History

The Women's Center project has developed over the past few years, as a cooperative effort among female faculty and students. Initially the project was begun as a partnership with Sewanee, the University of the South, to explore women's leadership. In Spring 2002, Sewanee professors and students came to Lee to explore women's issues; and the following semester, Fall 2002, a few Lee faculty and students traveled to Sewanee for a follow-up seminar. In November 2002, Lee hosted a two day conference called "Women's Ways of Leading," and in the spring of 2003 the project was granted the funds to develop a Lee University Women's Center.
