English in Action 
Visiting international students, scholars and/or spouses are invited to participate in our volunteer program, known as English in Action. A volunteer from the University Women’s Club will meet on a weekly basis for an hour with the participant. The program consists of an informal, non-structured meeting which gives the scholar, student or spouse an opportunity to practice conversational English and ask questions about the community. The meeting time and place will be arranged between the participant and the volunteer. Meetings between students and volunteers can be virtual or in person, depending on the preference of the people involved. We don’t have group meetings for volunteers. There is no charge for this program. It is not a class, but a one-to-one conversation.
New members welcomed

MONTHLY OUTINGS
UCSC Events focuses on bringing the campus and the community together. Members are invited to attend campus lectures and presentations in science, music, art, film and theater. It’s an opportunity for those who are unfamiliar with the campus to partner with those of us who know our way around a bit. Members take turns checking the UCSC CAMPUS EVENTS CALENDAR: https://events.ucsc.edu/all?page=1 to review the upcoming events, choose one to "host" and then email the group to coordinate a meet-up to carpool to campus. We meet at convenient locations off-campus and carpool to events together. Members are welcome to bring a friend who may not yet be a Women’s Club member but who would like to meet others and attend some campus events. Come join us.
