Welcome to YUWO's web site!

YUWO Holiday GALA!
Sunday, December 11 - 4 to 6 pm
Horchow Hall, 55 Hillhouse (at the corner of Sachem)

Please remember to bring a favorite sweet or savory ready for everyone to enjoy.
This party is a wonderful and festive way to support our YUWO scholarship funds. A number of activity groups are planning to prepare theme baskets for the raffle. Again, this year there will be a silent auction table. The gourmet luncheon group is planning to auction a dinner and other items are welcome.

The Yale University Women's Organization (YUWO) was founded in 1965 "to provide an opportunity for women of the Yale community to meet and pursue common intellectual and social interests." For more information about the history of the organization, click here.

The organization sponsors various activity groups that focus on specific interests of the members. YUWO also sponsors three popular lecture series: the monthly Lunch and Learn programs, and the Fall and Spring Study Groups. YUWO also sponsors several bus trips during the year to destinations of interest throughout the region.

Our calendar also includes three special events — the annual Wine and Cheese Reception, which is held in September at the President's House, the holiday Gala at Horchow House on Hillhouse Avenue on December 11, and the annual luncheon in May.

For over three decades, YUWO has sponsored Scholarships for Continuing Education, a program designed to provide financial assistance to women of the Yale community; applicants must be associated with the Yale community by their own or their immediate family’s employment.

We hope you'll consider joining us!
