Call for Nominations

Notable Women of ETSU
2008

I invite you, on behalf of the Women’s Studies Program, to nominate someone for the Notable Women of ETSU award. We are privileged to have on our campus numerous women academics whose expertise has had an impact in the region and far beyond it.  To honor these women and their work, Women’s Studies will present its Seventh Annual Notable Women of ETSU colloquium next fall.  

The purpose of the award and colloquium is to honor and celebrate notable women by:   1) exposing ETSU and the surrounding community to the expertise and accomplishments of women academics on our campus; 2) providing a forum for the exchange of ideas and research that are generated by women faculty, and 3) identifying those women at ETSU whose work has advanced our understanding of women and their lives.  Honorees will contribute in notable ways to one or more of these goals. Previous honorees are: Dr. Peggy Cantrell and Dr. Maria Niederberger (2007); Dr. Theresa Lura and Dr. Mary Hooks (2006); Dr. Teresa Haynes and Dr. Rebecca Pyles (2005); Dr. Patricia Robertson and Dr. Roberta Herrin (2004); Dr. Wilsie Bishop and Dr. Elizabeth McCord (2003); and Dr. Joyce Duncan and Dr. Susan Grover (2002).

Please consider whom you might nominate for this esteemed award. Nominations will be accepted through Friday, March 14, 2008.  Two honorees will be selected as our 2008 Notable Women of ETSU by vote of the Women’s Studies Steering Committee and will be announced in April of 2008.

To nominate a notable woman: Send CV and one letter or email of nomination (no more than four pages).  The nomination letter should complement the CV rather than duplicate its contents by specifically addressing the points below.

1)   The nominee’s name, title, academic rank, and departmental affiliation

2)   Why you believe she is a Notable Woman of ETSU, including:

-How she contributes to the campus and/or larger community

-How her professional work or personal journeys/stories inspire women or influence their lives.

-How she has contributed to her discipline or area of interest in terms of service, teaching, administration, and “unsung” areas, as well as research.

Questions and nominations can be sent via email to: womenstudies@etsu.edu

I look forward to your nominations and to celebrating the notable women on our campus with you.
