HERS President & Executive Director |
||
Judith S. White has been President and Executive Director of HERS (Higher Education Resources Services) since June 2005. During her tenure, she has launched the HERS Institute at the University of Denver (2007), expanded the HERS Institute at Wellesley College (2008-2009), and revised the HERS Bryn Mawr Summer Institute to a new shorter format (2010). These changes have created a shared and enhanced curriculum across all HERS Institutes, while also nearly doubling the capacity of HERS Institutes to serve women faculty and administrators seeking leadership and management development.
Before coming to HERS, Dr. White was an administrator and faculty member at Duke University, 1993-2005, serving first as Special Assistant to the President and later as Assistant Vice President for Campus Services. During that time, she was Adjunct Professor of Women's Studies, Chair of the Duke University Administrative Women's Network and member of the Executive Committee of the Duke Women's Initiative.
From 1988-1993, Dr. White was at Dartmouth College first as the founding Director of the Women's Resource Center and then as Assistant Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences. Earlier in her career, she held administrative positions and taught at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, Queens College (Charlotte) and at UNC-Charlotte.
Dr. White currently serves on the board of the National Council for Research on Women (NCRW). She was a Senior Fellow at the Association of American Colleges & Universities (AACU) from 2002-2005. She previously served on the Executive Board of BRIDGES, a program promoting academic leadership for women in North Carolina Higher Education and on the North Carolina Humanities Council. Dr. White attended Salem College and graduated from Princeton University; she has her MA in English and Comparative Literature from Columbia University and PhD in English from the University of Virginia.
