Tuesday, April 4, 2017, marks the day until which the average US woman must work to earn the same 2016 salary as her male counterpart earned in the calendar year. It’s also a powerful occasion to raise awareness about and organize action around the gender pay gap. Join with AAUW Murfreesboro to “celebrate” Equal Pay Day 2017.

Equali-TEA

Our inaugural high tea fundraiser celebrating women’s contribution to the workforce is happening just one week after Equal Pay Day. Show your support for pay equity by reserving your seat today and making a donation to fund AAUW scholarships for nontraditional women students at MTSU.
