KALAMAZOO, Mich.- Celebrating the 40th Anniversary of Title IX, wmubroncos.com will run an online series which will reflect 40 key moments/people in the history of women's athletics at Western Michigan University.

Though the selection process, an effort was made to highlight a moment and a female player/coach from each of our current women's sports programs, as well pay respect to our women's legacy sports. The series, titled "40 in 40" will begin Tuesday, July 24, spanning 40 days with a different feature each day.

Adopted in 1972, 2012 marks the 40th Anniversary of the signing of Title IX. The act called for equal opportunities for women and banned the discrimination, on the basis of gender, of participation under any education program or activity receiving federal financial assistance, thus opening the door for women's athletics across the nation.
