 Testimonial from a 2023 NCCWSL attendee

“I have never been in such a supportive environment where women are welcome to share their beliefs and can see common ground on just about every issue. The people I met were phenomenal and I made so many meaningful connections and learned how to advocate for myself and others in order to create more equitable spaces.”  ~ Caroline Connolly, UW-River Falls

In 2023, AAUW-WI supported five women from Wisconsin who were awarded $1000 each to attend NCCWSL. In addition, local AAUW branches underwrote an additional seven NCCWSL scholarship attendees.

AAUW’s mission is to advance equity for women and girls

through advocacy, education, and research.
