Association of Collegiate Alumnae

The Association of Collegiate Alumnae was founded in 1882 as a professional organization for women who had completed higher education. Its goal was to promote women’s education, professional development, and social progress. The organization evolved over time, eventually becoming the Foundation for the Education of Women of the Harvard Radcliffe Institute. It played a key role in advancing opportunities for women in education and the workforce, advocating for equality and supporting initiatives that empower women to achieve their full potential in academic and professional settings.
