Jane Kopas Women’s
Center
The purpose of the Campus Women’s Center
is to advance an environment in which women and men can live and work together
in equality, understanding, and mutual respect. The Center works to increase
awareness of gender issues and thus promote personal growth and whole-person
development among University students, faculty, and staff. The Center
strengthens the sense of shared purpose throughout the University by addressing
gender issues on campus and working to ensure the integration of women
into every facet of the University community. It contributes to the
University’s commitment to community service and social justice by
providing leadership and resources on gender issues.
In order to overcome “the legacy of systematic
discrimination against women,” described in the Jesuits’ 34th
Congregation document, the Center is dedicated to empowering women to reach
their fullest potential. However, it recognizes that gender
discrimination adversely affects men and women. Therefore, we recognize
the need for both women and men to work together for gender equality. The
Center respects cultural and racial diversity as an expression of this
commitment to equality, working to dismantle the internal and external
structures of discrimination in order to develop new models for gender equality
and justice.

the entire University community to join us in reflection, celebration and

and ministers of hospitality.

Collegiate Volunteers
Collegiate
Volunteers is a cooperative volunteer placement program between the University
of Scranton and Marywood University. Students are placed according to their
interests and in response to community need. Student initiated activities are
greatly encouraged. Volunteer service by college students to those in need in
the Scranton area have at least three main purposes. The first would be
educational. Education such as the school's propose require their graduates to
understand the world in which they live and be of service. Community service in
a unique way exposes the learner to the realities of much of that world which
often are concealed: the enormity of need, the complexity of remedies and
remedial agencies, the great gifts which the needy bestow on those who share
their world. More personal but equally educational is the second goal: the
volunteers, both in activity and reflection upon activity, should learn about
themselves. Volunteer service should reveal much about their abilities and
limitations, but more importantly about the type of work and service which
really satisfies them. In noticing their contentments, enthusiasms, distastes,
etc., serious discerners can encounter God's will. Above even these goals is
the obligation, which the schools and the students share, simply to respond to
the need according to resources and other responsibilities. Thus the goals of
such a program will integrate education with service, and will place a premium
on careful selection of experiences on reflection. In every sense, the service
must be communal, integrating, liberating, and a creator of energies and skills
for the future.

Counseling Center
The staff at the Counseling Center is available to any
student of the University community for personal and confident ial consultation
as well as individual and group counseling.
Sometimes students have personal problems they may wish to
discuss with a counselor. These may be related to the transition from high
school to college or to decision-making regarding a variety of challenges that
may occur in the life of a college student. Often finding ways to talk about
the stresses of life can make the difference between an average college
experience and an exceptional one.
All Counseling Center professional staff are licensed in
psychology, counseling or social work and are available to help students make
the most they can out of their years at the University. Supervised doctoral
candidates/interns may also be available to work with students.

Office of Multicultural
Affairs
We're building a diverse community at the University of
Scranton because it's a part of our mission and our identity. We share in
an educational tradition that began over 450 years ago when
Saint Ignatius Loyola founded the Society of Jesus. From the
beginning, the Jesuits welcomed students of diverse backgrounds, races,
and religions. This openness grows from the Jesuit belief that we
find God in the world with all its rich diversity.
