 Have You Heard? |
 We've formed our own Southern Idaho Chapter of the American Association for Women in Community Colleges (AAWCC).
What is AAWCC?
It is the national organization that is guided in all of its endeavors by a firm commitment to equity and excellence in education and employment for women in community colleges. AAWCC values and promotes women in leadership, equity and economic independent, and serve at all levels.
Women began to be the majority among undergraduate students since the 1980s, but only made up about 10% of the college presidents. Fast forward 30 years, women still make up the vast majority of undergraduate students, however only 26% of college presidents are women. Here at CSI, those demographics are ringing a similar tune.
Our chapter has created four committees as we move forward to increase the representation of women in leadership roles; educate, cooperate, elevate, and celebrate.
