley State University Women's
Center celebrates its first decade, we pause to
reflect on our roots and envision our future. We
have been guided by a clear mission to create
meaningful learning about women and gender
and to advocate for gender justice through the
education, engagement, and empowerment of
women students and the greater Grand Valley
community.
Our many partners across the campus and
in the community have helped us create a
foundation built on collaboration, education
advocacy, and activism. We have come a long
way. We began in an office in the Dean of
Students suite and have since moved into our
third home - a warm and highly functional
location in the hub of student activity in the
Kirkhof Center on the Allendale Campus.
From its inception, the Women's Center's efforts
have been aimed at partnering with diverse
students to shape not only their own lives, but
the world in which they live. In our work, we
have the privilege of journeying with them in
varied ways -

partnership, often in awe of how much we learn
from them.
In addition to students. numerous faculty,
staff, and community members have nurtured
and supported the growth of the center. Their
generosity of time and talent has resulted in
more creative, effective. and engaging programs
and services.
This l 0-year anniversary report is a reflection
on our constant becoming through the voices
of people whose lives have been influenced
by our collective work. It is also an opportunity
to say thank you to all those who have played
a vital role in our success.
Together, we have accomplished much since
the Women's Center opened - and this report
gives us a chance to tell our story.

the world. Our hope is to create a safe environment for expression, participation, and growth.
The work of the Women's Center is an outward
demonstration of our values. In all aspects our daily administrative work, programming, and
services - we strive to put these values into
practice and make them visible. We value:

�SERVICE, ADVOCACY,
AND ACTIVISM
Students engage with the Women's Center in many ways, including developing leadership
skills, utilizing theatre as social justice activism, educating their peers on sexual assault,
and participating in service learning both on-campus and in the community. The impact
of their involvement is felt in countless ways and is nearly impossible to quantify. Here's
a glimpse of their activism and advocacy throughout the last 10 years:
"Being an ambassador for
the Women's Center has
allowed me to take what
I've learned in the classroom
and turn it into action . This
experience has shown me
the importance of civic
engagement, and given me
the opportunity to empower
others to create socia I
change and get involved
in their communities. "
- Stephanie Kopl'i11ce.

Leadership
Advocacy
Sixty-five students have developed feminist
leadership skills through the Ambassador
Program which started in 2003.
More than 1,700 students have attended
Take Back the Night marches, an annual event
sponsored by Eyes Wide Open since 2002.
The Ambassador Program provides opportunities
to examine feminist leadership principles through
a social change perspective. Ambassadors are the
voices of the Women's Center, educating their
peers about the resources and opportunities
available through the Women's Center.
Eyes Wide Open , a sexual assault peer
education group, educates and provides
awareness about sexual assault. As a registered
student organization, Eyes Wide Open strives
to create a culture of consent by providing
sexual assault peer education presentations
to classrooms, residence halls, and to other
groups on campus . In their efforts to end sexual
violence, Eyes Wide Open organizes annual
events such as the Clothesline Project and
participates in the Silent Witness Program.
Volunteerism
More than 1,550 students have participated
in the Women's Issues Volunteer Corps {WIVC)
since 2003.
While making a difference in the lives of
women and girls, students engage in volunteer
and service learning opportunities both on
campus and in the community. Partnering
with more than 15 off-campus agencies,
such as the Center for Women .in Transition,
YWCA of West Center Michigan , and Girl
Scouts of Michigan Shore to Shore, WIVC
members are able to apply principles learned
in the classroom to hands-on action in
the community.
Activism
More than $100,000 has been raised through
benefit performances of The Vagina Monologues
for local and international organizations that
support women and girls.
A valued tradition of the Women's Center, we
have enjoyed 10 years of producing The Vagina
Monologues. As activist theatre, The Vagina
Monologues allowed us to create a dialogue
�a.round the important issues of sexuality and
violence against women. As we enter our second
decade, we a.re exci.ted to present the play That
Takes Ovaries: Bold Women, Brazen Acts in
February 2012. By embracing diverse voices
and including stories written by our community
of students, and faculty and staff members
That Takes Ovaries expands the dialogue at
Grand Valley.
Awareness
Students have just begun participation in a new
anti-violence, peer education theater troupe
called ReACT!
Members of Eyes Wide Open student organization,
a sexual assault peer education group, are pictured.
Tl1rough a Department of Justice Violence
Against Women Act (VAWA) grant, ReACT!
utilizes theatre as social change activism. This
peer education troupe uses interactive theatre
methods, performed by student actors, to bring
awareness to dating and domestic v.iolence,
sexual assault, and stalking. Highlighting sexual
violence in a variety of relationships, students
identify the intersections of sexual orientation,
grapple with consent, and identify resources
both on-campus and in the community to
support victim survivors.
" I am thankful for the four
years I have been involved
with the Women's Center and
the amazing relationships
that have been created. The
staff members have inspired
me to aIways do more, never
give up when times are
overwhelming, reach out to
others with love and passion ,
and empower people through
my actions and words."

