The University of Nebraska Athletic Department has kicked off a year-long celebration of the 50th anniversary of Title IX by launching a website (huskers.com/TitleIX) where fans can explore the history of Husker women's athletics, learn about upcoming Title IX anniversary events and hear directly from current and former student-athletes on the impact Title IX has made in their lives.
The year-long celebration unofficially began last Saturday, when Nebraska Athletics was a presenting sponsor for Nebraska Public Media's live taping of "Title IX: 50 Years in the Making" at the NU Coliseum. That round-table show featured Nebraska Athletic Hall of Fame members Carol Frost, Peaches James Keaton and Jordan Larson, along with former Husker women's basketball assistant coach Brenda VanLengen.
