Twelve women on the Fort Hays State University campus were honored last week at the second annual Phenomenal Woman Award ceremony.<\/p>\n
Notifications are sent out campus-wide for staff and faculty to nominate women staff, faculty and students who meet the following criteria: breaking gender stereotypes, taking action, leading by example and outstanding contributions.<\/p>\n
A committee headed by Amber White, coordinator of diversity affairs at FHSU, reviews the nominations and conducts interviews with the nominees. From there, 12 are chosen for the honor.<\/p>\n
The award, for which there were 43 nominations this year, was established last year as a counterpart to the Men of Merit program. This year\u2019s selections for Men of Merit, in its fourth year, will be announced later this month.<\/p>\n
