Welcome to OSU AWC!

The Association for Women in Communications (AWC) is a professional organization for women in the field of communications. We have our own student chapter of AWC at Oklahoma State University. This organization helps with networking, internships and advancing yourself in your chosen field. Whether you're a public relations advertising major, broadcast journalism, news editorial, sports media, marketing, speech, or an English major, everyone interested in the field of communications are encouraged to join AWC!

The Association for Women in Communications is one of the nation's oldest professional communications organizations. Founded in 1909 by seven female students who joined forces to write and publish the first women's edition of the college newspaper at the University of Washington in Seattle. Today's membership is more then 7,500 communicators in 60 professional and 75 student chapters. Women in Communications champions the advancement of women across all communications disciplines by recognizing excellence, promoting leadership and positioning its members at the forefront of the evolving communications era. Women in Communications invites women of all majors to join this ever growing organization.

Every semester the group takes a trip to a larger market in order to network and visit with professionals. In addition, we work with the Tulsa and Oklahoma City chapters of AWC to stay connected with communications professionals in Oklahoma. AWC offers students opportunities for scholarships, job shadowing, internships and employment information/connection.
