The Women’s Council of RIT Endowed Scholarship provides academic scholarships to women students at RIT who exhibit a strong commitment to a high academic average while struggling with an exceptional/difficult personal or family circumstance.
Eligible students for this scholarship must be women in any program of study who have maintained a GPA of 3.0 or better. Eligible students must have strong community/campus involvement and have excelled in spite of their difficult circumstances. Eligible students must demonstrate financial need and complete an application. Applications will be available at the Center for Women and Gender or by emailing a request to ritwom@rit.edu.
Deadline for the 2018 Women's Council Scholarship is February 15, 2018, by 5pm.
The Edwina Award, recognizing a faculty or staff member for his/her significant contributions to enhance gender diversity and inclusiveness at RIT will be awarded at the 2018 Women’s Career Achievement Dinner on April 30, 2018.
Any individual nominated for the Award must be a part or full time faculty or staff member at RIT who shall have completed at least three consecutive years of service at the Institute.
The nominee for the Award may be an individual whose position responsibilities are not focused on gender diversity and inclusion, but who routinely and voluntarily makes gender diversity and inclusion a priority in much of what he or she does; or the candidate may be one whose major responsibilities are implementing gender diversity and inclusion initiatives, but who also consistently explores unique ways to go above and beyond expectations.
The award is named for Edwina Hogodone, who had a 37 year career at RIT, beginning as an instructor in Sales, Personnel, and Advertising and ending as the first woman in the nation to be named as Dean of a college of business. In addition, she was the first woman Dean of any college at RIT. She served as Dean of the College of Business, now Saunders College of Business, from 1960 until her retirement in 1970 and presided over the development of the then new MBA program at RIT. She was the lone female dean for that decade!
Edwina Hogodone was also very involved in Zonta International, a global organization of executives and professionals who work to advance the status of women worldwide through service and advocacy. She served as President of that organization from 1952-1954.
With Edwina being a trailblazer, breaking down barriers for women here at RIT, it seemed only fitting to name this award after her.
Deadline for Letters of Nominations is March 9, 2018.
