But they also have talents that are independent of their careers. With that in mind, for the past four years AAUW has hosted an art [...]

I Have a Secret

I secretly love to know something that no one else knows — to be the first. In my job at AAUW, much of what I do is behind the scenes. I don’t work directly with members that often. But once a year, that changes. As the website designer, I manage the AAUW Art Contest. After [...]

Last month, 33 Westchester Community College women participated in two $tart $mart workshops to learn concrete, pragmatic pay negotiation skills to help them avoid the still-prevalent gender pay gap. Women currently earn only 77 cents, on average, for every dollar that men earn. That translates to a lifetime pay gap of $1 million for college [...]

Less than six months ago, I never would have thought that I’d be making this announcement, but — this is truly exciting — AAUW will consult on an important research team focused on Gender Equity and the Role of Women in Cuban Society.

Laura Smiley Miller is a retired teacher from the Midwest who loves long drives in her convertible and motorcycle rides. Shannon Courtney Heard is an ambitious, recent college graduate and budding young professional. What could they possibly have in common? More than one may think. An unlikely friendship forged between the two due the philanthropy [...]
I’m a Bit Partial…

I can’t lie. I was just a little bit excited about attending Campaign College at the University of Connecticut, Storrs, since the institution is my alma mater. Instead of showing my school pride by regularly watching ESPN basketball, I had the opportunity through Campaign College to engage women on the campus in all the opportunities [...]

This past Christmas, my sister — with just a bit of hinting on my part — gave me the best-selling book, Half the Sky, by Pulitzer-prize winning journalists Nicholas Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn. And while I am passionate about women’s development (and was the one who blatantly asked for the book), with work, life, visitors, [...]

Campaign College at Loyola University in New Orleans! That’s right. Following all of these events was the training on February 20 about running for student government. Loyola student government officers LeeAnn Moss and Kristen Lee worked with Karen Reichard, director of the Women’s Resource Center, to bring the training to Loyola, one of ten 2010 [...]
