AAUW Louisiana On Campus

Louisiana has set up several Facebook groups for our Louisiana colleges in hopes that enough local AAUW interest can be generated that eventually an active campus affiliate group might be formed.

If your college is one of the AAUW university partners, then students may join AAUW as a student affiliate for FREE! Check to see if your school is an AAUW College / University Partner; or join as a student affiliate.
