Campus Action Projects
In June 2005, AAUW launched a new programmatic theme, "Education as the Gateway to Women's Economic Security." To create action on campus in response, AAUW’s Leadership and Training Institute supports Campus Action Projects.
The goals of this program are to implement exceptional projects that can begin to create an impact and affect change in the campus climate and provide an avenue for ongoing leadership training and support of women leaders. The Institute seeks partners at colleges and universities for this initiative.
To give campus professionals and students the necessary tools to help improve campus environments and learning outcomes, the Institute will select ten projects at universities around the country through a request for proposals process. Campuses selected for the Campus Action Project program will be chosen for the strength of their proposals and for their proactive efforts to foster student leadership.
Each CAP team will receive a grant of up to $5,000 and technical assistance from the national office to implement a campus-based program. These projects will help faculty, administrators, and students to design effective programs that enhance campus offerings, promote leadership, and improve academic and career outcomes. At the conclusion of the project, CAP teams will send a representative to present their outcomes at the National Conference for College Women Student Leaders.
