The women of Wichita State are diverse and amazing -- sometimes on the front lines, sometimes in the background, each one important and influential in her role. Consider joining the Council of University Women (CUW), an organization serving the women of Wichita State to promote friendly spirit of comradery and personal growth and support the efforts of women students through perpetuating an Endowed Scholarship Fund, established in 1990. Membership is open to all female faculty and staff, with the exception of student assistants, for just $10 per academic year. Don't miss the free come-and-go open house featuring dessert and a photo-op with WuShock from 11:30 a.m.-1 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 13, in 233 RSC. Sample what monthly CUW programs have to offer.
