Staff Celebrate Women@TUOS2009

Staff from across the University came together for Women@TUOS2009,
a series of events and development opportunities focusing on female
progression at the University which took place from 29 June - 10 July.

2009 is a milestone in the University's history - it marks the 50th
anniversary of the first female professor at the University of Sheffield,
Professor Aileen Guilding, who was promoted to Professor of Biblical
Studies in 1959.

Nutrition at Work Session

A varied programme of events was held including a presentation by Professor Liz Doherty on barriers to women´s progression to academic positions, a lunch for women professors, and a range of development sessions, including a session on nutrition for ACS staff.

Excellent feedback was received, and this will be used to inform current and future gender equality initiatives, including the Female Academics' Progression Action Plan: www.shef.ac.uk/hr/equality/focus/actionplan

A big thank you to all staff who participated for making Women@TUOS2009 such a success!
