Remley was Westminster’s first full-time female professor and welcomed the first women students on campus in 1979. A committee consisting of a faculty/advisor/representative from the Remley Women’s Center, a lead student intern within the Center, a Westminster alumna and the Director of Alumni Engagement select the recipients from women who have been nominated.
