This year, AAUW awarded the CAP Grant to Ithaca College for the following project:

TIA Talks: Addressing the Pay Gap Among Recent College Graduates

TIA stands for Teach, Initiate, Advocate! TIA Talks, inspired by the popular, award-winning TED Talks, are a series of presentations by some of Ithaca College’s most knowledgeable and inspirational speakers around the issue of gender equity. This series offers ideas to change attitudes and inspire action to eliminate the gender pay gap among new college graduates.
