Hollenshead Wins Sara Goddard Power Distinguished Service Award

Carol Hollenshead, CEW Director,  has received the Sarah Goddard Power Distinguished Service Award for her ongoing role in the advancement of women. In her work at CEW, Hollenshead has participated in educational and research programs for women of all ages and in all facets of life. Her publications address such topics as gender equity, work-family policy issues, affirmative action, statistical studies, climate issues and demographics. She has received national awards for her work. She also has worked tirelessly to raise funds for women, most notably by expanding the CEW Scholarship program, which has provided financial support to more than 1,000 women who would otherwise have been unable to further their education.

The nomination materials for all three awardees will become part of the collections in the Bentley Historical Library.

The award was established by the Academic Women's caucus in memory of Sarah Goddard Power, a former regent who was a strong advocate for women within the University. Its goal is to honor faculty members (including instructors, lecturers, primary researchers, librarians and curators) and senior administrative staff who have made significant contributions to the betterment of women at U-M and globally through distinguished leadership, scholarship or other activities related to their professions.
