Pictorial Directory of the Kentucky Association of Colored Women [1945] - 0 views

  •  
    This directory was compiled and edited by Lucy Harth Smith - see Measha's research journal entry on her at http://www.kywcrh.org/archives/650 - it would be FANTASTIC if we could get some of these women's pictures used on the KYwCRh.org website! Anyone want to work with Reinette to pick out which pictures need to be digitized?!

The Lost Document: Help Us Find the Declaration of Sentiments | whitehouse.gov - 0 views

    While this is a wonderful idea to find the original document, I wonder if, in this project described for the display in the Rotunda, that we're focusing too much on Seneca Falls as an origin of a political movement and not enough on the National Woman's Rights Convention held October 23-24, 1850, in Worcester, Massachusetts? on Stanton (who goes on to support white supremacy) and not enough on Lucy Stone or Paulina Kellogg Wright Davis?

President's Message - 0 views

  • President Handley laid before us a challenging vision: "Enhance the opportunities for women in mathematics, science, and technology through the construction of a state of the art Mathematics, Science, and Technology Center, and enhance our service to adults seeking accelerated degree completion programs."
  • Throughout the life of this institution one question has remained and ultimately been asked of each generation. The question, answered differently through the years, is
  • "How can we best meet the needs of women in Kentucky through education?"
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • We are a diverse institution poised to deepen our mission of service to underserved women and men in Kentucky.
  • Moreover, it is appropriate today to remember as well the generations of young women and now men who have sought better lives under instruction from capable, caring faculty. A legacy of caring at Midway College is personified in our third century of service by many of our employees. Over the course of the last four years Dr. Handley and I have been privileged to meet many of our graduates both near and far. I recall one such meeting with a brilliant woman on the West Coast who graduated from here several decades ago when the school was operating as the Kentucky Female Orphan School. I remember thinking, this woman must have left Midway and pursued a Bachelor's degree and then on in academe. But no she hadn't. She left here upon completion of grade 12. Here she had been exposed to the best of literature, and was required to take advanced instruction in mathematics, and composition. Midway faculty worked diligently to prepare women such as she because they had no safety net other than their ability to think. We serve many students in this same circumstance today and our faculty is just as diligent and committed as they were the past two centuries. To all of our alumni, I say we will keep the faith, and require much of our students academically. We will also strive to engender character, character that counts and give expression in servanthood to humanity. We will retain the character of our pedagogy as a Women's College while continuing to expand our accelerated degree programs for adults.

    I think our group project is going to find our service learning mission within this letter.
