This year, due to distancing guidelines, we will hold our first meeting virtually. Members will be invited via an electronic link to sign up for the meeting. This means that you can safely attend from the comfort of your home and catch up with the latest happenings at the university and with the Women's League.
Normally, members gather throughout the school year for lunch, where we are treated to musical performances by students and learn from a wide range of campus speakers about activities and conversations taking place at Puget Sound. Following lunch, we conduct a business meeting.
Peruse our list of guest speakers and topics from the past few years.
