Honored Guests

Fall 2024

Please join us for the Women, Trans, & Non-Binary Faculty Mentoring Program’s Fall Reception. All are welcome!

We look forward to celebrating the career success of women, trans, and non-binary colleagues who are appointed to a leadership position or at a senior rank; who earn tenure; or who are promoted within the tenure, CHS, and clinical tracks.

We will also celebrate the career success of women, trans, and non-binary academic staff colleagues who are recognized with distinguished status; or who are appointed or promoted to a senior research professor, teaching professor, or professor of practice title.

We are building our list from available sources and welcome additional names or changes to a listing. We would appreciate your help in ensuring our list of honored guests is complete. To add a name or change a listing, please contact me. Many thanks!
