Women of UD 2023: Catalysts of Our Community

The honorees of the 2023 Women of UD program have cultivated positive change on their team, ensuring that processes, procedures, and services for the campus community have been rooted in the common good. They have mentored a generation of new professionals or been a driving force for sustaining relationships with the broader Dayton community. Change and impacts can be felt at the individual level or the university level; each leaves a lasting legacy at UD. The honorees were nominated by the campus community and selected by a dedicated group of students, faculty, and staff and photographed by Professor Glenna Jennings' students Elena Bellisario, Mary Kate Fleisher, Colleen Glavic, Jayonna Johnson, and Jillian Whitson, supported by Shon Curtis.
