Women's Coalition

Launched with the goal of creating bridges between the various women's groups at the University of Denver, the Women's Coalition seeks to advance our institution toward a more representative and inclusive culture for women. Promoting the sharing of resources and information between women's groups on and near campus, the Coalition seeks to transform the University into a leader in higher education for women, striving to center the experiences of women from marginalized or underrepresented backgrounds. Through educational programming, campus events, and collaborative projects, the Women's Coalition aims to support an empowering campus community for all women.

Our Vision

The University of Denver will become the top choice for women, inclusive of diverse backgrounds at all levels of higher education.

Our Mission

The Women's Coalition creates and fosters a University of Denver culture that values and empowers all women.
