Colorado Women's College at University of Denver

Colorado Women's College at University of Denver Our Mission is to ignite an equitable world through intense, perspective-shifting educational experiences that activate lasting, widespread change.

The University of Denver’s Colorado Women’s College (CWC) historical mission – to educate women to boldly lead in the communities where they live, work and engage – is as relevant today as ever. The college has persevered through many iterations in its over 130-year history, a hallmark of CWC’s resiliency and the power of its mission. CWC has been intentional in creating a learning environment tha

t is distinctive, inclusive, and rooted in a sense of community. This community, which has most recently served nontraditional and diverse female students so well, is perfectly suited to impact the 21st century woman who seeks, and most likely will demand, an environment and overarching culture that embraces her as a whole person with intellectual interests, passions, needs, and ambitions beyond the classroom and campus. We are called, once again, to reinvent the Colorado Women’s College - to change how we educate and enlarge our scope of work. Women, as much as anyone, know how limiting labels can be. In a way, our name is a daily reminder of our work to tear down such limits. Our mission is to ignite an equitable world through intense, perspective-shifting educational experiences that activate lasting, widespread change.

1Day4DU is finally here!

We invite you to join us in supporting our students by making a donation to the Emergency and Enrichment Funds.

The Emergency and Enrichment Funds are critical to supporting CWC Scholars in their academic journeys. This year, we have supported students by funding study abroad opportunities, paying for unforeseen medical bills, buying professional attire for a student to attend a STEM conference, and more! These funds help our students succeed and lessen the financial burdens that they face.

Thank you for your support!

I’m Camila Frech. I’m a first year here at the University of Denver. Here is a funny picture of me on the amazing CWC Leadership Scholars retreats we have twice a year in hopes that you will donate to our Emergency & Enrichment Fund. CWC has been one of the most amazing parts of college for me! It has provided me with such an amazing support system and if you help us reach our goal of 50 donors you would help so many first-gen college women out a ton! It can be as little as $5 and it would mean the world to the CWC scholars and me 💖

Our Story

The University of Denver’s Colorado Women’s College (CWC) historical mission – to educate women to boldly lead in the communities where they live, work and engage – is as relevant today as ever. The college has persevered through many iterations in its 126-year history, a hallmark of CWC’s resiliency and the power of its mission. CWC has been intentional in creating a learning environment that is distinctive, inclusive, and rooted in a sense of community. This community, which has most recently served nontraditional and diverse female students so well, is perfectly suited to impact the 21st century woman who seeks, and most likely will demand, an environment and overarching culture that embraces her as a whole person with intellectual interests, passions, needs, and ambitions beyond the classroom and campus. With an overarching goal of establishing CWC as a collaborative hub for women’s advancement in the Rocky Mountain West region and beyond, CWC has begun to implement a new Strategic Plan. This strategic plan to reimagine CWC’s future reflects an iterative process involving stakeholders from across DU’s campus, metro Denver, and the nation. A wide range of ideas and aspirations were gathered, sifted and curated to create this working draft for a transformed Colorado Women’s College in the form of two major Innovations. These proposed Innovations have been mapped against DU Impact 2025 to ensure alignment with and relevance to the University’s vision for the future.
