Students

AWC Austin is invested in helping future communications professionals to grow and succeed. Each year, AWC Austin selects a deserving college undergraduate to receive the Jo Caldwell Meyer Scholarship. The scholarship is awarded at the organization’s annual Banner Brunch event in May.

AWC Austin supports the work of the student chapters at the University of Texas at Austin and Texas State University in San Marcos  by providing guest speakers, assisting with professional development events and posting internship opportunities. In 2010 the Texas State Student Chapter was recognized by AWC National with the Outstanding Student Chapter Award. Members also have the opportunity to serve as mentors to the students in AWC Austin’s E-mentoring Program.

E-Mentoring Program
The AWC Austin E-Mentoring Program is designed to provide information, encouragement and support to members of the AWC UT student chapter. Students are matched in one-on-one e-mentoring relationships with professional members. The program is designed to make mentoring convenient for mentors and students alike, allowing participants to easily communicate on a regular basis via email. All paying members of The University of Texas at Austin and Texas State University AWC student chapters are eligible to participate in the program.

Mentors who choose to participate will be assigned at least one student mentee who is interested in studying or working in the same professional field as the mentor. Matches are also based on similar backgrounds and interests.

If you are interested in participating in the E-mentoring Program or serving as a speaker for the student chapter meetings, please email our student chapter liaison at students@awcaustin.org.
