Title IX at 50: Becky Schmidt ’99

What does Title IX mean to me? It means opportunity — the chance to compete in a sport that has given me some of my best friends and taught me countless lessons about perseverance, toughness, teamwork, and leadership. It means knowing that my teammates and I matter — that our passion and interests were as worthy as anyone else’s. It means appreciating the courage and drive that so many women before Title IX showed as they pursued their dreams despite inequitable challenges. It means helping to make sure that today’s female student-athletes never take for granted the amazing opportunities they have in front of them.
