Women Student Programs
The Office for University Women strives to empower, support and develop a sense of community among University of Minnesota women students. We provide educational enrichment, leadership development, and service learning opportunities. And we seek your input in designing programs and events that address interests and issues of concern to women students at the University so give us a call or stop in - we’d like to hear from you.

A Sample of What We Do
Have a Question?
Call our office at 612.625.9837 for answers to academic,
bureaucratic, and personal questions or for referral to helpful
services at the University and beyond.
In a Student Group?
We actively collaborate with student organizations interested in women’s issues by
providing program planning expertise, advice and support, and sometimes we can
provide modest financial support.
Need Financial Help?
The Office for University Women administers two scholarships (Macpherson and Alumnae)
for women returning to school after a break in their education. The application
process begins in January for the following academic year.
Want to Get Involved?
If you have an idea for a program of interest to women or see an unmet need in the University community, please come talk to us! We base our programming and advocacy efforts on student needs and input.
Need a Cool Place to Study or
Meet?
Stop into our Women’s Study Lounge in 128 Klaeber Court to use reference
materials on women’s health and wellness, financial aid and financial
management, careers and travel, and more. Study with friends in a quiet,
comfortable place. Or, simply curl up in a chair with one of our collection
of cross-cultural fiction, poetry, biography, autobiography, women’s history
or other categories of good reading. We also offer computer internet connection and
information on community organizations. Come on in!
