Connect-4-Success is the outreach component of the Woman’s Club Risa Zwerling Wrighton Scholarship Endowment. This group focuses on scholarship recipients, working partnership with University College, to help these students achieve success in school, work and life. Key to this effort is getting to know recipients and building a sense of community among Risa Scholars.
If you are interested in helping to plan social and networking events for these students, please call one of the co-chairs. Your involvement will help us create meaningful and engaging opportunities for this special group of University College students.

The Elizabeth Danforth Butterfly Garden Committee and volunteers are the caretakers of this garden for students, faculty, and staff on the Danforth Campus of Washington University at the intersection of Forsyth and Wallace across from the Danforth University Center.
Our volunteers work in the garden every Tuesday morning each week from early spring to late fall, weather permitting. We would be delighted to welcome anyone interested in helping. No commitment is necessary; we all come when our schedules permit. Call or email us for additional information.
The garden is a service project begun by the Woman’s Club in 1996 to honor Elizabeth Danforth, the wife of former Chancellor William H. Danforth. The committee has developed the garden for over 20 years, adding benches, picnic tables, an arbor, and planting 89 native trees and shrubs plus many flowering plants needed by butterflies.
Our longtime supporters gather each year in early May to plant many flats of flowers that the butterflies love and to enjoy each other’s company in the spring sunshine.
