University celebrates 40 years of women's
contributions
In recognition of the 40th anniversary of the admission of women as full-time students,
the University is conducting a yearlong series of events to draw attention to and
celebrate the contributions of women. In January 1969, Xavier's board of trustees voted
to accept women as full-time day students, and 52 women enrolled for the fall semester of
1969, thus ending 138 years of single-sex education at the traditionally all-male school.
Since then, women have made significant contributions to the growth and development of
the University. For more information, visit www.xavier.edu/celebratewomen. |
