The American Council on Education (ACE) Women’s Network (national) and the Virginia Network (Commonwealth of Virginia) seek to identify, develop, advance, and support women in higher education at the national, state, and local levels. The Virginia Network sponsors a statewide conference serving women in a wide range of roles in higher education, including graduate students. The 2024 Virginia Network Annual State Conference will be held on Friday, May 31, 2024, at Virginia State University, Petersburg, VA.
The Virginia Network invites you to submit session proposals aligned with the theme “Walking in Her Shoes: Understanding the Challenges of Women of Color in Higher Education and Creating Environments Where ALL Succeed” that will support the journey towards equity and belonging in academia. This call for proposals seeks expertise in creating inclusive environments where all women not only overcome barriers but thrive as we build bridges of understanding and craft solutions for fostering inclusive spaces. Session proposals are due by Wednesday, April 10, 2024, at 5:00 PM.
