Women's Academic Network

Meeting Schedule

The Women’s Academic Network provides female faculty and administrators at the University of Memphis with an informal opportunity to meet new colleagues, socialize, and discuss topics of interest and relevance to women in academia (e.g., tenure and promotion, family friendly leave policies, child care and schools, spousal hiring, mentoring).

We invite your participation and ideas. Please take a moment to let us know some of the issues that you would like to have an opportunity to discuss with your female colleagues. You can contact us at CROW@memphis.edu.
