The American Association of University Women Diversity Committee together with the Community Diversity Group is announcing the second annual mentoring program. The purpose of the AAUW/CDG Mentoring Program is to enhance the inclusion of local women from underrepresented groups in the State College communities by connecting them with others who can provide friendship and advice on a variety of issues, including networking, career planning, and community involvement. If you are interested in becoming a mentor or protégé, please complete and submit an application. They are available on the websites listed below or you can call for information. Applications are due by January 15, 2009.

AAUW is a nationwide grassroots organization of more than 100,000 members dedicated to promoting equity for all women and girls, lifelong education, and positive societal change. AAUW is made up of three corporations: the Association, the Educational Foundation, and the Legal Advocacy Fund. Each of these was set up to work with members to remove the obstacles – financial, legal and social – faced by women and girls.

In principle and practice, AAUW values and seeks a diverse membership. There shall be no barriers to full participation in this organization on the basis of gender, race, creed, sexual orientation, disability, or class. Membership is not by invitation.
