Founded and incorporated in 1927 by women graduates, the University Women’s Club of Montreal Inc. (UWCM) promotes fellowship and stimulates interest in current social issues with a goal to use our education and professional training to foster cultural, social and political awareness. We encourage self-learning through talks by external speakers and special interest-group activities, and advocate and fundraise to improve the status of women near and far.

UWCM is affiliated with CFUW-FCFDU (formerly Canadian Federation of University Women) that holds special consultative status with the United Nations Social and Economic Council (ECOSOC). In turn, CFUW is a member of Graduate Women International (GWI) that works to promote human rights, education, and social justice.

Are you new to the city, looking to learn something different or to occupy your spare time? Do you find yourself at a crossroads or want to support higher education for women? Are you seeking to expand your interests, make new friends, and give back through advocacy?

Join us.
