The Women for Florida State University Gift of Wisdom Award was created to identify exceptional women of the past, embrace strong women of today and encourage the growth of women for the future. Our goal is to support women by building on the traditions of excellence set forth by our predecessors more than a century ago.
The nomination window opens every October, and honorees are celebrated in February at Backstage Pass. Visit this page again in October to nominate a woman who inspires you.
