I am a 1980 Graduate of UCSB and I don't think that this would have happened had it not been for Title IX. In 1978, I had just completed 2 years of Jr College, and I wanted to go to Santa Barbara to major in Oceanography. I had competed in a number of sports in High School, but I focused on Track & Field in College. I was competitive enough to earn a scholarship at UCSB that helped defray the total cost of attending. Had it not been for this financial assistance, I doubt I would have attended. I was the first person in my family of 10 to attend College, and I believe that this opportunity helped me set the bar for my younger siblings.
Now, 32 years later, I have 3 children, two of which who are in college. I am Vice President at Cardinal Health. My daughter also earned a scholarship (academic) and it was commensurate with her male peers. We have come a long way.
