DR. BENSE IN FLORIDA WOMEN’S HALL OF FAME

University of West Florida President Emeritus Dr. Judith Bense has been selected to be a member of the Florida Women’s Hall of Fame. The Florida Commission on the Status of Women inducted Bense during a ceremony on Oct. 28, 2019, in Orlando. The Florida Women’s Hall of Fame honors up to three women each year who have made significant contributions to the improvement of life for women and all Florida citizens. Bense is the first inductee from Northwest Florida. She said starting the Anthropology/Archaeology program at UWF from scratch and building it into a large and respected national level program was her greatest accomplishment.
