[Whitledge, Bryan R]

2022 is the 50th anniversary of Title IX, the landmark legislation that prohibits sex-based discrimination in education and Central Michigan University has done quite a bit in commemoration.

-The Clarke Historical Library put together a web-exhibit exploring Title IX's impacts at CMU<https://clarke.omeka.net/exhibits/show/titleix/title-ix-at-cmu> and beyond. Learn more about the days of different curriculum and social rules for women and men, the pioneers and leaders of CMU athletics, and the efforts of students, staff, and faculty to raise awareness about and stamp out sexual violence.

-CMU honored six women's athletics legends as the 2022 Homecoming Grand Marshals<https://ls2.cmich.edu:444/trk/click?ref=zsk0p4lvb_2-11fe2x3ed50x0%110%11PUB499&>: Mary Bottaro, Christy Freese, Sue Guevara, Margo Jonker, Fran Koenig, and Marcy Weston. As part of the Homecoming festivities, the CMU Office of Alumni Relations, in partnership with the Title IX: Gender Equity Committee, CMU Athletics, the Office of Civil Rights and Institutional Equity, and the Clarke Historical Library, hosted a panel discussion about the importance of Title IX. Watch the recording<https://ls2.cmich.edu:444/trk/click?ref=zsk0p4lvb_2-11fe2x3ed51x0%110%11PUB499&>, featuring Coaches Freese, Guevara, Jonker, and Weston, and Tangela Cheatham, CMU's Deputy Athletic Director for Administration and Senior Woman Administrator.
