Organizational History:

Central Michigan University (CMU) Women is the successor organization to CMU. Faculty Dames. The organization provides several social activities during the year as well as small group activities to allow members to become better acquainted. The name of the organization changed in September 1998, to accommodate wives of CMU administrators and faculty, as well as women who are themselves CMU administrators and faculty. The records of the CMU Faculty Dames are also housed in the Clarke Historical Library. One subgroup within the organization hikes regularly while another plays bridge, an activity which began in the Faculty Dames group. (This information is from the collection.)
