Mission and Work of the Faculty Women’s Association
The ASU Faculty Women’s Association (FWA) is an organization that has been an active advocate for supporting the success of all faculty on the ASU campus since 1954. Initially created to advance the status and participation of women in the university system, FWA is dedicated to advocating for changes in policies and practices on campus to support the career advancement and leadership development of all faculty at all ranks. Guided by the principles of the ASU Charter, FWA is committed to justice equity, diversity and inclusion.
Working in close partnership with the Office of the University Provost, the FWA supports ASU faculty by providing a wide variety of development workshops, networking opportunities and recognition for the success of faculty and academics at all levels. Much of this is accomplished through FWA programming and events, which includes workshops, leadership training, receptions, networking lunches and our annual awards program.
The Faculty Women’s Association is led by the FWA President, President-Elect and an Executive Board representing faculty of all ranks, and a variety of disciplines, colleges, and units.
All members of the Faculty Women’s Association have an active voice in shaping how the FWA can best serve our university community and encouraged to share their thoughts, ideas, and suggestions to the FWA by emailing fwa@asu.edu.
