On March 16, 2022, more than 180 alumni, parents, students, and faculty came together virtually to discuss the evolving role of women at Brown over the past 130 years. The evening featured a special welcome from President Christina H. Paxson and remarks from Sarah Doyle Center for Women and Gender Director Felicia Salinas-Moniz AM’06 PhD’13 — both of whom paid homage to Brown’s female change-makers from generations past while expressing excitement for the future achievements of Brunonian women.
The group then split into 15 breakout rooms to continue the conversation in smaller groups, discussing the evolution of personal identities as well as the history of women’s contributions to Brown, the ongoing fight for gender equity, and how Brown can best support students, alumni, and faculty moving forward. Centered around the question “Where have we been and where are we going?” the evening drew a direct connection between past, present, and future generations of Brown women.
