"The OWC strongly believes in paying tribute to the incredible achievements of our women faculty," says Rebecca Starr, program manager for the OWC. "Although there still are impediments to the advancement in women's careers, it is crucial not only to focus on creating solutions to these hurdles but also to make women's accomplishments more visible."
