Dean's Leadership Awards

Since 1998, the JCSW has honored faculty and staff at Harvard Medical School and Harvard School of Dental Medicine for their contributions to advancing women's careers. These awards, initiated by Dr. Joseph B. Martin, recognize leadership in recruiting, retaining, and promoting women. Over the years, new awards have been introduced, including the Shirley Driscoll Dean's Leadership Award for the Enhancement of Women's Careers and the Nancy J. Tarbell Dean's Award for Emerging Leaders in Women's Careers, celebrating individuals at different stages of their efforts to support gender equity in academia.
