Texas Women in Higher Education

Statement of Purpose

Texas Women in Higher Education (TWHE) is the OWHE network organization for Texas dedicated to developing, advancing and supporting women employed at colleges and universities across the state.  TWHE is committed to providing its members with the skills needed to reach leadership positions and enhancing the leadership skills of those already there.

Each state network is led by a state coordinator who works with institutional representatives and at least one presidential sponsor to develop programs that identify, develop, encourage, advance, link, and support women in higher education careers within that state. 

Dr. Denise Trauth, President of Texas State University-San Marcos, and Dr. Gretchen Bataille, President of University of North Texas, are the presidential sponsors for the Texas network. Dr. Leah Jackson, Associate Dean of Baylor University School of Law, and Dr. Jennifer Martin, Vice Provost and Dean of the Graduate School, Texas Woman's University, are state co-coordinators.
