Student Advising

Ban Righ Centre Logo

The Ban Righ Centre assists women-identified students of all ages, especially those who are returning to university after a time away to continue formal or informal education.

The Centre is located on campus and is a hub of campus life for mature women students and mothers from diverse backgrounds, through which they can become part of a community of peers. 

  • Offers student advising, financial assistance, practical and personal support
  • Promotes university resources (intellectual, scholastic, cultural, recreational)
  • Facilitates the participation of women in campus functions
  • Advocates on behalf of mature women students and student mothers
  • Brings staff, faculty, and students together in an environment which encourages mutuality and equality
  • Provides a continuing education program of speakers and visiting scholars open to the broader community
