Each year, UVM participates in two management-training opportunities for women, the Summer Institute for Women in Higher Education Administration and the Management Institute for Women in Higher Education. Information sessions on both will be held March 7, 3-4 p.m., in Memorial Lounge, Waterman; and March 11, 12-1 p.m., in the Phi Beta Kappa room, Waterman.

The Office of Affirmative Action and Equal Opportunity will choose one woman to attend the summer institute, which is held at Bryn Mawr College and/or two women for the management institute, held at Wellesley College over five sessions during the academic year. UVM covers the tuition and provides a limited allowance for travel and expenses.

The curriculum in both programs includes professional and personal development, management in organizations, strategic planning, information systems and computer applications and fiscal management. The programs have some differences, with Bryn Mawr focused toward full-time faculty and administrators at grade 12 and above, and Wellesley focused toward full-time faculty and staff grade nine and above.
