Its main purpose is to establish friendships among the faculty and students of the College of Home Economics and to promote professional attitudes and interests. The club plans and carries out activities to promote the program of work and the club. Members plan programs that strive to develop their skills and increased their knowledge, widen their cultural interests, and give experience both professionally and socially to benefit the community, school and nation.
