Since 1980, Women in Higher Education in Tennessee (WHET) has sought to
meet the needs of women in the academy. By working collaboratively with the
American Council on Education through ACE-NIP, later ACE-The Network, and
with the American Association of Community College Women, programs such as
the June Anderson Award and the annual conference have supported the core
values of leadership, networking, and connection among women in the
Tennessee higher education community.

In 2001, WHET and ACE-The Network formally merged to better meet the needs
of all women in Tennessee higher education. Consistent with its mission, WHET is
committed to the following goals and initiatives.

  • Professional development seminars

  • Partnership with the statewide Women’s Leadership Conference for college
    and university students

  • A Presidential Advisory Committee


  • Support for member’ participation in national leadership conferences

  • Institutional memberships

  • A reception to honor new college and university presidents in Tennessee at
    the annual conference