��INSEPARABLE ELEMENTS
OF A WHOLE
WOMEN AND GENDER STUDIES AND THE WOMEN'S CENTER
A central vision of the National Women's
Studies Association is "Scholarship, activism,
and teaching are inseparable elements of a
single whole" and that statement captures the
relationship of Grand VaHey Women's Center and
the women and gender studies (WGS) Program.
Over the past 10 years, WGS faculty and
Women 's Center staff have deliberately structured
curriculum and programming so that our students
have the theory (knowledge and understanding)
and practice (skills and experience) they need to
shape their communities.
The Women 's Community Collaborative is
the most formal teaching collaboration we
have developed. A nationally recognized
program , the course balances the classroom with
community experience, and models teamwork
from the two instructors - one from WGS, the
other from the Women 's Center. Moreover, each
semester about one-third of the 250 students
enrolled in our Introduction to Gender Studies
course complete six hours of service learning again collaboration between WGS faculty and
the Women's Issues Volunteer Corps (WIVC)
coordinator in the Women's Center. Without the
WIVC coordinator, service learning for the firstand second-year students enrolled simply would
not happen.
As activist professors ourselves, we seek
experiences that will engage our students to
understand the myriad ways they can shape
their world, while as students and after
graduation. Deliberate programming forms
the basis of those experiences, be it supporting
The Vagina Monologues or sponsoring dynamic
and engaging speakers. The range of these
experiences rests on the shared values.
Scholarship is also central to the relationship
between WGS and the Women's Center,
including co-authorship of articles, nominations
for awards, and research about best practices for
student learning. Equally important is our shared
support for student scholarship, be it funding to
conduct research , providing necessary data, or
providing resources so that students are able to
present their research on campus or at regional
and national conferences.
Ten years ago, the women and gender studies
program had maybe a dozen minors and a few
courses that mainly supported general education.
Now, WGS has more than 60 minors, offers
both a B.A. and B.S. degree to more than
40 majors, and has several courses for those
students. Our academic program would not
be as engaging as it is without the day-to-day
support that we and our students receive from
the Women's Center.

been empowered through their work with
center programming and staff members.
Several are represented here.
D ANN MARIE KLOTZ
Assistant Direct01~ Residential Education,
DePaul University
Although she is a decade removed from her Grand Valley
education, Ann Marie Klotz incorporates the lessons she
learned through the Women's Center in her professional
life on a near-daily basis.
Klotz works in residentia.l education at DePaul University
in Chicago, following other housing positions at Albion
College and Ball State University. She got her start as a
resident assistant in Copeland Hall in the late 1990s. As
a Grand Valley RA, Klotz, who minored in women and
gender studies, created hall posters and sponsored events
for residents centered on gender equality and feminism.
Her work caught the attention of Marlene Kowalski-Braun,
who at the time was a member of a steering committee
established to create a women's center at Grand Valley.
"Marlene asked me to be on the committee; I was the
student representative," Klotz said.
OUR STORIES

