Since 1977, the Women's Commission has had the privilege of selecting outstanding University women to be honored at an annual springtime luncheon. The honorees, from administrators, faculty, staff and students, are recognized for their contributions, commitment and lives of service to the University and their community. They are selected from nominations submitted by colleagues, friends, supervisors and others whose lives they have touched.
