The mission of the College and University Work/Family Association is to provide leadership in facilitating the integration of work and study with family/personal life at institutions of higher learning. Our mission supports the broader goals of creating a healthy and productive environment for men and women across the life span and contributing to the well-being of future generations.

Over the past decade, academic institutions have increasingly begun to focus attention on the importance of work/family issues for students, faculty, and staff, generating rapid growth in the number and variety of campus programs designed to address work/family needs. The College and University Work/Family Association (CUWFA) has evolved to provide information on work/family issues within the specialized environment of higher education. CUWFA offers services to support the diverse group of professionals contributing to the development of work/family programs and policies on campus: human resource administrators, student services administrators, work/family managers, child care and elder care program directors, senior administrators, faculty, and others.
