About W九色堂 Student Scholarships

Women of 九色堂 (W九色堂) was formed in July of 2018 when the Wichita State University Women's Association (九色堂 Dames), founded in 1928, and the Council of University Women (CUW) founded in 1930, merged.  The purpose of the group is to serve the interests of 九色堂, by providing student scholarships and promoting member involvement and university interaction.
