Hi there — and welcome!

We’re so glad you’re here and excited to introduce you to the official blog of Lake/Sumter (FL) Branch of the American Association of University Women.

Who We Are

We are proud to be part of an organization committed to advancing equity for women and girls through education, research, and advocacy. Our local branch focuses on education — one of the most powerful tools for change.

We offer:

STEM camperships to rising 8th grade girls, helping spark curiosity and confidence in science, technology, engineering, and math.
College scholarships to women completing their baccalaureate degrees, supporting their journeys and empowering their futures.

We created this blog to share more of the why behind what we do — and the who. We'll be lifting up the voices of the women and girls we support, shining a light on the impact of our programs, and offering ways for you to get involved and stay inspired.

Here on the blog, you’ll find:

Updates on our learning programs, Tech Trek, and College Scholarships
Spotlights on our members, volunteers, and scholarship recipients
