Exciting Things are Happening!

So much has happened since beginning this project that it would be impossible to update every thing with one blog, but here is a brief rundown.

1.) We have made great progress in our literature review, but could always use additional assistance if you are interested in being involved.

2.) We created (and have expanded) our State Advisory Committee. This group meets three times a year and will help take the message of WEP to each campus in the USHE system.

3.) We are working on a comprehensive database of resources for women. This database will allow women to search by county or need and provide them with information to help them complete their education. We have added many new interns and volunteers to help with this project, but we can also use more support!

4.) Finally, this week we release our first Research and Policy Brief-"The Value of Higher Education for Women in Utah" and we are very excited about this quarterly brief. Please check it out on our website www.uvu.edu/wep or cut and paste this location into your browser http://uvu.edu/wep/resources/pdfs/UWEP%20Brief%202010-201.pdf

As the excitement and momentum continue, different members of the WEP team will be updating the blog, so feel free to ask any questions or make comments/suggestions about things that we post on our website.

Until next time...
