The Women's Center opened in October 1989 to address safety issues and equal educational opportunities for women on campus. Services include information and referral on important community services and issues affecting women; advocacy and support to victims of sexual assault, discrimination and sexual harassment, and cutting-edge educational programs on issues impacting women's lives. In addition, the center houses a small, specialized resource library of books and other materials by and about women, as well as a lactation/breastfeeding room. The Women's Center has space for meetings, study, programs and discussions.

The Women's Center also administers special programs to empower women and address issues affecting the status of women at SCSU, including: 1) scholarships for non-traditional female students, 2) R.A.D. self defense training for women, and 3) support for student organizations that work to empower women.
