Welcome!

The New York State Network for Women Leaders in Higher Education is an informal network of women administrators, faculty, and others associated with or supportive of higher education in New York state. Formed under the auspices of the Office of Women in Higher Education (OWHE) of the American Council on Education (ACE) in 1977, the New York State Network is part of THE NETWORK, a national network organized by states and headed by coordinating committees within each state.

WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THE N.Y.S. NETWORK?

The New York State Network seeks:
  • to develop and promote the advancement of women in high education in New York state

  • to establish linkages among and between women and trustees, legislators, policy makers, search firms, and other organizations
  • to develop an agenda of policy issues affecting women in higher education
  • to support, encourage, and strengthen the state and regional associations
