The Wright State University Women’s Center and Center for Faculty Excellence are thrilled to announce the return of the Women Faculty & Staff Rendezvous on Friday, September 15 from 3–5 p.m. in 019 Student Union. This Rendezvous originated in the early 1990s to provide women faculty the opportunity to connect and provide advice for obtaining tenure. The reimagined initiative is designed to foster a sense of community, facilitate networking, and address the unique needs of women and gender-expansive faculty and staff as we as a community and as a nation face sociopolitical, economic, and public health-related turbulence.
To kick off the Rendezvous, we will be meeting in 019 of the Student Union (the Culture & Identity Center space) from 3–5 p.m. on September 15 for light refreshments, an update on the state of women at Wright State, speed networking, and a discussion of what exactly we need the Rendezvous to be/how the Rendezvous can serve us most effectively. RSVP for the event by September 11. We encourage you to forward this invitation to any woman employed at Wright State who might be interested in this event.
Additionally, please save the date for the following Rendezvous: October 5 from 9–11 a.m. at the Dunbar Library Starbucks; November 3 from 4–6 p.m. at the Wandering Griffin.
Thank you for celebrating women faculty and staff with us, and we hope to see you there!
Sincerely,
Bobbie Szabo, Women’s Center
