Former Dean of the Faculty of Medicine, Joseph B.

The Award was named the “Shirley Driscoll Dean’s Leadership Award for the Enhancement of Women’s Careers” to honor Dr. Driscoll (1923-2018) who was the first faculty co-chair of the JCSW in 1973.
2022 Award for an Emerging Leader in Women’s Careers
The Dean’s Award for an Emerging Leader in Women’s Careers was initiated in 2021 in collaboration with the Dean’s Office, to recognize a faculty member making an impact limited to their local sphere of influence.
