The American Association of University Women (AAUW) empowers women and girls through advocacy, education, philanthropy, and research. Our nonpartisan, nonprofit organization has more than 170,000 members and supporters across the United States, as well as 1,000 local branches and 800 college and university partners. Since AAUW’s founding in 1881, our members have examined and taken positions on the fundamental issues of the day — educational, social, economic, and political.

The Columbus (MS) Affiliate holds regular meetings during the academic year on the campus of Mississippi University for Women, which is an AAUW University Partner institution. Membership is open to all MUW students and community members- you do not need to be affiliated with the university to join us! Please visit our Facebook page for up-to-date notices about meetings and other activities.
