On Monday, Nov. 5, the Carleton College PEAR Department is hosting a celebration for the campus community in honor of the 40th anniversary of Title IX, federal legislation that was initially intended to give women more opportunities in higher education, with access to athletics a mere side effect. By opening the gates to gyms, stadiums and playing fields, however, Title IX changed the way women in America see themselves. Free popcorn will be available in the West Gym lobby as students enter. Carleton’s “Take Back the Tap” program encourages you to BYOWB (bring your own water bottle).
