Littlejohn leads national seminar

Dr. Jere Littlejohn, assistant professor of communication, is among five women selected to lead a recent national seminar.

She served as a faculty leader for the 15th Women as Leaders '99 Seminar directed by the Washington Center for Internships and Academic Seminars. The 15-day meeting was held in Washington, D.C.

All undergraduate women hailing from more than 50 colleges and universities, the 75 participants were selected through an extensive application process sponsored and funded by the Avon Products Foundation Inc. Based on their experience as leaders, they were awarded full scholarships that provided tuition and housing, as well as academic credit.

Littlejohn joined the Department of Communication in 1991 where she teaches small group communication and public speaking.

The Washington Center is a nonprofit, educational organization that has provided more than 25,000 students over the past 25 years the opportunity to study in the nation's capital.
