Welcome to the University of Massachusetts Global Virtual Branch of AAUW 

The UMass global Virtual Branch of AAUW was founded in 2016 by two faculty members of University of Massachusetts Global (formerly Brandman University), Dr. Leigh Ann Wilson and Dr. Marnie Elam. The branch is completely online and open to members anywhere in the United States.

Our mission is to foster opportunities for inclusion, connections, and professional success among women and girls.

We also support AAUW at the national level in empowering women as individuals and as a community. For more than 130 years, AAUW has worked to improve the lives of millions of women and their families.
