When I’m studying for a calculus test at 2 a.m. or fighting a losing battle with a computer I’m programming, attending college doesn’t seem like a blessing. I sometimes forget how lucky I am to have the resources and the opportunity to pursue a university degree. Recently, I snapped out of my complacency slump when [...]

My daughter, who is almost 6, recently told me a story about how her teacher addressed a situation where a classmate with a physical disability was excluded from an activity by her peers. After explaining that we are all “made differently” and face different challenges, she asked the class, “What makes you different?” My daughter [...]

Stories about AAUW Fellowships and Grants alumnae come to my attention in unique ways —through Google searches, books in the office, word of mouth, and even chance encounters. In October 2011, an AAUW delegation traveled to South Africa, where participants engaged in AAUW’s rich tradition of opening opportunities for dialogue and action and building a [...]

As another record-shattering month for AAUW Dialog draws to a close, we would like to highlight some of January’s most popular posts: AAUW hosted a “tweet-up” with Secretary of Education Arne Duncan.
