The University Women’s Club (UWC) of the University of Colorado Boulder was founded in 1919 to promote friendship among members and to provide service to the University and to the Boulder community.

More than 20 Interest Groups provide opportunities for activity and friendship. Club membership is open to women who are members or friends of the University.

Our History

The UWC has a long history of strong women leaders, dating back to the first UWC President, Mrs. Margaret Willard, who served from 1918-1919. Our annual Margaret Willard Award is named in honor of this pioneering woman.