�Klotz credited the growth of the Women's
Center to Grand Valley's culture of
collaboration and its people. "Establishing
the Women's Center is a credit to the
whole campus. The people involved
created a resource that benefits students,
and the administrators were 100 percent
committed to it since Day l ," she said.
"It's amazing to me to even have had a
small role in that."
D DAVID JONES
Doctoral Candidate,
Western Michigan University
In the arena of sexual assault prevention,
David Jones brings a respected voice
to a message, be said, everybody needs
to hear.
Jones is a doctoral candidate in Western
Michigan University's (WMU) counseling
psychology program. He also established
WMU's sexual assault peer education
program, similar to the program he
started while at Grand Valley.
His interest in educating college students
about dating violence and sexual assault
sprang, Jones said, from common
decency.
"Once I learned the statistics about rape
in one of my college classes, I just felt
it was my role to get involved in
these things," Jones said.
Jones served as Grand Valley's first
advisor for Eyes Wide Open.
"As a straight, white man growing up,
assault awareness was not necessarily
part of my background," Jones said.
"But it affects people I love and care
about, and it affects me. My voice
needs to be heard."
ID LIZ SMITH

Council member, left, and Liz Smith
She also served as the Women's Center
student liaison to the YWCA, and helped
organize one of the first Take Back the
Night marches on campus.
"I was doing all these things as a student
and it was just incredible," Smith said.
"My college life would have been so
much emptier without the connection
to the Women 's Center.
Coordinator of Outreach
and International Students,
Barbara H. Padnos
International Center
"The center helps integrate what you learn
in class with social action. It serves as a
link between those two things."
Liz Smith enrolled at Grand Valley
already possessing strong feminist values
and a connectedness to community and
volunteerism.
Senior, Social Work Major
When she graduated in 2004, Smith
said those values were greatly enhanced
and broadened through her liberal studies
classes and through her volunteer work
at the Women's Center. She felt prepared
to do what many college students
consider but few actually do: enter
the Peace Corps.
Smith spent more than two years in
Senegal, West Africa, as a Peace Corps
worker. Her primary responsibility was
to help develop education and nutrition
programs for women and girls.
As a Grand Valley student, Smith was
a pioneer member of Eyes Wide Open,
the student organization that gives
presentations about sexual assault
prevention and helps support survivors.
D LATRICE JONES
As a young African-American woman,
Latrice Jones was comfortable identifying
herself by her race. She said sometimes,
however, she forgot about identifying
herself as a woman.
Grand Valley's Women's Center helped
Jones ground herself and appreciate all
aspects of her identity.
Jones is a senior, majoring in social
work. She graduated from Wyoming
Rogers High School and participated
in Grand Valley's Freshman Academy,
a program that offers comprehensive
services to students who are the first
in their families to attend college.
Jones worked as a Freshman Academy
student in the Office of Multicultural
Affairs, passing the Women's Center
en route to her Kirkhof Center office.
�"I went by this office so often and
wondered what it was about, so one
day I stopped in," she said.
DeWitt earned a dual master's degree
in public administration and social work
in 2011.
From that initial visit, Jones immersed
herself in the center's programming,
including acting as a mentor for NIARA,
a collaborative program sponsored by the
Women's Center, Multicultural Affairs,
and YWCA. The program invites Grand
Rapids high school girls to campus for
a day that includes networking, attending
mock classes, and talking with Grand
Valley students and alumni.
One of her first charges at the center
was to oversee planning for Domestic
Violence Awareness Month. "I had
to coordinate the month's different
programs, manage the interns, plan
the Silent Witness program," she said.
"I enjoyed working with the girls . It was
simple things, mostly making sure they
know there is a support system here if
they choose to enroll," Jones said.
liJ RACHAEL DEWITT
DeWitt said she quickJy learned how
the center's staff members easily follow
the feminist 1.eadership principles of
mentoring, providing opportunity, and
sharing power.
"They believed in me when I didn't really
believe in myself, supported me through
the process, and let me assume this
leadership even at graduate assistant
level," De Witt said.
Children's Advocacy Center, Holland
Rachael DeWitt has an arguably difficult
job of counseling sexually abused
children and teens at the Children's
Advocacy Center, a nonprofit
organization in Holland.
While her graduate-level courses in social
work gave her the tools and skills to be
a compassionate case manager, it was at
Grand Valley's Women's Center where
she found her leadership skills.
"I felt called to be at the Women's Center,"
DeWitt said. "And it was a good fit. It
allowed me to pursue school full-time
while gaining such great experience."
DeWitt said that powerful program
helped convince her of her life's work.
"I knew I had to continue to work with
domestic violence and sexual assault
victims . Working at the Women's Center
gave me a great opportunity to realJy
get a sense of what my passions are.
"It helped me build my confidence and
solidify my commitment to see people
in healthy, respectful relationships whether that's a parent-child relationship,
teenagers, or members of the LGBT
community," she said.
mJENIKA TOWNSEL
Photo: Darrhonda Scott-Jones, left,
and Jenika Townsel
Senior, English Major
Many people want to leave their
hometowns for brighter lights, bigger
cities. Not Jenika Townsel. She knows
Muskegon needs her.
Townsel is scheduled to graduate this year
with a bachelor's degree. Townsel's road
to her degree was bumpy at times; she
wants to ensure smoother travel
for others.
She enrolled in Grand Valley in 2008.
During her first week on campus,
Townsel literally ran into her cousin,
Darrhonda Scott-Jones, office coordinator
for the Women's Center.
"She didn't know I was coming to school
and I didn't know she worked at the
Women's Center," Townsel said.
Scott-Jones asked if Townsel would be
interested in applying to be a student
worker at the center.
"It got me out of my comfort zone. If
I hadn't worked at the center, and had
some other off-campus job, my life
would have been school, work, home,"
she said. "I needed to start experiencing
college life and branching out."

