Deadlines for the American Association of University Women (AAUW) Leadership Program applications are approaching!
Dickinson is an AAUW
College/University partner member, so you receive preference for all of these
incredible programs!
Elect Her—Campus Women Win, a collaboration between AAUW and Running Start,
encourages and trains young women to run for student government on their
campuses. Apply to be one of our new campuses to host a session in spring 2012.
Applications are available now and must be submitted by September 30, 2011.
Selections will be announced October 7, 2011.
Each year, AAUW selects 10 outstanding college student leaders from around the
nation to be AAUW campus ambassadors and to advise AAUW on student issues. SAC
members participate in monthly conference call discussions on leadership and
campus issues, contribute to the AAUW
blog,
promote AAUW programs, and build ties to their local AAUW branch. SAC members
visit AAUW in Washington, D.C., in the fall for a two-day retreat and
orientation, and they fulfill leadership roles at the
National Conference for College Women Student Leaders.
Applications to serve on the SAC are available now and must be submitted by
September 30, 2011. The new SAC will be announced October 7, 2011.
This year's CAP grant program focuses on the issues raised by AAUW's upcoming
November 2011 research report, "Crossing the Line: Sexual Harassment in
Schools." The report includes nationally representative data about the
sexual harassment that occurs in grades 7-12. To put our research into practice,
teams of student leaders and campus faculty nationwide may apply for up to
$5,000 in CAP grants to design and implement programs using recommendations
from the report, found in the Request for Proposals. Proposal goals may include
raising awareness about sexual harassment and/or improving schools' prevention
methods and responsiveness to sexual harassment. Applications are available now
and must be submitted by October 21, 2011. Applicants will be contacted by
December 2, 2011. (AAUW College/University partner members receive preference.)
Find information about these and other campus opportunities in the leadership
programs section of the AAUW website.
