Does the WRC really put on events?

Yes, we do! One of the primary functions of Truman State University’s Women’s Resource Center is putting on events for all people on and off campus to attend, enjoy, and learn a little something. To stay up-to-date with the latest information, be sure to follow us on Instagram @wrctruman!

Upcoming events

Transgender Day of Remembrance, initiated in 1999 by a transgender advocate, began as a vigil to honor the memory of Rita Hester, a transgender woman tragically killed in 1998. This observance has since evolved into an annual tradition on November 20th, commemorating the lives of transgender individuals lost to acts of anti-transgender violence. Participate in Transgender Day of Remembrance by attending the vigil on November 20, 6:00 pm on the steps of the Kirk Memorial Building to honor those lost to anti-transgender violence, learn about the violence affecting the transgender community, and support organizations dedicated to transgender rights.
