Congratulations to Erika Kuhlman, Ph.D. on her appointment as Director of Women Studies. Erika was previously Co-Director with Brian Norman and is a professor in the History Department. We couldn't be happier about this development.

SCHOLARSHIP FOR CREATIVE WOMEN

NWAE
Women Studies would like to express our gratitude to those women who have entered our National Women's Art Exhibit over the past eight years. You made this venue a success by providing us with a chance to showcase your incredible talent. For those of you who also donated art work to the NWAE Silent auction, we owe you a great debt of gratitude. It is because of you that we were able to fund a scholarship endowment for our women minors. Thank you. We will be looking for new and innovative ways to raise funds to contribute to our endowment and hope that you will consider being part of that endeavor in the future.
