Greetings!
The Board of the University of Akron Women in Higher Education is seeking to encourage you and members of your department to join our organization. We invite all faculty, staff, graduate students and retirees to join us. I am attaching the 2011-2012 membership form for completion by interested parties and which should be mailed to Connie Heldenfels, Treasurer, WIHE at +1401 at their earliest convenience.
It is always exciting to start a new academic year and I am excited for the events and programs that will be held this year! As a professional organization to the women (and men!) of the University’s campus community, we are always looking for innovative ideas, anyone interested in building their development opportunities, and campus community members who want to network, socialize, and enjoy the company of those we work as we continue to develop ourselves as individuals and professionals!
Throughout this website you will find officer contact information, schedules of events, pictures from previous events, and membership information. Please feel free to contact us with any questions or suggestions as we want YOU to feel like you are part of an organization that has a lasting impact on you! Remember, even small endeavors have a large impact. Every seemingly little bit of time and effort will go a long way toward making this a memorable, enriching, and fun year!
Thank you so much for considering this information. If anyone has questions please don't hesitate to contact me at x6596 or bjb@uakron.edu.
Cordially,
Bonnie Bromley
