WELCOME TO CCC !

Welcome to the College Club of Cincinnati!

Imagine an oasis of fellowship, learning, and engaging conversation where the stresses and concerns of daily life recede. Imagine intelligent, caring, accomplished women gathering to enjoy stimulating programs, opportunities for philanthropy, and delightful luncheons. Imagine a gracious, well-appointed environment that also is friendly and welcoming.

For College Club members and their guests, it’s not a matter of imagination – it’s a reality that has endured for more than a century. As we enter our 131^st year, I am more grateful than ever to our members for making this tradition possible.

Again this year, the Program Committee, under the leadership of Sue Eades, has developed an outstanding array of speakers and performances for us to enjoy – and thanks to Yearbook Chair Cindy Browne, you can read all about them in your 2023-24 Yearbook.

We begin the year with a “sentimental journey” through the life of Cincinnati native Doris Day, as a professional singer and a speaker from the Cincinnati Museum Center highlight her life story through 10 songs.

Our annual November philanthropy opportunity will highlight the Cincinnati Scholar House, an affordable housing community in Walnut Hills for low-income single parents attending post-secondary education. January’s program will focus on the influence of social media, especially on young people.

And not to be missed are our popular holiday musical programs – this year showcasing The Hills of Kentucky Dulcimers in December and the Norwood High School Show Choir in April.

Despite the real challenges confronting our community, nation and world, I always feel a little lighter after our Saturday afternoons together, and I hope you do too. If so, I hope you will consider introducing College Club to your friends and encouraging them to become a member.

Let’s make it a wonderful year!

15 Apr 2023 TRANSATLANTIS: WHERE MUSIC EMBRACES TWO CONTINENTS 4/15/2023 11:30 AM - 2:00 PM

The music of jazz guitarist Sylvain’s group is both fresh and attractive, yet also familiar. This is because the compositions, all original, draw from many diverse styles. This kind of “world music” is all tied together by lyrically crafted melodies, choice harmonies, and Sylvain’s French vocals – vocals that can be wistful (N’fais pas d’betises) to positively gritty (New Orleans).

Lifelong Learning

A wide range of carefully selected, thought-provoking programs stimulate the mind and inspire the soul of College Club members. A typical year includes programs focusing on local and national current events, history, culture, dance and musical performances – and a hilarious show featuring the club’s own thespians.

Luncheon Meetings

Delicious chef-prepared luncheons precede every College Club program, served on elegant table settings with linens and china plates. Table centerpieces creatively fashioned by College Club members – often with a seasonal theme – add a gracious touch.

Scholarships

Since the College Club’s creation more than 100 years ago, its members have cherished the role of higher education in their lives. Club members continue to give back to the next generation of young women through college scholarships that support their education.

A Proud History

The College Club of Cincinnati was founded in 1892, when female college graduates were rare. The original members committed to organizing as a club for the purposes of fellowship; intellectual and cultural growth; philanthropy; and civic service, which in the early days included assisting settlement houses in the community. In current endeavors, the club remains true to the spirit of its proud tradition.
