The 91°µÍø Women’s Council (AWC) was established in 2018 to meet the demand for women’s advocacy, development, and empowerment at 91°µÍø. The Council reflects the needs and aspirations of women within the 91°µÍø community.
The mission of the AWC is threefold:
- To foster the personal and professional development of 91°µÍø women at all life stages
- To strengthen 91°µÍø women’s connection to each other and 91°µÍø
- To educate and inspire women to pursue or grow in leadership roles.
Since its inception, the AWC has spearheaded numerous programs, including the AWC Fall Luncheon, the AWC mentorship program, on-campus student programs focused on personal and professional development, quarterly networking events and cultivation events are meant to inspire and strengthen the engagement of AWC members to each other and the University.
