AAUW NJ President's Message
 
January 2019
An exciting 2019 ahead!
As we start the new year, I would like to share news and ask for your participation in AAUW NJ's events and special projects. Don't forget to get the AAUW logo in pictures of your events and meetings, then share them on our Facebook page. Logos for each Branch can be downloaded from the AAUW Member Services Database (MSD) .

At Fall Focus over 50 members, guests and students learned how we can inspire and be inspired by each other. All attendees received hand-held banners. If your branch doesn't have a couple, let us know. These are great to keep in your purse or car and keep AAUW in the picture!

Our focus for this year will be recruiting, mentoring and supporting the women who will be influential and lead our future mission efforts, which is critical to the continued success of our organization. Come to the annual meeting to empower and be empowered.
Tween Tech Success!

Congratulations to Stockton University, Atlantic County Branch and Cape May Branch on a very successful AAUW NJ Tween Tech event on January 4th. About 250 middle school girls participated in a day of hands-on science and technology workshops. Tween Tech received favorable coverage from two local media outlets:


The AAUW Madison Branch and the College Club of Summit
are holding a joint meeting at the Madison Public Library, Chase Room beginning at 7PM. 

February 4, 2019

The program will be: “The Evolution of Title IX In Higher Education” Presented by: Emily Ralph, J.D., LMSW, Title IX Coordinator at Drew University

AAUW NJ members and their guests are invited to attend this meeting. The lecture will include information on the new proposed rules that will, if passed, change the way colleges respond to Title IX incidents. Come and enjoy an evening with other AAUW members and learn more about Title IX and the changes that may happen with the current law.

Advance reservations are not required. The Madison Public Library is located at 39 Keep Street, Madison, NJ. The phone # is 973-377-0722.

Each year the AAUW N ational C onference for C ollege W omen S tudent L eaders (pronounced nick-whistle) brings together young women to learn about today’s most pressing issues and develop new leadership skills while expanding on their current skills. They are inspired by prominent women leaders and make lifelong connections with peers across the country.

AAUW NJ is proud to be sponsoring McKenna Wardell, a third year Rutgers student. Many branches sponsor one or more students each year - these accomplished and ambitious women report that the experience is indeed life-changing. If your branch is not already supporting our future women leaders this way, go to https://www.nccwsl.org/ for more information. Save $120 if you register by February 15 (you can register without knowing the specific student you are sponsoring).
