Welcome to the Association for Women's Empowerment Webpage!
The Association for Women's Empowerment (A.W.E.) is our new name, but we are still a group of individuals that are interested in learning more about issues concerning women. We discuss anything related to women and provide a safe space for all people.
We meet on Mondays at 7:30 PM. Men are welcome, too!

Co-sponsored by the Women’s Center and the Office of Social Equity WCU has a brand new sexual misconduct policy that you need to know about, and we need your help spreading the word to others. Attend a brief presentation on some details like how, when, and where to report sexual misconduct. Then, decorate an umbrella with what you learned. We’ll display the decorated umbrellas all around campus for RAINN Day on September 27th. Educate yourself! Help others!

November 5 : Co-sponsored by the Women's Center Looking for an easy way to distribute your ideas?
