E.V.E. (Empowering Women Everyday)
It is important to recognize that violence occurs across all walks of life. It is an issue that will affect us all directly and/or indirectly. E.V.E.'s goal is to provide up-to-date resources and referrals on domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking. The WRC looks to be a safe place to speak up and out about violence against women.
Transitions Mentoring Program for Returning Students
The Transitions Program is open to female returning undergraduate, transfer and graduate students ages 25 + in their first semester at UM-Dearborn. Students will be matched with faculty/staff mentors and will attend a day-long kickoff event at the beginning of the semester. Mentors and mentees will be encouraged to keep in contact via email and phone as well as attend optional campus events as a group.
