About Us

Women of color at the University of Minnesota play a vital role in the advancement of the mission of the institution as a whole. University Women of Color sponsors events and gatherings that create a space for all women of color within the University, to feel supported, affirmed, and connected.

Through these gatherings, women of color are able to:

• Build an active community within the University through friendship and harmonious fellowship.
• Provide information and resources about the University and broader Twin Cities community through networking, presentations, programs, and topical classes.
• Create connections with others to help eliminate isolation and increase cross-cultural understanding and connections.
• Share stories and experiences through Circle, song, dance and other culturally affirming ways.
