Casteen names 18 to Women's Council group
By Tom Deal | October 17, 2000University President John T. Casteen III has finalized the membership of the newly created Women's Leadership Council. Joan Fry, special assistant to the president, reported that Casteen named 13 appointed members and five ex-officio members on the recommendation of the Interim Women's Leadership Council, established last year. The Interim Council selected men and women who "demonstrated effective leadership and interest in women's roles in the University," Fry said. Casteen created the Council last February to "identify and develop more leadership opportunities and roles and will increase professional development opportunities for women faculty, staff and students," she said. Third-year College student Caroline Altman and Darden Doctoral Candidate Mary Hamilton are the two student members.
