OLLI Presents “Those Were the Days” October 18 at 2:00pm

Description

After Title IX passed, the narrative for women in post-high school education has been irreversibly revolutionized. In 1968, half a decade before Title IX was enacted, the number of adult men with a bachelor’s degree or higher doubled that of females. After 1972, however, the number of women with that same qualification steadily climbed upwards while the number of males stayed relatively the same. In 2012, 40 years after Title IX, the U.S. Department of Justice reported that females now had 10 percent more degrees from higher education than males. We invite you to join us in learning about Texas Tech University’s history of women’s athletics from the beginning of Title IX to now. • Wednesday, October 18, 2017 • 2:00-3:30pm • Fee: $15 • Location: TBD • Instructor: Judi Henry and Marsha Sharp If you would like to obtain a catalog or would like to view all of the non-credit offerings designed for adults age 50+ from OLLI this fall semester, call 806-742-6554 or visit www.olli.ttu.edu.
