Welcome!

Welcome to the Oklahoma Women in Higher Education (OKWHE) website. The purpose of this site is to provide easy access to information about this organization and its activities. OKWHE is a volunteer organization of women working in Oklahoma higher education whose goals are to encourage women’s leadership in this state and beyond.

We encourage you to participate in OKWHE activities and support women colleagues aspiring to leadership positions in any area of higher education. We must join together to lift each other as we move through our diverse roles in Oklahoma colleges and universities.

Please join us in this exciting journey!
