ing and setting many new local, provincial and national age category records, she was one of the youngest Canadians in the history of modern Canadian women’s sprinting to have the preliminary opportunity to com-pete for a placement on the country’s 1992 Olympic team trials (Barcelona).

Tania studied industrial and consumer mar-keting habits at the University of Alabama. As a key team member for the Lady Tide, under the guidance of sprint coach Wayne Williams and former U.S. Olympic athlete Calvin Smith, she placed eighth at the SEC championships as a freshman, as well as running qualifying times for the NCAA Championships as a junior and a senior. In 1995 and again in 1996, Tania was one of several international athletes, competing in the U.S. on behalf of a U.S. college or uni-versity, invited to compete in the US Mobil Indoor Track and Field Championships; she sprinted in the 60m dash against the likes

Jin In knows personally the set-backs and ongoing chal-lenges of growing up female and impoverished in a gender-repressed culture. Although she was born to

a wealthy family in Seoul, South Korea, the death of her father when she was seven months old left her mother, her sister, and her destitute because “Korean property laws in those days did not recognize wives as blood relatives.” Her mother left Jin and her sister with grandparents in Korea and headed to the United States to learn English, to acquire a job, and to dream of reuniting with her daughters. They were reunited five years later in Houston, Texas.

After progressing in medical school, Jin came to the realization that medicine in most countries has “forgotten women…(who) are treated as second-class citizens (and they)…suffer needless brutalities, extreme poverty, acid attacks, ‘honor’ kill-ings, and violent rapes.” Her life’s mission soon became one of “empowering girls and women” globally by “combining global thinking with local action” that results in “glocal innovation.”

Now serving as the founder and president of 4Girls GLocal Leadership (4GGL), Jin has created a multigenerational and multi-international network of “women specialists and undergraduate students from the U.S” to cause “bold social change” in the ways the “world’s poorest girls” are valued, edu-cated, and developed as leaders.

Today, 4GGL “advances all eight Millen-nium Development Goals” of the United Nations and is positioned to serve nearly one-half million girls around the world. By attending to poverty as an outcome of gender inequity, Jin and her organization have caused a “total paradigm shift in the way we think about girls in the developing world—from victims of poverty to a power-ful force for change. Developing the lead-ership of girls and young women not only opens new vistas for them, but it can have a magnifying and transformative impact on traditional and repressive societies.”

Col., (USAF, Ret.) Lorry M. Fenner, Ph.D. serves as Director of the Conflict Records Research Center, of the Institute for National Strate-gic Studies, at the National Defense

University. Retired from the U.S. Air Force after 26 years as an intelligence officer and space operations officer as well as an academic, Dr. Fenner has held a variety of command and staff jobs worldwide.

In addition to assignments as a satellite system flight commander, signals intelli-gence squadron commander, deputy group commander, and vice wing commander, she served nearly five years as a professional staff member for the House Armed Services Committee acting as the staff lead for the Oversight and Investigations Subcommit-tee for four of those years. She also served as chief of intelligence force development at the Pentagon and in Major Command staffs, including the Air Staff, the Joint Staff (J-5, Strategy Division), and the Secretary of Defense’s staff. In 2001, she coauthored Women in Combat: Civic Duty or Military Liability?, published by Georgetown Uni-versity Press.

Dr. Fenner also served on the staff of the Scowcroft Commission (NSPD-5, Compre-hensive Review of Intelligence, 2001) and the 9-11 Commission (2003-2004), and as a Fellow at the Supreme Court of the United States (2002-2003). She taught history at the U.S. Air Force Academy and strategic studies at the National War College.

Dr. Fenner will serve in February of 2013 as Cottey College’s first Scholar-in-Resi-dence, and will work with Cottey students, faculty, and staff engaged in, or hoping to be engaged in student-led research.
