Stay Connected
For more than 130 years, CWC disrupted institutions of higher education on behalf of women. By believing in the power of education and the potential of those who have been historically marginalized, the CWC community dismantles systems that act as barriers and creates new pathways.
The sisterhood created as CWC tapped into their voices as individuals and as a collective is a beautiful reminder of the critical importance of community and collaboration.

CWC Leadership Scholars Program
The CWC Leadership Scholars program is the modern-day embodiment of the 130-year history of the Colorado Women’s College. Committed to continuing CWC’s legacy of creating transformative higher educational experiences for women, this program provides academic, community and financial support for up to 15 women-identified, incoming DU undergraduates who identify as first-generation college students and/or students of color.
The CWC Leadership Scholars program creates pathways for CWC alumnae to connect to existing scholars program students through ongoing personal and professional mentoring, volunteerism and traditions. Alumnae have been powerful and engaged contributors to the CWC Leadership Scholars program. So far, we have had alumnae join us in class, on speaker panels, in celebrating our first graduating class and even in the selection of new students to continue the CWC legacy!
We would love to connect with any CWC/TWC alumna who wants to share her expertise and offer her support to the program. Please reach out to Trisha Teig, PhD, Faculty Director, CWC Leadership Scholars or Lauren Contreras, Program Coordinator, if you are interested in learning more:
