Telling Our Story: 130 Years of Aggie Women

Summary

Graphic for Telling Our Story: 130 Years of Aggie Women digital exhibit

“Women in the past have a dreadful tendency to disappear in a cloud of anonymity and silence,… and one does feel impelled to recover their voices and stories.” -Carolyn Heilbrun

From the opening of the Agricultural College of Utah in 1890 to present-day Utah State University, women have had a significant impact on the campus and the community. Telling Our Story: 130 Years of Aggie Women presents a selection of the stories of notable Aggie women whose stories have been recovered as part of USU’s Year of the Woman. Please join us in celebrating these women whose legacy and influence have been instrumental in the development of the university and community.
