ARCHIVED: Hail to Her: Celebrating 50 Years of Title IX at Pitt
Presented by Edgar Snyder & Associates
Pitt Athletics will honor its historic past beginning June 23, which marks the 50th anniversary of Title IX, with a year-long celebration of key figures and moments in women’s athletics at the University of Pittsburgh. Title IX’s impact on equity and opportunity in collegiate athletics, both at Pitt and nationwide, cannot be understated. This anniversary is deserving of the brightest spotlight to shine on where we’ve been and, even more importantly, where we still need to go.
Pitt will commemorate its Title IX legacy—titled “Hail to Her”—by celebrating its former and current student-athletes, coaches and administrators through a variety of events, initiatives, and social campaigns over the next 12 months
“June 23, 2022 is a momentous day as it gives us the opportunity to celebrate 50 years since the passage of Title IX and the opportunities the law created for women in sports,” said Pitt Director of Athletics Heather Lyke. “Our year-long celebration is a display of appreciation to the giant shoulders we all stand on from the women who paved the way and more importantly allows us to focus on the next 50 years and the continued progress we will make for women.”
