She was married to Robert Stitzel, former professor of pharmacology at WVU, from 1961 till his death in 2007. The couple had one son, David. Dr. Stitzel taught at West Virginia University from 1965 until her retirement in 1998. During that time, she served as a professor of English, director of the WVU Writing Lab, coordinator of the Women's Studies program, and director of the Center for Women's Studies. Dr. Stitzel was and continues to be active in many professional and community service organizations.","Dr. Stitzel received her B.A. in English from Barnard College (1961), her M.A. in English from the University of Wisconsin (1962), and her Ph.D. in English from the University of Minnesota (1968). She joined the West Virginia University faculty as an instructor in the Department of English in 1965 and taught at WVU until her retirement in May 1998 as professor emerita of English and women's studies. During her 33-year career at WVU, she served as the first director of the Writing Lab in the Department of English, taught some of the earliest courses on women in literature, was the first coordinator of the women's studies program (1980-1984) and the first director of the Center for Women's Studies (1984-1993). While director of the Center for Women's Studies, she established the annual JoAnne and Charles Dickinson symposium. From 1993 until her retirement, she was a professor of English and women's studies. ","Dr. Stitzel offered public and professional service to a wide variety of organizations, including the WVU Faculty Senate and Council for Women's Concerns, the West Virginia Humanities Council, and the National Women's Studies Association. She has received many honors for her teaching and commitment to social justice. Indeed, Dr. Stitzel's contributions to WVU and the state of West Virginia go far beyond her role as \"founding mother\" of women's studies in the state. Her outstanding teaching and her long-standing and outspoken advocacy for women and minorities on campus, in the community, and the state made her a role model for countless women and men who, in turn, were empowered by her support to be advocates for social justice. Dr. Stitzel's impact on the lives of these individuals is clear in the extraordinary retirement ceremony, otherwise known as the \"Judithon,\" that the Center for Women's Studies held for her in the fall of 1998. The West Virginia and Regional History Collection includes a copy of the program and a videotape of this event, which researchers should consult when using these papers.","In addition, Dr. Stitzel has kept a journal for many years. She has turned one of her journals into a book about the year after her husband's death, entitled  Field Notes From Grief: The First Year .","For more details on Dr. Stitzel's professional career, please ask a curator for her curriculum vitae.","These records document the professional life of Judith Gold Stitzel, professor of English and Women's Studies at West Virginia University. They include materials relative to her own education, her career at West Virginia University, her public and professional service, her publications and speeches, and her many awards and honors. These papers also detail the development of Women's Studies as part of the curriculum at West Virginia University. ","The collection includes extensive incoming and outgoing correspondence files that Dr. Stitzel maintained, some of which she arranged by correspondent and some of which she arranged by date, depending on the extent of her correspondence with an individual. These files include official correspondence and some personal correspondence. The collection also includes many letters of recommendation which were written for students, colleagues, and friends, as well as letters of support that she wrote for colleagues going through the promotion and tenure process at West Virginia University. These letters attest to the role that Dr. Stitzel played as advisor, counselor, and friend to current and former students, staff, and faculty at WVU, and elsewhere, throughout her career.","Dr. Stitzel's papers also include syllabi and course materials for a wide variety of courses, from introductory English composition to the senior capstone course in women's studies, as well as files that she kept on topics of current interest to her, with her comments on these topics.","Series 1.

