MILWAUKEE – As part of a weeklong kickoff to Marquette University’s Centennial Celebration of Women, four alumnae from the 1940s, ‘50s, ‘60s and ‘80s will share their stories of how their Marquette experience shaped who they are today. In 1909, Marquette became the first Catholic university in the world to offer coeducation as part of its regular undergraduate program.

Mike Gousha, distinguished fellow in law and public policy, will moderate “Living History: Marquette Women Through the Decades” at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 6, in the third-floor ballroom of the Alumni Memorial Union, 1442 W. Wisconsin Ave.

The panelists are:
  • Ann Brandt Druml, College of Nursing, 1943
  • Sandy Zilg Pavlic, College of Arts and Sciences, 1951
  • Patricia Kennedy Kraninger, College of Speech, 1968
  • Kathleen Hintze Spears, College of Arts and Sciences, 1984
The women will address what opportunities their alma mater gave them to go forth and be the difference and how Marquette of the past is different, and not so different, from Marquette today.

Those who would like to attend the free event can register online.

Media who would like to attend the panel discussion should contact Christopher Stolarski in the Office of Marketing and Communication at (414) 288-1988 or christopher.stolarski@marquette.edu.
