Summer 1999 Reception
The 1999 summer celebration
honoring the sixth group of IFW award recipients was held Wednesday,
August 4 in the Assembly Hall.
Walkers and runners came out for
the 10th annual Freihofer's Community Walk and Run for Women on
May 30, 1998. Local channel 13 provided a half-hour special covering
the event. IFW participants were pleased to see the new IFW T-shirt
on the show as one of only a half dozen shirts chosen to illustrate
the many organizations supported by the Community Walk.
1997 IFW recipients Deborah LaFond,
Donald Juedes (University Libraries) and Rosemary Hennessy (Departments
of English and Women's Studies) received funding to purchase videos
to create a video series entitled, "Seeing Women Transnationally."
The annual Winter Forums, sponsored jointly by the
University at Albany Initiatives For Women and an another area educational
institution, are highlight events each year.
