AAUW at HCC Student Fest 2024
Several SCC AAUW members visited with students, faculty and friends at the 2024 HCC Student Success Event, Tuesday, February 13, 2024 at the HCC campus.
Sally Dittman created a great game of questions and answers for our booth visitors! The students indicated they learned a lot, and of course they thoroughly enjoyed the prize, candy! One of the questions was: Who is the first Female President of HCC? Answer-Answer- Dr. Jennifer Wells China, PHD. 1st female President of HCC South Shore Campus.

Summer 2023 Events
This past Tuesday we had a wonderful gathering with new members Peggy Hannon, Jacqueline Brown, Amy MacDougall, Mary Sadowski, and Laura Butler at Sue’s home. Board members Orene Brown, Angie Maze, and Patsie Ginley attended as well. Personal histories were shared and common connections were found. Peggy and Laura discovered that they had both taught in Department of Defense Schools in the far east and knew some of the same people. Small world! We all felt a common connection and want to do this kind of thing again. See pictures below.

January is the national month to highlight this problem and to seek solutions.
