Who won the free WIHE iPods?(Women in Higher Education )

In the last three months of 2006, six lucky women won free engraved nano iPods from Women in Higher Education. The give-away is a way to announce that starting in early 2007, WIHE will be regularly offering free podcasts of interest to subscribers and other women in higher education.

Several of the winners are involved in their campus' continuing education efforts, an area in which podcasts are expected to become a very useful delivery method.

Congrats to the winners and thanks to other entrants.

OCTOBER winners were Dr. Ferne Braveman, a professor of anesthesiology at Yale University in New Haven CT, and Glynis Holm Strause, director of continuing education at Coastal Bend College in Beeville TX.

Braveman started receiving WIHE recently as part of a free trial offer to women enrolled in the ELAM program, a 10-year-old program helping senior women faculty to assume executive leadership positions at academic health centers. ELAM is a joint effort by the Woman's Medical College of Pennsylvania and Hahnemann Medical College. She is now a regular subscriber.

Strause was excited to receive the call notifying her of winning. "You're kidding!" she said. After being reassured that the call was not a prank, she said, "Hot day-em! I've never won anything in my life." She has subscribed since 2003.

NOVEMBER winners were Dr. Mary Todd, VP of academic affairs at Ohio Dominican University and Margaret Swanson, associate dean of health careers and public service at Illinois Central College in Peoria.
