Each year since 1998, the Women's Center has been charged with honoring a woman on the University's faculty or staff with the Elizabeth Zintl Leadership Award in recognition of her professionalism, creativity, and commitment. This year, we will gather many of the Zintl Award recipients to reflect on the meaning of leadership and to celebrate their immeasurable collective impact on the University community.
Join us for an inspiring conversation with Marcia Childress, Dorrie Fontaine, Sharon Hostler, Deborah McDowell, Jane Miller, Rachel Most, Pam Norris, Karen Rheuban, Sylvia Terry, Karen Van Lengen, Anda Webb, and Karin Wittenborg.

Harrison III, a devoted friend of Elizabeth’s and a great benefactor of the UVA Law School, School of Medicine, the University Library, the Athletics Department and numerous other entities and initiatives on Grounds.
