What We Do

The Chancellor's Committee for Women (CCW) advocates for equity and full participation for women/women-identified persons on the campus. As a representative committee, our collective experience is diverse and proactive.  We:

  • Monitor the status of women on campus.
  • Recommend policy to create significant change.
  • Work to assure justice and equity for women at the University of Colorado Boulder.

For the past 1.5 years we held Listening Lunches where we gathered information about what is important to women on campus. These findings have guided our work; initatives have included lactation room mapping, intersectional work with other groups, and  data transparency for pay equity.
