Historical NoteReturn to Top

The Faculty Wives\Faculty Women's organization was set up in the early 1950s. It grew out of a need for social interaction amongst women. This organization provided women the opportunity to socialize with peers and contribute to the University. The group's activities included ice cream socials, potlucks, dinners, and tea parties. The organization sought to introduce women into a world that revolved around the University. The organization struggled to maintain membership as more middle-class women entered the workforce. The organization formally disbanded in the Fall quarter of 1979.
