Legacy dinner honors women leaders

Herminghouse

atricia Herminghouse, the Karl F. and Bertha A. Fuchs Professor Emerita of German Studies, is one of several women who will be honored at the 2003 Susan B. Anthony Legacy Dinner on Thursday, February 6.

The event, which is sponsored by the Susan B. Anthony Center for Women's Leadership and the University Women's Club, pays tribute to Anthony's campaign to win women admission to the University and honors the activities of student leaders and faculty, staff, and alumnae.

Herminghouse, who will be honored at the dinner with the Lifetime Achievement Award, came to the University in 1983 as a full professor and chair of what was then named the Department of Foreign Languages, Literatures, and Linguistics.

During her six-year tenure, she oversaw curricular innovations and, through her work on various committees, was instrumental in recruiting and promoting women and feminist scholars to faculty positions. She was a founding member of the Susan B. Anthony Center for Women's Studies.

Several women students also will be honored for their accomplishments and contributions to University life, including Stephanie Fitzpatrick '04, Sarah Zubairy '04, Erin McCrossan '03, Emily Faber '03, and Margaret Coit '04.

The dinner will be held in the May Room of Wilson Commons. For more information, call the Anthony Center at x5-8799.
