Watch "The Rise: 45 Years of Female Greatness and Beyond"
The University of San Francisco has been the home of many female pioneers, in the classroom, on the field of competition, and throughout the world. With the help of Title IX legislation, those women have grown a program, and in turn, become a driving force in the history of the Dons.
From some of the first women to suit up in the Green and Gold to USF's first female national champion, this is 45 years of greatness and beyond. "The Rise," chronicles not only the decades since Title IX legislation was signed into law, but also hears from the visionaries at USF that saw the merits in a co-ed education, that also included sports, even before Birch Bayh's Education Amendments of 1972 became the law of the land.
