Mission

The Association for Faculty Women (AFW) is a broadly inclusive group that promotes successful, satisfying careers for women and other underrepresented genders and equity and inclusion across WSU. Everyone in the WSU community who supports the purpose and mission of AFW is encouraged to join.

The purpose of AFW is:

• To provide a means for faculty women to share mutual interests, activities, and concerns, particularly as they relate to the academic responsibilities of teaching, research, and service at WSU.
• To provide a structure through which issues that impact faculty women, as an academic group, are considered and addressed, particularly by providing input and recommendations to bodies including the University Administration, the Commission on the Status of Women, the WSU Faculty Senate, and university committees.
• To further the professional growth of faculty women through professional programs, state and national speakers, and consultants.