She was married to Robert Stitzel, former professor of pharmacology at WVU, from 1961 till his death in 2007. The couple had one son, David. Dr. Stitzel taught at West Virginia University from 1965 until her retirement in 1998. During that time, she served as a professor of English, director of the WVU Writing Lab, coordinator of the Women's Studies program, and director of the Center for Women's Studies. Dr. Stitzel was and continues to be active in many professional and community service organizations.","Dr. Stitzel received her B.A. in English from Barnard College (1961), her M.A. in English from the University of Wisconsin (1962), and her Ph.D. in English from the University of Minnesota (1968). She joined the West Virginia University faculty as an instructor in the Department of English in 1965 and taught at WVU until her retirement in May 1998 as professor emerita of English and women's studies. During her 33-year career at WVU, she served as the first director of the Writing Lab in the Department of English, taught some of the earliest courses on women in literature, was the first coordinator of the women's studies program (1980-1984) and the first director of the Center for Women's Studies (1984-1993). While director of the Center for Women's Studies, she established the annual JoAnne and Charles Dickinson symposium. From 1993 until her retirement, she was a professor of English and women's studies. ","Dr. Stitzel offered public and professional service to a wide variety of organizations, including the WVU Faculty Senate and Council for Women's Concerns, the West Virginia Humanities Council, and the National Women's Studies Association. She has received many honors for her teaching and commitment to social justice. Indeed, Dr. Stitzel's contributions to WVU and the state of West Virginia go far beyond her role as \"founding mother\" of women's studies in the state. Her outstanding teaching and her long-standing and outspoken advocacy for women and minorities on campus, in the community, and the state made her a role model for countless women and men who, in turn, were empowered by her support to be advocates for social justice. Dr. Stitzel's impact on the lives of these individuals is clear in the extraordinary retirement ceremony, otherwise known as the \"Judithon,\" that the Center for Women's Studies held for her in the fall of 1998. The West Virginia and Regional History Collection includes a copy of the program and a videotape of this event, which researchers should consult when using these papers.","In addition, Dr. Stitzel has kept a journal for many years. She has turned one of her journals into a book about the year after her husband's death, entitled  Field Notes From Grief: The First Year .","For more details on Dr. Stitzel's professional career, please ask a curator for her curriculum vitae.","These records document the professional life of Judith Gold Stitzel, professor of English and Women's Studies at West Virginia University. They include materials relative to her own education, her career at West Virginia University, her public and professional service, her publications and speeches, and her many awards and honors. These papers also detail the development of Women's Studies as part of the curriculum at West Virginia University. ","The collection includes extensive incoming and outgoing correspondence files that Dr. Stitzel maintained, some of which she arranged by correspondent and some of which she arranged by date, depending on the extent of her correspondence with an individual. These files include official correspondence and some personal correspondence. The collection also includes many letters of recommendation which were written for students, colleagues, and friends, as well as letters of support that she wrote for colleagues going through the promotion and tenure process at West Virginia University. These letters attest to the role that Dr. Stitzel played as advisor, counselor, and friend to current and former students, staff, and faculty at WVU, and elsewhere, throughout her career.","Dr. Stitzel's papers also include syllabi and course materials for a wide variety of courses, from introductory English composition to the senior capstone course in women's studies, as well as files that she kept on topics of current interest to her, with her comments on these topics.","Series 1.

She was married to Robert Stitzel, former professor of pharmacology at WVU, from 1961 till his death in 2007. The couple had one son, David. Dr. Stitzel taught at West Virginia University from 1965 until her retirement in 1998. During that time, she served as a professor of English, director of the WVU Writing Lab, coordinator of the Women's Studies program, and director of the Center for Women's Studies. Dr. Stitzel was and continues to be active in many professional and community service organizations.","Dr. Stitzel received her B.A. in English from Barnard College (1961), her M.A. in English from the University of Wisconsin (1962), and her Ph.D. in English from the University of Minnesota (1968). She joined the West Virginia University faculty as an instructor in the Department of English in 1965 and taught at WVU until her retirement in May 1998 as professor emerita of English and women's studies. During her 33-year career at WVU, she served as the first director of the Writing Lab in the Department of English, taught some of the earliest courses on women in literature, was the first coordinator of the women's studies program (1980-1984) and the first director of the Center for Women's Studies (1984-1993). While director of the Center for Women's Studies, she established the annual JoAnne and Charles Dickinson symposium. From 1993 until her retirement, she was a professor of English and women's studies. ","Dr. Stitzel offered public and professional service to a wide variety of organizations, including the WVU Faculty Senate and Council for Women's Concerns, the West Virginia Humanities Council, and the National Women's Studies Association. She has received many honors for her teaching and commitment to social justice. Indeed, Dr. Stitzel's contributions to WVU and the state of West Virginia go far beyond her role as \"founding mother\" of women's studies in the state. Her outstanding teaching and her long-standing and outspoken advocacy for women and minorities on campus, in the community, and the state made her a role model for countless women and men who, in turn, were empowered by her support to be advocates for social justice. Dr. Stitzel's impact on the lives of these individuals is clear in the extraordinary retirement ceremony, otherwise known as the \"Judithon,\" that the Center for Women's Studies held for her in the fall of 1998. The West Virginia and Regional History Collection includes a copy of the program and a videotape of this event, which researchers should consult when using these papers.","In addition, Dr. Stitzel has kept a journal for many years. She has turned one of her journals into a book about the year after her husband's death, entitled  Field Notes From Grief: The First Year .","For more details on Dr. Stitzel's professional career, please ask a curator for her curriculum vitae.","These records document the professional life of Judith Gold Stitzel, professor of English and Women's Studies at West Virginia University. They include materials relative to her own education, her career at West Virginia University, her public and professional service, her publications and speeches, and her many awards and honors. These papers also detail the development of Women's Studies as part of the curriculum at West Virginia University.
