A Note From the President
IMPROVING LEARNING TO IMPROVE WOMEN’S LIVES “If you educate a man, you educate an individual. If you educate a woman, you educate a nation.” Most often attributed to Ghanaian scholar James Emman Kwegyir Aggrey, this nearly 100-year-old quote is both relevant and urgent today. The importance of educating women remains our critical mission, a mission that is not waning. Since the 1980s, women have outpaced men when it comes to earning college degrees in the United States. And, while education is a key indicator of economic and workplace success, women still lag in pay and access to opportunity. Women make up 50.2% of the college-educated workforce, and yet only 6.6% of the Fortune 500 companies are run by women. Mary Dana Hinton CSB President 2
