Congratulations to Josephine Beoku-Betts, director of the Center for Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies, for receiving the FAU 2012 President's Leadership Award. In President Saunders’ words, “Dr. Beoku-Betts took on a daunting challenge four years ago when she was named Interim Director of the Women’s Studies Center in the Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters. The budget crisis, with which we are all so painfully familiar, was already making itself felt throughout the University, and the Center was scheduled to lose its funding. The newly appointed Interim Director swung into action. She increased enrollment by converting the two Introduction to Women’s Studies courses to large lecture classes, and she established two support groups, Friends of Women’s Studies and an Advisory Council,recruiting an impressive roster of prominent local women to serve as members. Her enthusiasm for her mission proved contagious, and these auxiliary groups immediately embraced the task of raising money to keep the Center alive. Thanks to the unwavering dedication of one woman, the Center has not only been saved, it has been strengthened through collaborative relationships, innovative programming and generous financial support from sources both inside and outside the University.” Dr. Beoku-Betts is currently in Sierra Leone completing a year’s work focusing on Women’s Peace Movements and Post-War Reconstruction in Sierra Leone and Liberia on a Fulbright fellowship.
