Today on “The Community Corner” we’re going back 50 years in time. Why? Throughout the late 1960s and early 1970s at least 20 different Jesuit colleges and universities began to admit female students in what became known as the coeducational movement. 

In this episode, hear from Susan Ross, professor of theology at Loyola University Chicago, about the history of Jesuit coeducation as well as from Georgetown University professor of history Katherine Benton-Cohen and CC Borzilleri (COL ’19), a former fellow for the Georgetown Women’s Alliance, about where Georgetown fits into this story. 

Listen to today’s episode to learn more about everything from the importance of Vatican II, the 21st council of the Roman Catholic Church in 1962, to the possibility of renaming buildings on Georgetown’s campus after influential female students.
