Women of Achievement Award

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.

Nomination forms are available on the Commission for Women website: http://cfw.utk.edu Mail completed forms, and additional sheets if necessary, to:  Dr. Nancy Goslee ( ngoslee@utk.edu ) , 411A McClung Tower, Campus 37996-0430, or fax to 974-6926. Nominations are due by February 15, 2008.  

The Women of Achievement Awards Committee of the Commission for Women will review the nominations and select a winner.
