AAUW’s many funds, including named fellowships, research and project grants, and
the Legal Advocacy Fund, provide the means
to advance education, research, and selfdevelopment for women and to foster equity

Making a difference for women
and girls since 1923
Founded in 1923, the Las Cruces branch is
the oldest branch in the state of New Mexico.
It includes members with diverse interests,
educations, and backgrounds.
We hold general membership meetings monthly
from September through
June, featuring topical programs. In March, we
sponsor Girls Can!!, a career exploration conference for sixth-grade girls
throughout Doña Ana County. This conference emphasizes what girls can do if they
complete their educations.
