Janet C. Anderson Gender Resource Center

The mission of the Center is to increase awareness and promote open dialogue about gender through its resources and services, educational programming and support of gender-related research.

As a result, Bowen appointed Dr. Janet Anderson, Dean of Student Affairs, to head a committee that would determine if a women's center was a feasible idea for Idaho State University.

[citation needed] In December 1999, the Center established the Project Hope Advocacy Program through a grant from the Department of Justice's Office on Violence Against Women.

The Center provides educational programming, the support of gender-related research, and resources that help individuals make important life decisions.

The Janet C. Anderson Gender Resource Center's library holds books, magazines, and pamphlets on a variety of gender-related topics.

The library holds material that focuses on everyone no matter what their sex, sexual orientation, ethnic or cultural background, religion, abilities or age are.
