Returning Women Students Program

Portland State has a high population of students returning after a break in their formal education, who share similar concerns. Our mission is to help students make their return to school a positive and rewarding experience. We provide women an opportunity to relate, communicate, and connect to one another. The Returning Women Student's Program offers services designed to support and inform women, as well as providing one on one advocacy and support and hosting social events.