"The center has become a tru sted resource for Grand Valley students, and
is open to all. I have enjoyed immense ly my time spent assisting the Women 's
Center in various ways over the years. Marlene and Jo Ann are exceptional
leaders and have great passion for what they do."
"The Women 's Center was an integral part of my co ll ege development, and I
wanted to give back to it and to Grand Valley as a professional in our community.
I appreciate still being connected to the issues the center supports as staff
members help foster social justice with the student body."
��COMMUNITY PARTNERS
Because of its feminist leadership principles and advocacy, the Women's Center
naturally seeks community partners to complement and enhance the work
accomplished on Grand Valley's campuses.
Community partners like the Center for Women
in Transition, Girl Scouts of Michigan Trails,
Women 's Resource Center, and others, offer
opportunities for student internships and assist
with trainings and programs sponsored by the
Women 's Center.
The Women's Resource Center annually serves
900 women to help improve their workplace
and economic opportunities. Caldwell-Newton
said because most clients are single mothers,
that number extends to hundreds of children
and dependents.
Leaders at two community partners said they
get much more out of their relationship with
the Women's Center than they give.
Charisse Mitchell, executive director of the
Center for Women in Transition, works closely
with Women's Center staff members who oversee
the grant funded by the U.S . Justice Department,
Office of Violence Against Women. The grant
will help raise awareness of dating violence
and sexual assault on campus.
Sharon Caldwell-Newton, executive director
of the Women's Resource Center, was quick
to get on board and host interns from the
Women's Corrmrnnity Collaborative, a course
sponsored by the Women 's Center and women
and gender studies program that balances
class work and community service.
"We got involved when it started in 2005
and have been consistently involved since,"
Caldwell-Newton said. "The students know
the framework of feminist leadership; they
understand the social and political issues.
They 've been really valuable to us."

��GRADUATE STUDENT REFLECTIONS
KYRIE KIRKLAND
KATE ANDERSON
Graduate Student in the College Student Affairs
Leadership Program
Graduate Student in the Master of Social Work Program
The Women's Center has been an integral part to my collegiate
experience. r have never experienced an environment where people
are not only open to others' ideas and opinions but actually li sten.
r will
make the transition to the professional world very soon
and while I am not necessarily sprinting toward the finish line,
r am more at ease with finishing this race and starting another.
Before accepting my position as a graduate assistant at the
Women's Center, I was still ambivalent about working in
student affairs. It wasn't until staff members showed me the
inner workings of student affairs that J realized that working
in higher education wasn't just something that I could do, but
something that I wanted to do. And, they did all this just by
including me into their family.
Much of the center's work is grounded in advocacy and activism.
Staff members realize that in order to bring awareness you
have to be vocal about it. The Women's Center is no stranger
to speaking out against injustices, speaking up for marginalized
populations and speaking to individuals to encourage change
on campus. What I find the most remarkable is that the center
inspires those who have walked through their doors to speak.
The Women's Center gave me a voice. They taught me that it
was OK to speak my mind, express an opinion or state a concern
and if l could not advocate for anyone or anything else, I could
at least advocate for myself. Words can't express how lucky
lam to have been granted the opportunity to work here. It'll
be difficult to leave, the women here are awesome, but I know
that because of this experience, I will be at the top of my game
entering into the workforce.
I have always had a strong desire to work within an organization
and with individuals whose values I identify with and whose
work is focused on helping and building community. T feel
extremely fortunate to be completing my social work internship
at the Women 's Center because I have certainly found those
qualities here.
Since beginning my internship with the Women's Center last
spring, I have learned so much about social justice, activism,
higher education, and what it means to create change. It is
wonderful to be a part of a center that is doing such important
work on Grand Valley's campus and the wider community.
With an emphasis on intersectionality and advocacy I am
gaining extremely valuable knowledge and skills that will
shape my practice when I begin my professional career in
the social work field.
I have been ab le to be a part of several different projects
and programs that address issues which are a reality for many
Grand Valley students: food insecurity, eating disorders and body
image, sexual assault, and domestic violence. I have appreciated
the opportunity to work collaboratively with Women's Center
staff as well as staff members from other centers. What I enjoy
most about the Women's Center is the passion for this work that
is shared by staff members, interns, and student workers. The
energy created here is nothing short of inspiring. I am grateful
to be learning and developing professional ski ll s in such an open
and welcoming environment. l fee l that my voice is heard and
my opinions valued.

