Biographical or Historical Information
The Purdue University Women’s Association (P.U.W.A.) was organized in March 1967 and was comprised of the female clerical employees of Purdue University Calumet Campus. The Association was established after there had been discussion among the female clerical staff on ways to reach agreements regarding gifts for fellow employees for showers, weddings, babies, and if “girls” leave employment at Purdue. In addition, the Association was organized to promote a feeling of unity among the female clerical staff and plan social activities. Each member was required to pay a $1.00 initiation fee as well as a $0.50 per month as dues.
