Call for Nominations - Women of Achievement Awards
(Nomination Deadline - February 15, 2008)
The Commission for Women seeks nominations for the Women of Achievement
Awards. These awards, to be presented at the Spring 2008 Chancellor's
Honors Banquet, will honor women who have, through extraordinary
accomplishments in either a traditional or non-traditional area,
significantly improved the status of women within the University
community. Categories include staff (exempt and non-exempt), faculty,
and students (graduate and undergraduate). Traditional areas include
disciplines or tasks in which women have historically found employment
such as teaching English composition or managing a day-care center.
Non-traditional areas include fields in which women are still pioneers,
such as nuclear engineering or aerospace studies. Whatever the field
or responsibility, each woman who performs with professional excellence
and who mentors other women to do so, indeed improves the status
of women.
Call
for Nominations - UT Notable Woman Award
(Nomination Deadline - December 7, 2007)
The
Commission for Women recognized its first Notable UT Woman in 1995
after a suggestion from then University Historian, Dr. Milton Klein,
recommended that outstanding women connected with the University
be honored on an annual basis.
The award recognizes women from three rotating categories: administrator,
alumnae, faculty and staff. The honoree will be selected by Commission
members from a slate prepared by the Notable UT Women Committee.
The 2007 award will honor a notable woman who is a current or past
administrator of the University of Tennessee.
For more information, contact Margaret Crawford at 974-4422.
