Interest Groups

We love gathering together to share a common interest, and we are so happy that we will be able to do that again this club year. See an interest group you’d like to join? Your handbook has the contact information for the coordinator(s) of each interest group, so give them a call.

Membership renews each fall so sign up today. Please note that membership in the University Woman’s Club is a requirement to participate in these events.
