The University of Southern Indiana in Evansville, Indiana, will host a special 50th anniversary celebration of its annual Phenomenal Women program, and KyForward editor and publisher Judy Clabes is among the honorees.
Clabes was Scripps-Howard’s first female editor beginning with the Sunday Courier & Press in Evansville. She and the other honorees will be recognized at 6 p.m. Thursday, March 19, in Carter Hall in University Center West. The event is open to the public.
Phenomenal Women, held during Women’s History Month at USI, honors and celebrates women from all walks of life who have made contributions to diversity in the USI and Evansville communities. Through the annual recognition of these contributions, the Phenomenal Women program hopes to inspire others to embrace and promote diversity within their own lives.
This year, USI’s 50th anniversary year, the university is recognizing 50 Phenomenal Women who have helped shape the campus and the community.
USI President Linda L. M. Bennett, one of the 50 honorees, will be the speaker for the event.