Intersectionality
Enhancing the development
of our students is at the
heart of our work. As
student affair professionals,
we make commitments
to honor and recognize
the multiple dimensions

Celebrating all of the

SPEAKING UP FOR STUDENTS

The most important lesson Susana Villagomez
learned through working at Grand Valley 's
Women 's Center was to speak up.
Villagomez started working in the Women's
Center as a Freshman Academy student, a
program that serves students who are the first
in their families to attend college. She quickly
immersed herself in the center's programming.

victims and survivors of domestic assault.
more of her friends on campus who talked of
struggling to buy food . "I didn ' t think that was
a problem," she said. "I lived at home and there
was always food ."
After earning a bachelor's degree in health
professions in 2011, Villagomez works part
time as a microbiologist in Grand Rapids. She
is also assisting Grand Valley professor Zulema
Moret with a research project in the Hispanic
community.
She spoke up and that conversation began a
campuswide initiative. The Student Food Pantry
opened in April 2009. It has since averaged one
customer daily.
Moret is interviewing Hispanic women who
are survivors of domestic violence. Villagomez
will deliver Moret's book of interviews to area
agencies and nonprofit organizations.
"T love that it's still going on," Villagomez said .
"Sometimes I think it's difficult for the Women 's
Center staff to keep up the pantry with all the
other programs they have going on, but it shows
that they go above and beyond their job
description."
�OUR FUTURE
As we mark our 10th anniversary, we are excited to give
you a glimpse of new things ahead. These efforts allow
students opportunities to not only shape their campus
and local communities through a residential leadership
experience, but to also shape the world they live in through
study abroad.
Womens Leadership House
The Women's Leadership House is a reside nti al li ving/learni ng
opportunity that will provide students with a small community
experience within the larger university. The program will
provide leadership development, programming that specifically
matches student interests and needs, and opportunities for
close interaction with the women and genders studies facu lty,
Women 's Center staff, Academic Community Housing staff,
and TRIOTA Student Organ.ization members. The Women 's
Leadership House will be located in the Ronald VanSteeland
Living Center o n the south side of the Allendale Campus.
South Africa
The Women's Center and women and gender studies program
have joi ned efforts to provide a six-week international study
abroad experience. The program 's focus is on women and gender
in South Africa and students wi ll divide their time between service
learning, academic field trips, and academic lectmes in cooperation
with the University of Cape Town. The program is designed to
complement academic lectures on the social history of gender
and race in South Africa with the experience of service learning
in the townships . Our coll aborative partner in Cape Town, South
Africa is the Student Health and Wellness Centers Organization
(SHAWCO) . This six-credit program is open to aJJ majors and
the first gro up of students wi ll travel to Cape Town in 2012 .
IN CLOSING
Our desire to create meaningful learning around
gender and to advocate for gender justice has
motivated our work for the past IO years. The last
decade has been vibrant - full of growth, challenges,
accomplishments, and celebrations. So many faculty.
staff. students, and community members have
contributed along the way - helping us leave
a lasting legacy. For that we are deeply grateful.
