About Graduate Women's Association at ASU
Based in Tempe, Arizona, the Graduate Women's Association serves as a vital support network for graduate students at Arizona State University, championing the success and wellbeing of the entire graduate community. Founded on the principle that graduate students need comprehensive support during all phases of their academic careers, the organization has established itself as a cornerstone of student life on campus. The Graduate Women's Association recognizes that while certain challenges disproportionately affect women in graduate programs, the solutions and support systems benefit all students regardless of gender identity.
The organization's mission extends beyond academic support to encompass career development and long-term professional growth. Graduate Women's Association members find themselves part of a welcoming community that values diverse perspectives and experiences. The association actively works to create spaces—both formal and informal—where graduate students can engage in meaningful dialogue, share experiences, and build lasting professional relationships that extend well into their careers.
What sets the Graduate Women's Association apart is its commitment to inclusivity and its recognition that organizational strength comes from the participation of men, women, and other genders working together toward common goals. The group's achievement of ASU's Commission on the Status of Women 2014 Outstanding Achievement and Contribution Award reflects its dedication to creating positive change within the university community. For graduate students in Tempe seeking mentorship, professional development, community connection, and support navigating both academic challenges and career transitions, the Graduate Women's Association offers a comprehensive network of resources, experienced peers, and institutional knowledge that makes the graduate experience more fulfilling and successful.
