Description:
An organization open to all who have earned at least an A.A. degree or it's equivalent from an accredited college or university. AAUW helps graduates achieve excellence through continuing education, community involvement, the arts and legislation. Through its Educational Foundation the association provides fellowships for graduate study and research projects for women scholars in the United States and abroad. The Legal Advocacy Fund has worked for the last 20 years to support plaintiffs challenging sex discrimination and harrassment in colleges and universities. AAUW is the author of the 1991 report, "Initiative for Educational Equity," and the recent "Tenure Denied," available at www.aauw.org. The San Carlos branch, chartered in 1954, hosts general monthly meetings and has more than 20 Sections (interest groups). Board meetings are held the first Wednesday of every month, except July. The local chapter works with AAUW's Tech Trek (a science/technology camp for middle school girls) and HopeHouse (a halfway house for women).
