Shaping a National Agenda for Women in Higher Education. The teleconference, which is being hosted by the University of Minnesota, will begin March 27 with a keynote speech by former UMass faculty member and administrator Johnnetta Cole, now Presidential Distinguished Professor of Anthropology, Women's Studies, and African American Studies at Emory University. A moderated panel discussion of that presentation will follow. The teleconference will be broadcast in the Massachusetts Room of the Mullins Center from 1-3 p.m., after which a panel of UMass deans and others will discuss implications for the Amherst campus. Local broadcast and participation in the teleconference is sponsored in part by the Faculty Senate Council on the Status of Women.
All events are free and open to the public.
