Many women leaders are moving on, including these pioneers whose contributions to changing higher education have enabled followers to build on their successes:

* Dr. Nannerl 0. Keohane announced that after 11 years as the first female president of Duke University NC, she will leave in June 2004. She and her husband Robert 0. Keohane, a political science professor at Duke, will take a one-year sabbatical before returning to campus in 2005 to teach and do research.

* Dr. Dale Rogers Marshall will step down from the presidency of Wheaton College MA at the end of the 2003-2004 academic year.

* Dr. Bette Landman, the first female president of Arcadia University PA (formerly Beaver College) since 1985, will retire in June 2004. She has been very active in NCAA leadership roles.

Among thousands of women moving up as campus leaders:

* Dr. Elena Kagan will become the first female dean of the Harvard Law School. She has taught in the law schools at Harvard and the University of Chicago. A former law clerk to the late Justice Thurgood Marshall, she was a White House aid to President Bill Clinton. She is 42.

Her appointment has been called "a turning point for this ancient law school," where women were not admitted until 1951 and in significant numbers only in the last 25 years. Women also lead elite university law schools at Stanford, Duke and Georgetown.
