This year marks the 50^th anniversary of the passage of Title IX, the law that requires all federally funded educational institutions to prohibit discrimination based on sex. Title IX opened a new world of opportunity for the generations of women since its passage, inspiring a movement for equal opportunity in classrooms, playing fields and boardrooms. Join us as we pay tribute to the impact of Title IX and reflect on 50 years of progress, while also acknowledging current challenges — and the potential for the next 50 years.
