In June 2024, the Women’s Committee marked its 75th anniversary with a celebratory luncheon. Founded in 1948 by Glenna Snow to support home economics students, the Committee has evolved over the decades into a vital link between the University and the broader community. Initially focused on home economics, it now addresses a wide range of University needs, including support for various academic and cultural initiatives.
Throughout its history, the Women’s Committee has made substantial contributions to the University, from funding scholarships and enhancing campus facilities to organizing educational events and fundraisers. Despite shifting priorities and evolving membership dynamics, the Committee has consistently demonstrated a deep commitment to students and academic excellence. Its enduring legacy is reflected in the numerous departments and projects it has supported, underscoring its ongoing role in the University’s success and community engagement.
