The Women of Distinction Award honors a student, staff member, or faculty member who demonstrates excellence, ingenuity, and the ability to overcome barriers that still exist for women. Criteria used to select women for this honor include being a lifelong advocate for promoting equity for women and girls, serving as a mentor/role model, and being dedicated to empowering women and girls to achieve their goals.
