About AAUW Duluth
AAUW Duluth is a local branch of the American Association of University Women. Our members bring a wide range of professional, educational, and life experiences to the organization, united by a commitment to advancing equity.
Our branch has a long history of supporting educational opportunities, encouraging women and girls to pursue leadership, creating opportunities for thoughtful discussion, and engaging with issues affecting our community.
Our work takes many forms—from scholarships and educational programs to public-policy discussions, community events, focus groups, and opportunities for members to connect with one another.
We believe that meaningful change happens when people bring their knowledge, experience, curiosity, and energy together.
