Nominations Sought for University of Arkansas Extraordinary Women and Women Advocates

In an effort to spotlight University of Arkansas extraordinary women and women's advocates, the Chancellor's Commission on Women encourages all individuals on the U of A campus to consider recognizing such women and persons.

A University of Arkansas extraordinary woman is a woman who leads by example, is a role model, and is an inspiration for others. She empowers those around her and makes a positive impact on women's experiences on our campus in one of the following two categories: leadership or service/volunteerism. A women's advocate is an individual who has actively advanced, advocated or supported women's rights, equality and empowerment in a way that has had a positive impact on the lives of women on the University of Arkansas campus.

There is no deadline for nominations but the commission will meet to review the nominations received this fall and spring March 9.

Any member of the University of Arkansas community or a UA-based organization may nominate a person to be recognized as an extraordinary woman. Self-nominations will not be accepted. Please follow this link for nomination forms and information on eligibility and the recognition process.
