STARKVILLE – Mississippi State, in conjunction with the Southeastern Conference, will honor the 50th anniversary of the passage of Title IX with a variety of initiatives throughout the 2022 calendar year. The year-long commemoration will highlight the passage of Title IX and what it has meant on a national scale, while celebrating and highlighting the success of women's athletics at Mississippi State.
To celebrate, Mississippi State is launching several notable initiatives within the athletic department that will occur throughout 2022.
"We are thrilled to begin this year-long celebration of 50 years of Mississippi State women's athletics," MSU Director of Athletics John Cohen said. "This is a tremendous opportunity to highlight the many extraordinary women of the past and present within our department, while also continuing our unwavering commitment to Title IX. We look forward to sharing incredible stories with the Mississippi State Family and educating our student-athletes, coaches and staff throughout the year."
The year-long campaign will kick off on Feb. 2, 2022, with the celebration of National Girls and Women in Sports Day. This year, Mississippi State Athletics will highlight student-athletes from each female sport for video features that will be released on National Girls and Women in Sports Day (Feb. 2).
Throughout the year, the department will recognize former MSU female coaches, student-athletes and others who have continued to further the legacy of Title IX.
"As a former student-athlete, and now an administrator, it is great to see the countless ways MSU has poured into women's athletics," said Deputy A.D./SWA & Chief Diversity Officer Ann Carr. "It is our job to continue to lead the way for other young ladies and show them they can be whatever they choose to be."
Over the course of 2022, Mississippi State will reflect on and celebrate the history behind the Title IX legislature, including the release of written pieces, digital content and video highlights.
