"You're not obligated to win. You're obligated to keep trying to do the best you can every day." This quote from Marian Wright Edelman, founder of the Children's Defense Fund, was the theme for the Women of Webster awards.
"The Women of Webster Awards" honors women in the Webster University community who have an impact on student life. The luncheon, held March 30 in the UC Sunnen Lounge, was about an hour long and was a semi-casual event.
At the ceremony, eight won an award out of the 34 women nominated.
Selections were made on how many nominations someone received as well as what the impact the nominee has on the Webster Community.
The Winners
Elizabeth Hanson is a senior studying social science and women's studies. Hanson has been involved in Students for Gender Equality since it began three years ago.
"I hope that my work in campus raises awareness with gender issues," Hanson said.
Hanson helps organize events that are sponsored by Students for Gender Equality.
Gina Jensen is an adjunct professor who has taught at Webster since 1997. Jensen is the assistant director of the Forensics and Debate team and advises over 30 students in a variety of majors. Besides the Women of Webster Award, Jensen received the Pi Kappa Delta Bob R. Derryberry Outstanding Young Educators Award.
Jennifer Jones will be graduating in May with a bachelor's degree in public relations and psychology. Jones is the secretary of Students for Gender Equality, which she has been involved with for two years.
"I'm really excited to win this award," Jones said.
Sue McClintock, who works in the athletic department started at Webster in 1998.
"It has been a terrific experience for me to be part of our growth from eight sports and 70 student athletes to 13 sports and 200 student athletes," McClintock said. "The student athletes have enriched my life more than I could ever put into words and my years at Webster have been a very happy part of my life."
