Established to celebrate the formal installation of our first permanent woman President, Dr. Cady Short-Thompson, Women for NKU is the opportunity for women leaders in Greater Cincinnati to support her vision for the university’s future – one where our capacity meets bold goals to raise the level of educational attainment across our region, ensure that everyone can reach their potential, and where our region is a thriving, vibrant place for all to live, work, and play.
Empowering Women’s Philanthropy
Women’s contributions to NKU are growing in significance each year, leading the way to the university’s successful future. At the forefront of this charge, Women for NKU harnesses the power of women and their networks to focus on meaningful involvement and bold investment in the NKU Experience. NKU women open doors for future generations of Norse!
We are a diverse network of alumni, students, parents, faculty, staff and friends of NKU who, in support of President Short-Thompson, engage and inform women with and about the people, programs, and successes of the university. Our primary goals are to support the President’s priorities, and to help drive the university’s successful future by enhancing the collective involvement and financial impact of women giving to NKU.
We seek new ways to engage women of varied interests and accomplishments in the life of the university. Women for NKU encourages women to connect with one another, university leaders and NKU’s exceptional professors and students as they invest their time, talents and resources.
