2001 HERS Program Information Session: February 6
To Penn Women:
Have you heard about HERS and the Bryn Mawr Summer Institute for Women
in Higher Education? Ever think about applying? Wonder what the process
is? Or want to know what the program is like? Come join us for an Information
Session about the 2001 HERS program. Talk with colleagues who have attended
HERS in years past and find out about this year's program and application
process. The session will be held Tuesday, February 6, 4:30-6 p.m. in room
104, Logan Hall. An informal discussion will also take place on Wednesday,
February 7, 5-6 p.m. in the Living Room of the Inn at Penn.
The University will sponsor the nomination of two women to the Summer
Institute for Women in Higher Education Administration, sponsored by Bryn
Mawr College and Higher Education Resources (HERS) Mid Atlantic and will
fully fund their participation.
Over the years, Penn has supported the enrollment of over 50 women faculty
and administrators from schools and departments across the campus. As in
the past, a review committee of several HERS alumnae and Penn faculty will
select the two nominees for recommendation to HERS. (HERS makes the final
selections.)
Applications for those selected by the internal committee will be forwarded
to HERS for final review and acceptance in March. For an application or
more information, contact Linda Wiedmann by e-mail at wiedmann@pobox.upenn.edu.

foundations, professional associations, and the diverse sectors of North

will be held from June 24 to July 20, 2001 on the campus of Bryn Mawr College.
Although most women live on campus, it is possible to commute. Classes
are held from approximately 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday-Friday and from 8 a.m.-noon
on Saturday. There are programs and group discussions scheduled for a number
of the evenings.
