A note to parents about activity fees: WAVS is entirely self-funded, and we do not recieve monies from the University for the community. The $150 activity fee collected from each student funds the programs, dinners, and speakers for the year.

Why should you belong to ?

The freshman year is a time of great adjustments from high school to college life. WAVS can help you successfully make that three AVS graduates transition. You will live and study with other women who are in your major. They will share the same coursework, test schedules, study groups, and club activities. It is an opportunity to make life-long friendships with other women who share your interests, dreams, and ambitions.
