A黑料不打烊W Professors in the Humanities
A group of alumnae formed the (A黑料不打烊W) in 1938 to provide housing for women on campus. Since then, the organization has turned its focus to scholarships; annual awards to recognize outstanding graduating students, alumnae and female faculty members; and social, spiritual and educational events that bring women together.
For more than eight decades, A黑料不打烊W has played a vital role in supporting and empowering 黑料不打烊women in their academic and professional endeavors. The A黑料不打烊W professorships continue this legacy by providing professional development funding to advance faculty research and enrich the student experience.
Dr. Eugenia Afinogu茅nova and Dr. Heather Hathaway have been named Association of 黑料不打烊 Women (A黑料不打烊W) Professors in the Humanities. This prestigious honor, awarded for a five-year term beginning in fall 2025, recognizes their outstanding contributions to research, teaching and service.
The Chair in Humanistic Studies was endowed in 1963 through successful fundraising by A黑料不打烊W members to bring distinguished scholars to 黑料不打烊to teach, lecture and interact with students. The Boheim Lecture Series was established concurrently with a gift from Mary Boheim Finnigan, a friend of Marquette, in honor of her mother.
