WRC HISTORY It's taken 30 years of dedica- tion and heart since the center opened Sept. 9,1974, in a sin- gle room in the Bradner Library on campus. With only a desk, chair and phone, Nancy Dufour took on the responsi- bility as its first director after the counseling department became aware of problems fac- ing displaced homemakers and [I jBp^N 1 i «®j women in crisis. By 1975, sec- ond director Jean Christensen 'J V was moving the center into a small house next to the cam- pus.The 1980s brought more opportunity for growth as the center began offering peer counseling six hours a day.By the time Virginia Wilhelm took over an director in 19b4, Project HERS (Homemakers RafdibT'iic Sh-A Host . Ti$aphilfttr Employment Re-entry System) ,.C6fnlirnpr A.'vocatc was up and running. Five years later, Swanborg took over and the name was changed to From Micro Chips to Chocolate Chips. Since then, it has become an award-winning program which takes partici- pants from working inside the home to outside employment after receiving educational counseling, computer training and job placement assistance. Begun in 1994, the Chips Boutique provides them with a gently used clothing to wear at interviews. imma STORIES OF TRIUMPH The'help doesn't stop there. In 2003, a second program was added to for those com- pleting Micro Chips to learn about personal finance. The knowledge is already helping Sarah Stewart, a young mother % of two boys with special needs. One of the success stories, Stewart sent a letter thanking the center. Because of the help she received there, she "plans wamuamwam to finish school and earn a leaching degree."
