On Saturday, March 9, Bay Path’s President Carol Leary received the prestigious 2019 Donna Shavlik Award from the American Council of Education at their annual Women’s Leadership Dinner as part of the 101st Annual Meeting in Philadelphia.

Holyoke and President Emerita of Spelman College.

One of the most significant awards in higher education, ACE established the Donna Shavlik Award to honor the long and outstanding service of Donna Shavlik, former director of ACE’s Office of Women in Higher Education. Presented annually, the award honors an individual who demonstrates a sustained commitment to advancing women in higher education through leadership and career development, campus climate, and mentoring.
