CU Women Succeeding: Call for proposals, award nominations
The Faculty Council Women's Committee has announced a call for proposals for the 14th annual CU Women Succeeding Symposium and nominations for the 2015 Elizabeth D. Gee Memorial Lectureship Award.
Deadline for submissions is 5 p.m. Nov. 13.
The 2016 event is Feb. 25-26 at the University of Colorado Colorado Springs; registration will open Nov. 2. The keynote address will be delivered by E. Jill Pollock, vice president and executive adviser for CU.
Leann Morgan, chair of the Faculty Council Women’s Committee, said the event will begin the evening of Thursday, Feb. 25, with a Restorative Retreat, open to women and men and sponsored by the UCCS Faculty Assembly Women’s Committee. The retreat will include professional development and networking, StrengthsQuest training in leadership, dinner, cash bar and chair massages.
The UCCS Faculty Assembly Women’s Committee also is developing an online kit with tourism information and travel resources for faculty and staff from across the system who will be traveling to Colorado Springs for the two-day event and may want to extend their stay in the area.
Morgan said donations collected at the symposium will benefit the Art of War project, founded by CU Denver fine arts major and student veteran Curtis Bean. The Denver-based nonprofit aims to inspire hope and contribute to the health and well-being of veterans who are coping with PTSD by providing them a positive outlet through art.
More details on the symposium will be announced in the coming weeks.
