Uni expands female-only program despite low male enrollment
Article here. Excerpt:
'Despite ongoing issues with male enrollment, the University of Denver is set to expand its female-only program designed to promote female success.
Founded in 1888, the Colorado Women’s College initially sought to provide educational access to women at a time when they were largely excluded from higher education. By 1982, however, it merged with DU, and by 2016, it ceased granting degrees.
To this day, the CWC continues to operate as an arm of DU, employing five full-time staffers, offering research grants, and hosting events throughout the year dedicated to “the advancement of women and girls.”
Events from last year included an alumni panel titled “Femme in STEM,” an art exhibit dedicated to “Celebrating Colorado Women and their Extraordinary Stories,” as well as a celebration for female students who graduated in the summer.'
