The Big Ten announced that the conference will host its first annual Women’s Leadership Summit in commemoration of the 50th anniversary of Title IX. Among the coaches invited was Maryland field hockey coach Missy Meharg.
The event is taking place at the conference headquarters in Rosemont, Illinois, and will last through Friday with 75 student-athletes, coaches and administrators in attendance.
“This event is a celebration of the 50th anniversary of Title IX and a reflection of our unwavering commitment to delivering transformational educational experiences and growth opportunities to our student-athletes,” commissioner Kevin Warren said.
Meharg is entering her historic 35th season as the Terps head coach, making her one of the longest-tenured coaches in the history of college sports.
