\"\"<\/a> OSU Women’s History Timeline<\/p>\n

In honor of Women’s History Month, the OMA was delighted to attend the OSU Women’s Center Women’s History Month Reception that featured OSU women’s stories!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The first part of the event was a fun history lesson via a crossword puzzle. Event attendees viewed four timelines pertaining to women’s history at OSU, in Oregon, in the United States, and on the global level.<\/p>\n

For the second part of the event,\u00a0Roni Sue, of the Office of Equity and Inclusion<\/a>, facilitated a discussion asking the questions “Where have we (women) been? and Where are\u00a0we going?” As a group we analyzed the timelines to think about how far we’ve come and yet also, what was missing and how much work towards equality lies ahead.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>The group brainstormed a lot of ideas for actions that the OSU community can begin to take towards achieving equity:<\/p>\n

– Seek out others who are different from ourselves to gain new perspectives
\n– Explore ways to highlight women’s contributions to the campus
\n– Build collaborations between all six CRCs as well as campus departments<\/p>\n

– Create more leadership opportunities for young women and create a support system
\n– Invite men to learn and participate in\u00a0events regarding women’s issues and\u00a0actions toward\u00a0equity for all
\n– Identify barriers\u00a0and develop solutions for women to be successful professionals
\n– And these were just a few of the many great ideas developed;\u00a0we look forward to the continued conversation!<\/p>\n
