Drake University Athletics Introduces Elevate the IX Era
DES MOINES, Iowa -- Drake University athletics announced the beginning of Elevate the IX Era today. The Elevate the IX Era is a two-year effort the University is embarking on to celebrate Title IX and the nine current Drake University women's athletics programs.
"While women's athletics are inextricable from our campus life today, less than 50 years ago Drake University had no women athletes," said Drake University President Marty Martin. "Elevate the IX Era will be a time to reflect on our history, celebrate the women who have championed our progress, and discuss what more can be done."
