faculty & curriculum Fund
Ensuring Academic Excellence
AUW's academic program focuses on critical thinking, effective communication, leadership development, and the professional skills graduates need to actively engage in shaping their societies' futures.
AUW faculty are drawn from around the world and work in small classes with a diverse group of promising women. Recognition for significant benefactors is based on individual preferences, but could include named chairs or programs, as well as invitations to participate in special academic programs and meet with faculty.
