The Trustees’ Council of Penn Women (TCPW) is an international network of Penn alumnae. By power of their example, these leaders support, foster and promote the advancement of women and women’s issues within the University, thus enriching the University community as a whole.

Beginning in 2012, the organization’s quarter-century milestone, the TCPW 25th Anniversary Award for Excellence in Undergraduate Advising was established to recognize undergraduate faculty advisors who have distinguished themselves in providing assistance and advice to their advisee students and who have made a significant impact on the academic experience of these students.

Nominations of standing faculty may be made by an undergraduate or any member of Penn’s community for someone other than oneself and must be submitted together with an essay—not to exceed 250 words in length—supporting the nomination. The deadline for these nominations will be at 5 p.m. on March 1, 2017.

The nomination form is available at https://provost.upenn.edu/education/teaching-at-penn/tcpw-award The winners of this award will receive $2,500 and will be celebrated at the Fall TCPW Conference, to be held on November 2-3, 2017.
