• Mission Statement

  The Janet C. Anderson Gender Resource Center at Idaho State University serves as the focal point on campus for the consideration of gender issues. 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. In our efforts, we are especially guided by the ideal of diversity, as valued by the Division of Student Affairs, which allows us to envision a future free of the limitations imposed by our culture's standard definitions of gender. Funded by Student Affairs through mandatory student fees, the Center’s primary target audience is that of ISU students; the Center also welcomes the interest and participation of prospective students, ISU faculty and staff, and members of the Eastern Idaho community.

Fall 2008 marks the Janet C. Anderson Gender Resource Center's 10th anniversary. Join us in celebrating a decade of service.

Your gift of $10 or more will help us move forward into the next 10 years of continued consideration of gender issues at Idaho State University. For more information on our programs and how you can support them, please call us at (208) 282 2805.

Thank you for considering a special gift to the Anderson Center this year!

2009 ISU Walk A Mile Calendars

The Project Hope Advocacy Program at Idaho State University hosted the 5th annual Walk a Mile in Her Shoes event at Idaho State University on October 1, 2008. This event involves men walking in high heel shoes to raise awareness of domestic violence and sexual assault. The event is extremely popular in both the ISU and Southeastern Idaho communities and because of this recognition; a 2009 ISU (12-month) calendar was released on October 1, 2008. The calendar features men who have participated in the event in previous years, and all the men are featured wearing high heel shoes. Please help us make a difference at Idaho State University and in the Southeastern Idaho community by purchasing a Walk a Mile in Her Shoes calendar.
