Stories from the Student Organization Community
“As an AAUW student organization leader, I advocate for women, feminism, and social justice on campus and in my local community.”
— Theresa Johnson, Lock Haven University

“I founded our AAUW student organization after attending NCCWSL. It has changed my whole college experience by giving me a voice.”
