Women’s Resource Center offers support to breastfeeding mothers!
With many students and faculty returning to work and classes after giving birth, the Women’s Resource Center wants women to have the opportunity to breastfeed after they return to school and work. A lactation station has been set up in the Center in partnership with University Health Services and the Work/Life program on campus. The station has all the equipment and supplies available along with educational material about breastfeeding. The station is open to any women who want to come in and use it. Anyone interested in using the station should call the Women’s Resource Center at 672-9230.
