JOIN NICHOLLS IN CELEBRATING THE 50TH ANNIVERSARY OF TITLE IX!
Nicholls Athletics is kicking off a crowdfunding effort to recognize and celebrate the impact of Title IX on Colonel student-athletes. Alumni, donors and friends are asked to invest in women’s athletics by supporting women’s athletics through the University’s fundraising site.
“Women’s teams make up 9 of the 17 sports at Nicholls and nearly 40% of Nicholls student-athletes are female and come to the University from 20 states and 14 countries. Making a gift to support our women’s teams shows a commitment to allowing everyone a seat at the table and showing that we are N This Together,” Athletic Director Jonathan Terrell said.In recognition of the 50th anniversary, Athletics has set a goal of 122 gifts for the campaign. The 122-gift total represents the 122 female student-athletes at Nicholls.
The crowdfunding effort is underway and will continue until November 18. The celebration will be capped off with a special salute to Title IX at the football game against Southeastern Louisiana on November 17, 2022.
“It is important to us to not only celebrate our women but also to encourage men to be a part of the conversation as well,” said Hillary Charpentier, Director of the Colonel Athletic Association. “Nicholls is proud to be committed to expanding the opportunities for women on and off campus while celebrating the past, present and future.”
Join the Nicholls community in celebrating this historic milestone while continuing to strive for future excellence. For more information about the Title IX crowdfunding effort, contact Hillary Charpentier at hillary.charpentier@nicholls.edu or by calling 985-448-4234.
