Leadership Programs Announced

Please share the fol­low­ing appli­ca­tions with col­lege stu­dents, admin­is­tra­tors, and rel­e­vant fac­ulty at col­leges and uni­ver­si­ties in your com­mu­nity, such as the staff of women’s and career centers.

Cam­pus Action Projects (CAP)

Over the past five years, CAP grants have enabled teams of stu­dent lead­ers and cam­pus fac­ulty nation­wide to design and imple­ment effec­tive pro­grams that address spe­cific bar­ri­ers to equity on their cam­puses or in their com­mu­ni­ties and have helped col­lege women grow as lead­ers. This year, CAP projects will address some of the bar­ri­ers girls and women face enter­ing and stay­ing in the STEM fields, par­tic­u­larly in physics, engi­neer­ing, and com­puter sci­ence, where the great­est gen­der dis­par­i­ties exist. Pro­pos­als must be sub­mit­ted by Octo­ber 16, 2009.

National Stu­dent Advi­sory Coun­cil (SAC)

Mem­bers of the SAC pro­vide AAUW staff with essen­tial first­hand accounts of stu­dent needs and with ideas for com­bat­ing sex dis­crim­i­na­tion in higher edu­ca­tion and the work­place. They also pro­mote AAUW and our pro­grams on their cam­pus, build ties to the local AAUW branch, con­tribute to the AAUW blog, and serve as stu­dent lead­ers at the National Con­fer­ence for Col­lege Women Stu­dent Lead­ers, held each June in Wash­ing­ton, D.C. Appli­ca­tions must be sub­mit­ted by Sep­tem­ber 30, 2009.

Cam­paign College

Cam­paign Col­lege is the only pro­gram in the coun­try that encour­ages and trains women to run for stu­dent gov­ern­ment on their col­lege cam­puses. We are accept­ing appli­ca­tions to host a cam­pus train­ing in spring 2010. Appli­ca­tions must be sub­mit­ted by Sep­tem­ber 30, 2009.
