Meet The Center
Meet The Center DREAMING IS EASY, but often when we attempt to make those dreams a reality the world laughs and shuts the door. The Center for Women and Gender works to create opportunities and open doors. So, we asked our incredible staff...
When faced with an obstacle, how have you responded?
“...I went through the front door anyway.” At the end of my senior year, all of the Kennecott scholarship winners were invited to the Alta Club in Salt Lake City for a celebratory dinner. There was a sign on the front door of the club that stated firmly, “Women and those making deliveries must go to the west door.” I walked around to the west door and found it was a teensy little hole at the end of an alley. I was sure the boogeyman waited in the alley, so I went through the front door anyway.”
“Take a deep breath.” Reni McBride Staff Assistant
Dr. Ann M. Berghout Austin Professor & Center Director
Every day we are faced with obstacles. I have learned to take a deep breath, look, listen, and then act. If that doesn’t work, then smile and tomorrow is a new day to try again.
