Student Led
The Freedom Center is a space completely led by student leaders.
Our History
Since 2006, the student body at Western Oregon has fought for a space that served underrepresented communities. Over the years, students faced challenges and letdowns throughout this process. Finally in 2021, we got what we have been fighting for, what is known today as The Freedom Center.

The Logo
The hand: Our hand is half-open to signify reaching for the stars and that the fighting is not at the forefront of what we do anymore. We fought so hard to get here and for equality.
