This from last fall's Title IX at 50 forum, where Kelly Amonte Hiller demonstrated yet again what an amazing coach and role model she is and how lucky we all are to have her. Congrats! And thank you! Nobody gets up like NU women's athletics and @NULax
Entire NU lacrosse program here to listen to their leader. “It’s totally OK to falter and amazing to get up. We faltered last season and I couldn’t be prouder of the way we got up … and we’re going to keep getting up each day.”
“@Carynward123, assoc. prof @MedillSchool who served on the @NUTitleIX50 committee, said, “We absolutely accomplished our mission to look at the past, where we’ve been, where it stands now and what work still needs to be done.” #TitleIX50#genderequity”

It’s no surprise that the nation’s best and most comprehensive Title IX 50th anniversary commemoration happened at Northwestern — a school that has taken women’s sports seriously from the beginning, with great results. @NU_Sports@thedailynu@DailyNU_Sports@MedillSchool
Thank you for all your work on our website along with Vikram! It took a Medill village and a small Northwestern army to pull this off. Kate Lee was another hero, Jackie Wickham was great, Dorina Rasmussen, @karenspringen @LarryStuelpnage @erinkarter … amazing!
@mkisaacson @NUTitleIX50 Congratulations, Missy! Thank you for all the time and effort you put into creating @NUTitleIX50. Such a thoughtful examination into the power of those 37 words and their potential going forward.
We were honored as well and so grateful to have you here to share more with us about your wonderful mother. The session was unforgettable, thanks to you and @trublu24! Glad you’re home!
@trublu24 @NUTitleIX50@bgproudfoot So honored to be her daughter. She is immensely missed! @NUTitleIX50, thank you for recognizing her contributions to the game. @trublu24 Thanks for capturing the essence of so many women who love the game, and @bgproudfoot thanks for being eager to tell her story!!
I could not be prouder of my @MedillSchool colleagues @mkisaacson @carynward123 for their vision & leadership of this multi-day campus wide commemoration of Title IX. Go to @NUTitleIX50 & check out the pics & recaps. It was an *honor* to be a part of this 💜
On biggest difference b/w coaching males and females. “One of biggest differences I see is that females tend to be way more critical of themselves. I understand that. I understand that and want to build them up. …,” said @AMONTESPORTS
On mental health for women student athletes, @katedrohan: “I’m confident all 19 of our sports talk about this on a daily basis at NU. We’ve been talking about this for a long time.”
Work-life balance? “You own the guilt and then you just erase it,” said NU Dep. AD @JannaBlais … Coaching in Feb., @katedrohan tells of being asked who was home with her daughter. “I was like, ‘Have you asked every other man here?’ We change (attitude) 1 conversation at a time.”
“It’s incredibly important to hire women to coach women,” said @katedrohan. … “(And) until there are just as many women coaching men as men coaching women, then I’ll stop my crusade. I feel very passionate about it.”
