Posted By: Kennedy Williams on June 23, 2022 The Department of Athletics at Bowie State University recognizes the 50th anniversary of Title IX's passage into law. The landmark legislation of Title IX was passed on June 23, 1972, and prohibited discrimination based on sex across all federally funded education programs. In addition to providing several new opportunities for women, Title IX is best known for creating a pathway for female athletes and transforming women's sports throughout the country. This year, Bowie State Athletics will mark the passage of Title IX with digital content, giving opportunities, celebrations and special recognition moments as the Bulldogs commemorate five decades of women's sports advancement and the opportunities that have blossomed in that time. Bowie State Athletics takes pride in the advancement of women's sports at Bowie State since Title IX's inception.
