In the 150 years since Margaret Boyd enrolled as a freshman at Ohio University, women have been doing remarkable things at OHIO. This year, the University celebrates their accomplishments and contributions with a special exhibit in Alden Library. Photographs, scrapbooks, handbooks, diaries, biographies and clippings from Ohio University Archives tell the stories of OHIO female students, administrators and professors, the challenges they faced on campus, the fun they had and the milestones they created. Just a few of the trailblazers included in the exhibit are Boyd (the first woman to earn a bachelor of arts at Ohio University), Gladys Bailin (the first woman to receive the Distinguished Professor Award), and Dr. Francine Childs (the first tenured African American professor).
Graduation and Cap Decorating Party (Wednesday, May 2, 3-7 p.m., Walter International Education Center): Let the graduation celebration begin! All graduating students are invited to join International Student and Faculty Services for a fun afternoon of decorating graduation caps and eating cake and snacks!
