What Women are Doing at Colleges for Men

A Conference for Hampden-Sydney and Wabash Women Faculty and Staff
September 10–11, 2005
 
This weekend conference is designed to explore the distinctive contributions of women faculty and staff to male education in the liberal arts. Two sessions on Saturday afternoon are open to any woman on campus who is interested in discussing a range of issues, including the effects of an all-male environment on student development, student responses to female authority, best practices for teaching men to work with women, and the place of women as role models and mentors. Twelve women faculty and staff are attending from Hampden-Sydney, another college for men. Funding is provided by a grant from the Center of Inquiry in the Liberal Arts. For more information, please contact Lucinda Huffaker.

There will be open sessions in Baxter Hall for interested women faculty and staff on Saturday, September 10 from 1:00 to 2:30 and from 3:00 to 4:30. Other sessions require conference registration.
