CWC/TWC Network
Who We Are
Colorado Women's College was a division of the University of Denver, focusing on evening, weekend, and online courses for women. It originally opened in 1909 as a private women's college and merged with the University of Denver in 1982, before disbanding in 2022.
The college has persevered through many iterations in its over 130-year history, a hallmark of its resiliency and the power of its mission. The CWC/TWC Network is comprised of women who graduated from CWC/TWC at any point over the past 130 years, as well as women who graduated from its legacy program, the CWC Scholars Program at the University of Denver. The network carries forward CWC/TWC’s mission to ignite an equitable world through intense, perspective-shifting educational experiences that activate lasting, widespread change.
What We Do
Over the past 130 years, the Colorado Women's College focused on delivering what generations of women needed to unleash their full potential. Now, CWC's legacy lives on through the CWC Leadership Scholars Program at DU.
Colorado Women’s College Leadership Scholars serves undergraduate women at DU who are first-generation college students and/or from minoritized communities. This program, which has grown to be one of DU’s largest gift-funded scholarship programs, will thrive in Academic Affairs and join many of DU’s best cohort-model learning initiatives, including the prestigious PLP. The Scholars group is currently supported and mentored by many of CWC’s alumnae. With a commitment of support from Advancement, we hope to make even stronger connections between our CWC Leadership Scholars and CWC alumnae. Important traditions such as Hanging of the Greens and reunions will be supported into the future. Additionally, the Advancement team is dedicated to providing support for alumnae communication to ensure alumnae are connected with the CWC community.
