The UCSC Women’s Club, where campus and
community come together
Mission Statement: The UCSC Women’s Club is open to all women of the campus and town communities. Its purpose is to be of service to the university, to foster friendships between town and gown, and to encourage understanding and support for the mission and functions of the university. A special goal of the club is to develop scholarships for re-entry students.
