This exhibit explores select notable women in the university’s history who have made significant contributions to the institution, the state of Oregon, or made a national impact. 

Some of these women fought for women’s suffrage, equal pay, and others served in Congress.  Others were the heads of dormitories, started literary organizations, and fundraised for better living facilities on campus. All of these women made a lasting impact in the lives on their colleagues and the students they served.
