This collection contains 2, 2-page typescript newsletters from the Consortium for Utah Women in Higher Education. Both newsletters are addressed to Dr. Reba L. Keele, Director at the Center for Womens Health, Cottonwood Hospital in Murray, Utah. Both newsletters name D. Alexa West as their newsletter editor.
The first newsletter, dated January 1985 and labeled as Vol. 2, #1, is entitled, Monday Matters, and outlines an event to be held at Dixie College on 8 and 9 February of that year, one which addresses the key topics of the politics of budgeting in higher education, Womens Salaries: equity and its implications, and economic and political future of women: taking financial responsibility for yourself. The newsletter also contains an announcement for a career change seminar to be held on 8 March and a call for dues for the consortium.
The second newsletter, dated April-May 1985, begins with a letter to the membership from the executive director of the consortium, Janice R. Fauske, thanking the members for the increase in membership and the successes made in the past year in advancing their causes. The newsletter also contains a call for dues, as well as an announcement for From Goddesses to Megatrends: an analysis of leadership styles, to be held on Friday, 10 May at the Eccles Conference Center with a description of said event. The pamphlet closes with news of various women advancing in careers at universities and a rundown of how the career changes event mentioned in the previous newsletter went.
