Resources & Services

Resources and services at CWGE or with CWGE campus and community partners are tied to no unique events. Services and resources can be accessed through the Center continuously.

Relax or Study in the Center Lounge
Our lounge, located in 278 Hayes Hall, is open Monday-Friday from 9:00a-5:00p. Falcons can grab a warm beverage, a snack, and unwind with an activity from our craft cart! We offer a library of feminist literature and a safe space to relax, do homework, or just take a break from your day.

Use our Wellness Room
This room (Hayes 261) can be used as a lactation space or as a dedicated space to simply breathe, relax, and recharge with no agenda.

Masculinities Engagement Network (MEN)

Past events and programming have included hosting the Ohio Consortium for Men and Masculinities Annual Conference in Fall 2018 and training for peer education programs by undergraduate and graduate men on gender equity, healthy masculinities, and violence prevention.

Parenting at BGSU
The Center for Women and Gender Equity and Non-Traditional Student Services maintain a list of programs and services for parents and families at BGSU.

Gender Violence Prevention and Education Services
Founded in 2018, as a Center within CWGE, Gender Violence Prevention and Education Services (GVPES) seeks to foster a culture that prioritizes consent and respect and actively responds to survivors by supporting them and their allies. As part of these efforts, GVPES works to engage students, faculty, staff, and community partners to create an environment where violence of any kind will not be tolerated.
