AWFA Annual
Awards: Nominations Due March 17
The
Association
of Women Faculty and Administrators (AWFA) invites you to nominate candidates for three annual awards.
These will be presented at the awards breakfast tentatively
scheduled for April 13 at 8 a.m. at the Sheraton Hotel.
Nominations are invited for the following awards:
The
Lenore Williams Award: In 1984, AWFA received a bequest
from Lenore Williams, wife of former provost Edwin B.
Williams. In her honor, AWFA established an award to
be given each year to an outstanding female scholar or
leader. Preference will be given to a distinguished woman,
affiliated with Penn, whose contributions extend within
and beyond our campus.
The
Alice Paul Awards: Named in honor of Dr. Alice Paul--suffragist
leader, founder of the National Women's Party, author
of the Equal Rights Amendment, Penn alumna, and internationally
known humanitarian--the awards are presented to undergraduate
or graduate women in recognition of their outstanding
service to women. We wish to honor those who made contributions
to women in the Penn community.
The
Robert E. Davies Award: This award is in honor of
the late feminist and distinguished Penn scholar. The
award will be bestowed on an individual involved in social
change.
The
Lynda Hart Award, established in Spring, 2001: The
award is given to a woman student who has made an outstanding
contribution to the artistic life of the Penn campus.
The award is in memory of Lynda Hart, professor of English,
who was a mentor to many and a moving force behind the
Women's Theater Festival.
