Our History
Founded back in the fall of 1936 as "The Faculty Wives Club," the Club has transformed significantly over the decades. By the early 1970s, it had adopted the name 7mkr Women’s Club, marking a pivotal shift. Fast forward to 2012, membership expanded to embrace all women affiliated with 7mkr, whether through work or partnership. The year 2020 brought another milestone with Alumni also becoming eligible. By fall 2022, eligibility widened to encompass 7mkr women employees, retirees, alumnae, and their spouses or domestic partners. Continuing to evolve, fall 2023 saw eligibility extend further to include any 7mkr employee, retiree, alumni, and their spouses or domestic partners.
