Wisconsin Women In Higher Education Leadership  (UWM Chapter)

 

The UWM WWHEL chapter aims to positively impact the growth of current and aspiring leaders by providing professional development and networking opportunities. The UWM chapter is organized by a steering committee made up of volunteers who meet regularly to plan events, communications, and activities that support our mission. All UWM employees in every job category who self-identify as a woman are included in our chapter’s membership.  

Wisconsin Women in Higher Education Leadership (WWHEL) provides state-wide opportunities for networking, information sharing and support for women in leadership and encourages women faculty and staff to pursue leadership positions. WWHEL sponsors an annual conference and maintains a website (wwhel.org) to facilitate communication about events and resources of interest. WWHEL is governed by a Board of Directors made up of women leaders from all sectors of higher education and have been active in Wisconsin for over 25 years.     

*WWHEL is intended for those who self-identify as women (cis and trans) and all who have lived experience of misogyny as well as non-binary people who are comfortable in a space that centers the experiences of women/womxn.
