Since 1900 at the University of Kansas

Affiliated with KU, our members meet for friendship and to serve the University. Formed in 1900 to help women take advantage of the educational, cultural and social heritage of KU, our club encouraged housing for women students and later founded what is now KU's longest continuous scholarship program. Over time we've moved toward more inclusive membership. We welcome colleagues and spouses across our extended KU family.

Today, the University Women's Club serves needs in three areas:

• Scholarship: UWC awards scholarships annually to assist women students in pursuit of their educational goals at KU.
• Service: UWC members contribute their time and talents to the University and within the Lawrence community.
• Social: UWC fosters friendships, from mentoring newcomers and keeping retirees involved to forming groups with others who share like interests.

You can join the University Women's Club at any time. Select the events and interest groups you wish to attend. UWC monthly luncheon meetings are planned to fit into your work schedules. Members can attend the programs that precede meals and join members for lunch if they wish. Become involved as much or as little as you like.

2008-2009 programs have concluded. The 2009-2010 program will be posted in August 2009.
