The CRWN
The mission of The CRWN is to inspire undergraduate students to move confidently as visionaries, grounded in excellence, empathy, and support for one another.
Who We Serve
The CRWN is designed for sophomore and above undergraduate women, though participation is open to all undergraduate students. Students may remain in the program until graduation.
Women include transgender women, cisgender women, and non-binary individuals.
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.
Applications are now open for our 2025-2026 cohort!
