Jane Dammen McAuliffe (pictured), who is the the former Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at Georgetown University, became President of Bryn Mawr College in Pennsylvania in July 08. As I continue on my journey to find women college presidents, I now can add colleges in Vermont, Rhode Island and Pennsylvania to my list. I still can't believe someone doesn't have a list of women college presidents, so please send it to us if you do. People are interested and search for it a lot. (My previous post and comments included women college presidents in Massachusetts, Maine, New York, Connecticut, New Hampshire, NC and California.) Feel free to add some yourself:
Vermont: Bennington College – Elizabeth Coleman; Johnson State College – Barbara Murphy; Lyndon State College – Carol Moore
Rhode Island: Rhode Island Coll - Nancy Carriuolo; Salve Regina University– Sr Therese Antone
Pennsylvania; -Bryn Mawr – Jane Dammen McAuliffe; Cedar Crest College - Dr. Carmen Twillie Ambar; Chatham University – Esther Barazzone; Gettysburg - Janet Morgan Riggs; Marywood University – Sr Anne Munley; Messiah College – Kim Phipps; Washington & Jefferson College – Tori Haring-Smith; Cabrini College - Marie Angelella George; Chestnut Hill College - Carol Jean Vale; Lehigh University – Alice Gast; Rosemont College – Sharon Latshaw Hirsh; Seton Hill University - JoAnne Boyle; Cheyney University of Pennsylvania - Michelle R.

I will keep adding and so can you if you know of other women. (This list is for info only taken from websites and may contain errors.) Eventually I hope to get to all fifty states. Help!
