Student Life
Women’s Center
212. 237.8184
The Women’s Center supports student success by providing invaluable
links between student-centered research, peer networking, educational
programming and clinical intervention. The center provides education,
outreach and activist opportunities on women’s issues and gender justice.
It also makes available direct services (crisis intervention, short-term and
ongoing individual counseling, groups and referral services), educational
programs (workshops, conferences, trainings), activities, and a safe space
for women students and their allies. The center collaborates with groups
inside and outside John Jay College to promote the physical, mental and
sexual health of all students through activism and advocacy. It seeks to
advance knowledge of gender equity and women’s issues and the
opportunities and barriers students can face on campus and in society.
Children’s Center
212.237.8311
The Children’s Center of John Jay College provides care during weekday
classes for up to 55 children from six months through five years. The
center is open during fall and spring semesters from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM
Monday through Thursday, when classes are in session. It is also open
Fridays from 9:00 AM to 3:30 PM. (Hours are subject to change.) A
summer program with shorter hours is also available.
The center offers an educational program where children learn about
themselves in a warm, caring and comfortable environment. Children of
undergraduate students have priority; graduate students and nonmatriculated
students are accommodated on a space-available basis.
There is a modest fee per child per semester. Some fee subsidies are
available and awarded based on family income. More information and
applications may be obtained at the Children’s Center.
The Office of Community Outreach and Service-Learning

The Office of Community Outreach and Service-Learning works to
connect John Jay College students to their neighboring communities and
cultivate an awareness of community needs. The office encourages
students to become civically engaged, which can be in the form of
individual volunteerism or organizational involvement. Student input is
welcome.
Students, faculty and staff can become involved in their community by
taking advantage of the numerous opportunities that the Office of
Community Outreach provides. Recent projects have included the Fall
2009 Student G. Komen Race for the Cure, where John Jay was
recognized with the award for the Largest College Delegation, and the
“Treats for Troops” Campaign for which the office also raised over
$3,500 and sent 64 boxes (35 lbs each) overseas to dedicated U.S military
personnel.
Health Services
212.237.8052
The College’s Health Services Center is designed exclusively to meet the
healthcare needs of John Jay students. Through accessible, high quality,
cost-effective health activities and services, the office provides the
highest quality health information to facilitate the physical, emotional,
and social well-being of students.
The center is staffed by a health services director, a nurse coordinator,
and a part-time nurse practitioner who ensures that students comply with
New York State Public Health Laws for immunization of measles,
mumps and rubella. In addition to primary care, women's health and
nutritional care, the center also provides preventive healthcare, health
education services, and promotes wellness initiatives throughout the
campus. Where necessary, the Student Health Center makes referrals to
low-cost medical centers/clinics, provides on-site health screenings, and
dispenses over-the-counter medications.
