Maine Edge Previews Women in Leadership Week
The Maine Edge published a University of Maine news release about Women in Leadership Week, March 24–26. The week is part of UMaine’s yearlong 150th anniversary celebration and will feature a series of public events leading to the Installation of UMaine President Susan J. Hunter. “Women in Leadership Week is a celebration of the installation of UMaine’s first woman president, but it is also a time to reflect on the many ways that women have shaped our university, to recognize the challenges that women continue to face, and to recommit ourselves to nurturing the next generation of women leaders,” said Jeffrey E. Hecker, UMaine executive vice president for academic affairs and provost, and chair of the Women in Leadership Week committee.
