Women of Achievement Award

The Commission for Women seeks nominations for the Women of Achievement Awards.  These awards, to be presented at the Spring 2009 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.

Nomination forms should be emailed to Dr. Nancy Goslee (ngoslee@utk.edu).  For additional information, call Dr. Goslee at 974-6967. Nominations are due by February 16, 2009.  The Women of Achievement Awards Committee of the Commission for Women will review the nominations and select a winner.
