Texas Women in Higher Education (TWHE)
An Affiliate of the American Council on Education
Invites You to the Spring 2008 Western Regional Meeting
In Conjunction with the Texas Tech All University Conference on Women
Friday, February 29, 2008
We hope you will join us for this exciting opportunity to network with fellow women leaders in higher education. Please feel free to invite other women leaders in your institution who may have not received this invitation.
The new TWHE had a highly successful conference in Spring 2007 at Baylor attended by women in leadership from many Texas universities and community colleges. In Fall 2007 and Spring 2008, regional luncheons are being held across the state so that women leaders in higher education may network and share their experiences with colleagues from other colleges and universities. A second state conference will also be held April 24-25, 2008, in San Marcos: http://www.avpie.txstate.edu/TWHE.html.
For further information about the Western Regional Meeting, please contact Dr. Mary Jane Hurst, Office of the President, Texas Tech University, Lubbock, TX 79409-2005: 806-742-2121; maryjane.hurst@ttu.edu.
Through the leadership of its Women’s Studies Program, Texas Tech University sponsors an annual All University Conference on Women. The TWHE Western Area meeting is being held in conjunction with this conference. A special session for TWHE will begin at 10:45, and TWHE attendees will then sit together at the lunch, which begins at 12.
TWHE attendees are welcome to attend any and/or all of the conference sessions (see http://www.depts.ttu.edu/wstudies/ for additional conference information). Those who may be traveling from a distance and cannot attend all day might plan to arrive for the TWHE session starting at 10:45, followed by lunch from 12-1, followed by the address from 1:15-2:15 by Dr. Alice Hogan. Those traveling from a distance who want to stay overnight in Lubbock might consider, among other options, the Staybridge Suites, which is across the street and within walking distance of the Student Union Building, or the Lubbock Inn, which is also across the street from the university but not within convenient walking distance of the Student Union because of current construction and traffic issues.
