Still time to nominate for Women* of Distinction Awards

The President’s Commission on the Status of Women would like to remind everyone that there is still time to nominate for the Women* of Distinction/Woman* of the Year Awards!

Washington State University proudly honors the rich legacy of women whose contributions have shaped the university, including teachers and scholars, staff and advisors, students and alumni, administrators and regents, volunteers, and friends. This award is for people who identify as women and their allies, who have worked to elevate the status and equality of women. The WSU Women of Distinction and Woman* of the Year Awards are traditionally presented annually during National Women’s History Month to recognize the achievements and contributions of women to the academic and local community, and to our society.

Find more information on qualifications and requirements.

Submit your nomination by Friday, Dec. 12, at 5 p.m.

We look forward to hearing from you!
