2025 Virginia Network Annual Conference
STATE CONFERENCE
Each year the Virginia Network sponsors a statewide conference serving women in a wide range of roles in higher education, including graduate students. The annual conference is designed for women who serve the varied and diverse institutions and agencies of higher education in the Commonwealth and provides opportunities for networking, collaboration, and sharing information about the national, state, and regional issues affecting higher education today. The Network has been particularly interested in identifying and developing the careers of women from diverse backgrounds and five times has focused the annual conference on critical issues for women of color.
This year’s conference theme is “Among the Stars: Expanding Our Professional Constellations.” A constellation looks like a beautiful picture created from stars connecting in the sky. Our interpersonal networks are much the same as we forge relationships, one at a time, to create an interconnected web more extraordinary than the sum of its parts. This year’s annual meeting is all about our connections to one another, at the conference and far beyond. Join us in The Star City as we expand our professional constellations – one by one – and create something stellar together.
The Virginia Network for Women in Higher Education Outstanding Leadership Award will recognize an outstanding woman leader who has made significant contributions to higher education in Virginia. By recognizing outstanding women in Virginia higher education, we create an environment that supports the development and promotion of women leaders. The deadline for submissions is March 3, 2025.
