Women's Basketball to Celebrate National Girls and Women in Sports Day February 18th
Northwestern women's basketball will celebrate the 37th Annual National Girls and Women in Sports Day (NGWSD) and the 50th Anniversary of Title IX during their game against Minnesota on February 18th at Welsh-Ryan Arena. Programming throughout the day is designed to build community as the program celebrates and lifts the amazing voices of those who continue to carve a path for girls and women on and off the playing field.
The day's activities will begin with a Women in Sports Panel, featuring representatives from the Bears, the Bulls, Gatorade and other Chicagoland organizations. The panel will be hosted from noon to 1:00 p.m. in the Wilson Club, and anyone with a ticket to that afternoon's game against Minnesota is encouraged to attend. Please RSVP here.
Following the panel, Northwestern student-athletes from various women's sports will be available for meet-and-greets in the concourse of Welsh-Ryan Arena. Representatives will include members of the field hockey program, which finished as the national runner-up in 2022.
For the first time, Northwestern will also invite girls eighth grade and younger to join the athletics staff for the day and contribute as junior members of the gameday team. Participants will have the opportunity to shadow a member of Northwestern's staff and gain hands-on experience working behind the scenes in college sports. Available positions include social media, journalism, marketing and more! For more information, visit our role descriptions, and to apply for a junior role, visit the application form.
Anybody with a ticket to the game against Minnesota is welcome to participate in the day's festivities. Single-game tickets are available for purchase here. In addition, tickets to the premium Full Court Experience, which includes access to the Wilson Club and unlimited food and beverages, are available for that afternoon's game. Packages are available with or without alcohol.
Northwestern women's basketball believes sport activates and inspires girls and women to gain confidence, strength, and character as they become strong leaders. The program looks forward to celebrating past, present and future leaders on February 18.
