In October, the University s Council of Women s Groups celebrated our first decade at its annual luncheon for women. An exhibit on the history and contributions of IROW and its Faculty Associates was displayed for a month in the University Library. After visiting Albany and five other U.S. universities with recognized women s studies programs, Dr. Fine Knowles is preparing a report for Ford on successful strategies in building women s research centers. A discussion with the filmmaker and other scholars will follow. For details of this program and others, as well as how to order an IROW anniversary tee shirt, see the IROW web page.
Many people deserve thanks for IROW s recent successes.
For recent internal funding, we are indebted to Initiatives for Women, the College of Arts and Sciences, and the University s Vice President for Research.
