Grants for 2008-2009
The PCCW Steering Committee approved leadership grants totaling $126,600 for a variety of projects to promote women faculty members and students at Cornell.
The grants, recommended by the Leadership Grants Review Committee, were:
- $50,000 to fund research grants for five women faculty members. Each will receive a $10,000 grant. The faculty members were selected to be junior faculty fellows in the Institute for Social Sciences during the 2008-09 academic year.
- $20,000 partial support for May 2009 Career Stage Retreats for 95 women faculty members to be sponsored by the CU-ADVANCE Center.

- $10,000 to name two lockers in the Collyer Boathouse for women's crew members. As part of the grant, PCCW has asked that the lockers be designated PCCW Leadership lockers and assigned to team captains or other crew members recognized for their leadership in the sport.
- $10,000 to support an undergraduate woman PCCW-HRR (Hunter R. Rawlings) Presidential Research Scholar.
