Lady Doak College, a premier
Christian Institution and the first Women's College in Madurai, was
the brainchild of Ms.Katie Wilcox, an American missionary with a vision
and fervor for women
empowerment.
The College made its humble genesis in 1948, and within a short span
of time, in 1978, it was commissioned to function as an autonomous
college, being affiliated to the Madurai Kamaraj University. As an
Ecumenical Christian College whose purpose is to impart quality education
of Christian character to students of all creeds, this college strives
to develop their intellectual powers, locate, identify and cultivate
their interests and talents and train them to be responsible and useful
citizens. The college, presently, functions as a unit of Katie Wilcox
Education Association and stands distinguished as one of the pioneering
autonomous colleges in India.
