The UT Commission for Women (CFW) is a body appointed by the Chancellor
to advise on planning, implementation, and evaluation of University
programs, policies, and services designed to improve the status
of women on the Knoxville Campus. The Commission, in its role as
an advocacy group, is committed to the advancement of women students,
faculty and staff at the UT Institute of Agriculture, UT Medical
Center, and The University of Tennessee, Knoxville.
- Call
for Nominations - UT Notable Woman Award
(Nomination Deadline - January 6, 2010)
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 2009 award will honor
a present or past faculty member of the University of Tennessee.
