Abstract
This year’s theme was Say (Her, Their, Our) Name and this year's goal was to help women connect with one another, support each other, and leave empowered to continue to succeed in the academy. The program included professional development workshops, networking socials, and mentor development sessions customized for administrators, faculty, graduate students, and undergraduates. The conference honored the legacy of the late Zenobia Lawrence Hikes, VT Vice President for Student Affairs 2005 - 2008, commemorating her by giving the first Faculty Women of Color in the Academy award in her name.
