Welcome! 

The information on this page is designed to help you balance the competing tasks of your life as both an employee and a parent and/or caregiver by highlighting policies and resources that provide help and community support. These resources have a specific focus on the Pennsylvania's State System of Higher Education (PASSHE). Additional resources can be found on the student parent and caregiver resource page. You will find information regarding child-care centers, child-care subsidy programs, assisting our elders, healthcare services, and resources for caregivers. Although these resources were developed for students at WCU many of the resources can also be utilized by faculty and staff.

If you are in need of additional resources, please do not hesitate to reach out to the Center for Women & Gender Equity.
