Women of the University Community is an inclusive organization established at Syracuse University in 1927. We are here to offer you friendship, fellowship, interest groups, and information about the Syracuse community.

 

The organization schedules special events during the school year, sponsors interest groups that meet regularly, and organizes projects to raise funds for scholarships.

 

The Mildred Eggers award is presented to students in Continuing Education studying part time at University College, the Ruth Tolley award is presented to outstanding juniors in the College of Human Services and Health Professions, and the Beverly Whaley scholarship to a sophmore or junior at the SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry.

 

The organization is open to those from Syracuse University, SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry, and SUNY Upstate Medical University who are current or retired faculty, staff, or trustees, and their spouses or widows, and to enrolled graduate students and their spouses.

 

Women not eligible for membership may participate in interest groups as associate members. (Only paid members and newcomers will receive mailings)

 

NEWCOMERS ... please email wuc@syr.edu to learn more about WUC and to receive a membership packet.

 

GOVERNMENT is under a constitution by a Board of Directors, elected to two year terms. Every effort is made to secure a wide representation of the membership. The wives of the Presidents of SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry and SUNY Upstate Medical University, Joanne Murphy and Donna Bacchi, and the Chancellor of Syracuse University, Nancy Cantor, are ex-officio members.
