Abstract	Since the 1960s, women's centers on college campuses have provided a wide variety of resources. Unfortunately, not all colleges and universities house women's centers, despite the need for such spaces for their students. In this article, Janelle M. Silva describes a senior seminar grounded in feminist pedagogy and community psychology principles to develop a space where students could learn to work as a collaborative group to facilitate social change on their campus. Eighteen community psychology undergraduate students investigated the need for a women's center through student surveys and faculty interviews. This paper presents a collective illustration of this class project. Silva concludes that this project can be used as an example for teachers who are interested in wanting to explore a student-run, collaborative research project on their campus. (ERIC).
