Penn ProWomen hosts an annual awards breakfast honoring the achievements
of women students, faculty and staff at Penn, including the Alice Paul
Awards, the Lynda Hart Awards, the Lenore Rowe Williams Award, the Robert
E. Davies Award and the Judith Seitz Rodin Prize.
The Penn Professional Women's Network seeks nominations for candidates for the following awards and prizes:
THE ALICE PAUL AWARDS
The Alice Paul Awards, named in honor of Dr. Alice Paul--suffragist leader,
founder of the National Women's Party, author of the Equal Rights Amendment,
and internationally known humanitarian-- are presented to undergraduate
or graduate women in recognition of their outstanding service to women.
We particularly wish to honor those who made contributions to women in
the Penn community.
THE LYNDA HART AWARD, established in Spring, 2001
The Lynda Hart Award is given to a woman student who has made an outstanding
contribution to the artistic life of the Penn campus. The award is in
memory of Lynda Hart, Professor of English, who was a mentor to many and
a moving force behind the Women's Theater Festival.
THE LENORE ROWE WILLIAMS AWARD
IN 1984, the Association of Women Faculty and Administrators (former name
of Penn Professional Women's Network) received a bequest from Lenore Williams,
wife of former provost Edwin B. Williams. In her honor, an award was established
to be given each year to an outstanding female scholar or leader. Preference
is given to distinguished women, affiliated with the University of Pennsylvania,
whose contributions extend within and beyond our campus.
THE ROBERT E. DAVIES AWARD:
This award is in honor of this late feminist and distinguished Penn scholar.
The award will be bestowed on an individual involved in social change.
THE JUDITH SEITZ RODIN PRIZE FOR INNOVATIVE LEADERSHIP
