The 2024 Sarah Goddard Power, Rhetaugh G. Dumas, & Carol Hollenshead Inspire Awards
Michigan League Ballroom, 911 N. University Ave., Ann Arbor
Please join us for the annual Sarah Goddard Power & Rhetaugh G. Dumas Progress in Diversifying Award Ceremony. This annual award ceremony presented on behalf of the Academic Women’s Caucus and administered by CEW+ celebrates the legacies of Sarah Goddard Power and Rhetaugh Dumas by recognizing current staff, scholars, and units that are carrying forward shared values through named awards.
This year’s event will also include award recipients for the CEW+ Carol Hollenshead Inspire Award for Excellence in Promoting Equity and Social Change, whose sustained efforts have resulted in greater equity with regard to gender, race, class, age, disability, gender identity, or sexual orientation.
The ceremony will conclude with a 30-minute carillon concert from 5-5:30 p.m., performed by Pamela Ruiter-Feenstra, DMA, who will premiere her original work, “Empower,” in honor of Sarah Goddard Power.
The Sarah Goddard Power & Rhetaugh G. Dumas Progress in Diversifying awards are presented on behalf of the Academic Women’s Caucus, which was founded in 1975 with the charge ”to develop an inclusive organization of all women faculty members of the Ann Arbor, Dearborn, and Flint campuses of the University of Michigan which will serve as a forum for the exchange of information about the status of faculty women at the University and as a focus for action necessary to the investigation and resolution of their special concerns.”
Named after the late University of Michigan Regent Sarah Goddard Power, this award recognizes individuals who have made significant contributions to the betterment of women through their leadership, scholarship, or other ways in their professional life.
Named after late Vice Provost Rhetaugh Dumas, this award recognizes outstanding institutional initiative in demonstrating notable progress by academic units in achieving ethnic, racial, and gender diversity among those pursuing and achieving tenure as professors, clinical professors, research professors, and research scientists.
The Carol Hollenshead Inspire Award for Excellence in Promoting Equity and Social Change was created in honor of former director Carol Hollenshead’s twenty-year tenure at the Center for the Education of Women and honors awardees who, like Carol, have proven that social change is possible through persistent hard work and who demonstrate that one person can make a lasting difference in their communities.
