This is the nineteenth in a series of annual receptions honoring women in leadership positions on the UW-Whitewater campuses. Each year, the Women’s Issues Committee “Women* in Leadership” program will highlight women* in different kinds of leadership roles. Notably, the Women’s Issues Committee recognizes that no single phrase will capture the diversity of identities related to gender, gender identities, gender expression or their intersections. Nominations are welcomed for trans* and genderqueer identified individuals.
Pictured above are the 2017 Women in Leadership Awardees and event organizers.
In the spring of 2008, the Chancellor and the Provost authorized and funded the Gender Equity Report. Faculty members from the Women's Issues Committee collaborated with representatives from university administration and the Office of Institutional Research to form the Gender Equity Task Force in order to complete this report. The goal of the project is to initiate improved gender equity for students, staff, faculty, and administrators across campus.
