USI seeking nominations for 22nd class of Phenomenal Women and the Community

The University of Southern Indiana Multicultural Center is proudly accepting nominations for its 22nd class of Phenomenal Women of USI and the Community. Since the program’s establishment in 2001, the University has recognized over 200 Phenomenal Women for their contributions to diversity, both at USI and in the greater Evansville community.  

Phenomenal Women nominees may be USI students, employees, alumna and community members who serve as role models and impact lives as champions of diversity.  

“The Multicultural Center encourages the community to take a few minutes to nominate those silent heroes who continue to impact the lives of others from day to day,” says Jada Hogg, Outreach Coordinator and Student Mentor for the USI Multicultural Center. “My favorite Maya Angelou quote has always been ‘I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.'”  

Nominations should be completed online by Friday, February 17. Honorees will be recognized during an in-person celebration at 6 p.m. Tuesday, March 21 in Carter Hall, located in University Center West.   

Detailed information about the 2022 Phenomenal Women celebration, being held in conjunction with Women’s History Month, will be shared with honorees and the community at a later date. Tickets are $20 for USI employees and the public and $10 for USI students.  

The Phenomenal Women program aims to inspire others to embrace and promote diversity within their own lives and the lives of others.
