GRANVILLE, Ohio (September 23, 2022) – As a part of its year-long celebration for the 50th anniversary of Title IX, Denison University Athletics will be holding a special Title IX 50th Anniversary Mural unveiling during Big Red Weekend.

The official unveiling of the mural featuring both past and present Denison female student-athletes, created by current Big Red junior field hockey player Kate Hinshaw '24, will take place inside the Mitchell Center at 5 p.m. on Friday, September 30, just before the annual Denison Varsity D Hall of Fame Reception and Ceremony.

Hinshaw spoke on the project, saying, "I started working on this project in the Spring of 2022 when I was asked to be the student representative on the Denison Athletic Department's Title IX Committee. Like any big undertaking, there have been challenges, but this project has been especially rewarding because I have had the opportunity to connect with so many amazing women who paved the way for female athletes at Denison. It has been an incredible opportunity to hear the stories from the women in these photos and I am honored to play a role in celebrating efforts to make gender equality a reality since the Title IX bill was signed in 1972."

Denison Athletics would like to invite the Denison community to participate in this special celebration of women in sports and Title IX.

"We are very proud of the hard work Kate has put into this project and are excited to share it with the rest of the Denison Community," said Denison's Deputy Title IX Coordinator for Athletics Sara Lee.
