Chancellor's Commission on Status of Women taking applications

Applications are being taken for membership on the Chancellor's Commission on the Status of Women. New student members will serve a two-year term for the academic years 2006-08. Faculty and staff members will serve three-year terms from 2006-2009. Applications and additional information are available at www.unl.edu/ccsw.

The purpose of the commission is to enhance the status of women at UNL by advising the chancellor on issues pertaining to gender equity and on specific concerns of women faculty, staff and students at the university.

The commission consists of 25 members, divided into three councils: the Council of Faculty, the Council of Staff, and the Council of Students. Each council is diverse and represents a broad range of women from across the university.
