Biographical / historical:

USF St. Petersburg Women's Organization, a group established in 1979, is an offshoot of the USF Women's Club in Tampa. Membership included staff, faculty, and spouses at USF St. Petersburg.

In a January 1979 memorandum to women on the St. Petersburg campus, Lois W. Boren (President of the USF Women's Club in Tampa) announced that Anita Kenerson, wife of Interim Dean David Kenerson, planned to have a coffee social for those interested in forming a women's organization at USF St. Petersburg. The first organizational meeting of a USF St. Petersburg Women's Group took place on May 17, 1979. A short time later, the USF St. Petersburg's Women's Organization formally organized and began its tradition of offering book scholarships and fundraisers. Membership included women faculty and staff, as well as the spouses of male faculty and staff.
