[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Now I want to be a member of the Cosmos Club![/quote]

Well, I do, too, but as a woman of color, the odds are slim that someone at my university would nominate me for membership. I've seen enough to realize this despite the fact that I've published, am tenured, and held leadership positions in my field. And I can afford the dues. Given how few tenured women of color there are in academia, you'd think that it would be relatively easy for Cosmos Club members to identify us as potential future members. And I know that there are white people who've held high level administrative positions at my university who are, in fact, members. They literally just do not see us as social peers.[/quote]

If you are everything you say you are, you are exactly the kind of person the Cosmos Club wants. Women of color are the least represented in the nomination/admittance process. But you need to have a member know you personally to nominate/sponsor you. [/quote]
