History of the OSU Faculty Women's Network
After an inquiry from Lizbeth Gray, Counseling Education regarding how faculty women could support each other, a
letter was sent by Jo Anne Trow and Mimi Orzech to faculty women to try to get "experienced" faculty in touch with
new faculty. Seven meetings (4 at lunch time and three from 4-6pm) are set up to start informal conversation about
the needs of faculty women at OSU. A "Faculty Women's Network" Steering Committee was appointed from the
faculty members who indicated an interest in continuing conversations of a variety of topics.

Strohmeyer, Liz Gray, and Lynne Hallgren.
