Services
The services the Center provide are directed toward students, but anyone in the campus community may take advantage of the services we provide.
Period Supplies
The Center provides free period supplies to any student who requires them. Brown bags with supplies are located just outside of the center for discrete and easy access. In addition, we have full boxes available in the Center and at Captainâ?Ts Pantry in the residence halls. We hold a donation drive each October to refill our supplies, but we will accept donations any time.

Open to students, faculty, staff, and guests to the campus, we provide a private space, comfortable chair, and refrigerator space. Supporting parents is a goal of the center. If you need access to the lactation room outside of business hours, please contact the center director to make other arrangements.
