I attended two graduation ceremonies earlier this month, including the University of Georgia gala replete with fireworks at Sanford Stadium. At both events, I was struck with how many more women than men crossed the stage.
As my husband saw the UGA grads line up in our daughter’s major, he joked if she had wanted an all-women’s environment, she could have saved us all the parking fees (and parking tickets) by walking the four blocks from our house to nearby Agnes Scott College.
Afterward, I looked at the latest University System of Georgia enrollment data for the spring semester that just concluded. The total UGA undergraduate and graduate enrollment was 39,373 students, 59% of whom were female.
