The E. Arthur Trabant Award for Women's Equity
President Patrick Harker, Dr. Pamela Cook
President Emeritus E. Arthur Trabant
The Commission on the Status of Women has established an award in recognition of President Emeritus E. Arthur Trabant's support for women's equity at the University of Delaware. The E. Arthur Trabant Award for Women's Equity is given annually to any individual, department, administrative unit, or committee who has contributed to equity for women at the University. The Commission defines "contributions" broadly to encourage as wide a range of nominations as possible, but examples might include developing exemplary programs or curricula, implementing innovative policies and procedures related to women's equity, and enhancing existing services to women.
Nominations for the award are accepted from any member of the University community. Self-nominations must be accompanied by at least one supporting letter from outside the unit. Current members of the Commission on the Status of Women and the Commission to Promote Racial and Cultural Diversity, and employees of the Office of Women's Affairs and the Office of Affirmative Action are eligible to nominate, however they cannot be considered for the award. Preference will be given to individuals and groups that have gone beyond the basic requirements of their job in improving conditions for women at the University.
Please print the nomination form. Any pertinent supporting materials should accompany the nomination. Selections will be made by a committee appointed by the Commission on the Status of Women. Awards are publicly announced and presented at a spring ceremony. For further information contact the Office of Women's Affairs.
