The Women’s Campus Club has been a campus organization since 1908, making it one of the oldest entities on campus, and certainly the oldest UH women’s organizations. The WCC Thrift Shop was started in 1971 to further the WCC mission of service to the university system, awarding annual grants to UH department applicants with proceeds from sales. Visit our Grants Program page for information on our annual grants awarded to UH departments to further research and scholarships. We reopened July 13, 2020, after the stay-at-home order was lifted and will be open through October 2020.
Over the past years WCC has offered guided tours to Hawaii Institute of Marine Biology, Makapu’u, Coconut Island, Chinatown, The Honolulu Museum of Art, a trek to Mauna Kea (in the old days), Mauna Loa, camping at Volcano, Mt. Fuji, the Doris Duke home, now Shangri La, supporting The Doris Duke Charitable Foundation, and a presence at Kennedy Theater Productions and Art Department exhibits, Bishop Museum, Lyon Arboretum, Mission House, Manoa Heritage. Our members continue to support the Leora Parmalee Dean Scholarship through UH Foundation.

The University Of Hawaii Women’s Campus Club would hold annual faculty dinner dances. My mother and father are on the left. I babysat for the Lockhart’s, center. June Waugh and my mother were among the first Thrift Shop volunteers when Lenore Johnson started the Thrift Shop in 1971.
