Transcript: "A Mutual Need for Friendship in New Surroundings": The Union College Student Wives Association and Childcare Center, 1965-1986.

In honor of International Women's Day, this exhibition features materials from two collections in Union's archives: the Student Wives Association of Union College Records, and the Childcare Center Reunion Collection.

The Student Wives Association of Union College was established in 1965 by a small group of women who were married to men studying at Union. Members of the Student Wives Association were also involved in the formation of the Childcare Center, which opened in 1974 and had a reunion celebration in 1986.
