The Sarah Bennett Holmes Award is granted annually to women working at the University who promote the growth and well-being of other women at the University and across the Commonwealth. These awards bring recognition for efforts that would otherwise go unnoticed through typical channels.

Two awards will be granted each spring: one female staff member and one female faculty member. Each recipient receives $1,000.00 and is announced at a ceremony and luncheon for all the nominees. Any woman (regular staff or faculty) currently employed by the University is eligible for nomination. A call for nominations typically is sent out early in the spring semester.
