Annual AWFA Fall Reception: September 19 Women faculty and administrators are invited to the Annual AWFA Fall Reception on Thursday, September 19 from 4-6 p.m. when AWFA--Penn's Association of Women Faculty and Administrators--along with FOCUS on Health and Leadership for Women, the School of Medicine, and the Women's Center present Dr. Afaf I. Meleis, Dean of the School of Nursing, and an advocate for women's health care on Women's Work Is Never Done: Themes from Women's Lives. How do low-income women tend to define and cope with their life stressors? What is the impact of "women's work" definitions on the quality of care that women receive? Why is it that women's work provides them with neither greater economic security nor increase in health and social benefits? Dean Meleis is an internationally known scholar in the areas of women's health and development and immigrant health care, international health care. She will explore the impact of these issues on the quality of women's lives. The event will be held in The Golkin Room, Houston Hall; meet new friends and renew old acquaintances! The Association of Women Faculty and Administrators at the University of Pennsylvania provides exchange, support and fellowship among Penn women.
