"It might be 'I'm just having a really bad day and I don't have a psychological problem,'" Merrill said, adding that this is one of the one-on-one services offered to students. '"I just need somebody to vent. Can I talk to you?'" In conjunction with Women's History Month, the center honored, during a Friday night dinner, the many men and women who have reached out and touched the lives of others, creating a circle of influence. Jen Broadbent, a senior majoring in health promotion and current intern for the center, recalls how women in history, such as Rosa Parks, helped pave the way for modern-day women. "I think it's great to be a woman in these days," Broadbent said. "I can do all kinds of stuff compared to what women were able to do has worked for the Women's back then.

Any woman can come here and leave feeling a little better about themselves and their situation." Merrill said she wants women to be aware of their services and programs, to know the center is a safe place for them to be, and advises women everywhere to always have a dream. "Know that there are people and places that will help to advocate you to accomplish that dream," Merrill said. "The only barriers that you have in life are the ones that you place on yourself." For more information about the services available for women, students can visit the center located in the Shepherd Union Building, room 322, open Monday thru Thursday from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., and Fridays until 4:30 p.m. Comment on this story at wsusignpost.com. 10 % off on bridal settings purchase upon presentation of valid school I.D.
