NSU supports gender equality through the American Association of University Women, which has a student club and professional branch.
Randi Sims, professor of management and president of NSU’s AAUW branch, said all NSU students are eligible for a free national membership that offers scholarships and workshops students can take online.
“AAUW is a national organization that was founded in 1881, and its mission is to promote gender equity for women and girls through education, advocacy and research,” Sims said.
The AAUW gets involved with other diversity programs on campus, like the Student Leadership Office, to spread awareness on gender equality.
Sims suggests students become more engaged with their community to stay up-to-date with women’s equality.
“There are a lot of things happening in laws and in politics and in the business world that really impact the rights and equity treatment of women. A lot of times people just don’t know about it. They don’t know what’s happening,” Sims said.
To become more involved, students can engage with other NSU groups that support women.
