The CRWN
The mission of The CRWN is to inspire undergraduate women of color (WOC) to move confidently as visionaries, grounded in excellence, empathy, and support for one another.
Who We Serve

While our program is designed to support and celebrate undergraduate women of Color, participation is open to all students regardless of race, gender, ethnicity, and national origin.
