4. AAUW PARTNER MEMBERS Christine:
Approximately 850 colleges and universities have joined AAUW as a college/university partner member institution.
About 80% of all AAUW C/U partner members are 4-year institutions. This year, our community college C/U number has risen by 35 new C/U partners. We hope to see that grow with the release of our latest report.

5. AAUW STUDENT MEMBERS Angie:
Partner members and branches are encouraged to recruit e-student affiliates. You can easily sign up students through a simple online form linked from the AAUW website. State and branch C/U officers are able to see who is an e-student affiliate in their state by visiting the Member Services Database online.

6. AAUW STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS
Angie:
In addition to e-student affiliate growth, we are also seeing an increase in interest of AAUW student organizations. There are 13 registered AAUW student organizations. Pictured here is our student organization at Oklahoma State University. Student organizations are a growing program in college and university relationships. Forming an AAUW student organization is easier than ever with a program in a box available online.

7. C/U PARTNER PROGRAM Membership runs from July 1 through June 30
Two C/U representatives per C/U partner member. Each rep. receives free national AAUW membership.
Two big changes in 2013:
Christine:
The membership cycle begins on July 1 and runs through June 30.
Each C/U partner is allowed to sign up to two representatives. Those representatives receive free national AAUW membership and special communication from the national office.
There were two big changes in 2013:
The 130th anniversary campaign helped to bring 160 colleges and universities by the end of the campaign on November 30, Now, new partner members can join at a promotional rate of $125. With colleges able to receive up to two free national individual memberships worth $49 each for their campus representatives, it makes financial sense to join AAUW.
We have also switched from a progressive dues rate for college/university partner members to a flat rate of $175.  This means that all partner member campuses will renew membership at the flat rate of $175.  Colleges or universities that have had lapsed membership since 2011 or later may rejoin at the flat rate of $ This should make recruiting new partners more effective and simpler.

8. WHY AAUW ON CAMPUS? Our history Our membership Our mission Angie:
Our History: AAUW was founded in 1881 by women graduates of America’s colleges and universities. We continue to honor our relationship with the academic community today by working to create even stronger ties with students, faculty, and staff and offering effective tools and programming that supplements their important.
Our Membership: Today, membership is open to anyone holding an associate’s, bachelor’s, or higher degree from a regionally accredited college or university. Over two million individuals graduated with an associate’s or bachelor’s degree in 2010, which makes our pool for membership wide open. We know that programs like e-student affiliation, help to build a pipeline into AAUW membership.

Student organizations. Molly Turner and her mother are pictured in this photo. In a recent article about AAUW student organizations, Molly shared, “I’ve always been involved in AAUW.
