Going Back

I'm heading to Princeton today for three days of what is being billed as a celebration of women at Princeton, aptly titled, She Roars. According to current Princeton president Shirley Tilghman, "It has been 50 years since Princeton admitted its first female degree candidate, a graduate student in the Department of Oriental Studies, followed by the introduction of undergraduate coeducation in 1969. Together these events paved the way for the inclusive institution that we know today."

Of course those of us who attended Princeton in the seventies find it hard to believe that it is truly inclusive, it was so non-inclusive back then, so I am truly looking forward to reconnecting with old friends, classmates and meeting some new incredible women.

Hence, with all this roaring, I will be back on Monday, probably hoarse and sick of orange and black, but definitely proud of my stripes!

Have a nice weekend.
