The Women’s Empowerment Award is given to an individual, community member or business who through their professional work, personal passion or sponsorship empower women supporting the mission of the UofL Women’s Center. |
 The Mary K. Bonsteel Tachau Essay Contest purpose was to raise awareness of the historical sociological attitudes toward women of the 20th Century and their impact on individuals and society as a whole. The essays drew upon the experiences of Dr. Tachau and relate those experiences to other individuals and situations (which can include the writer’s own growth or achievements). The essay contest was held during the 2016-2017 & 2017-2018 academic years. Dr. Tachau’s papers are housed in the Women's History Collection at the University Archives as part of the Women’s Manuscripts Collection Project. |
The Women’s Center’s Community Pearls of Kentucky honors women and femmes whose work connects deeply with our mission to collectively build a gender-equitable campus and greater community.
