Celebrating Women's History Month

Kate Hallihan, assistant dean of students and instruction and the chief diversity officer, reflects on her mom’s passion for equity and how that made a lasting impact on her as a young girl — and continues to impact the generations of women in her family. 

Lisa Frazier, senior researcher, looks back on her mother’s inspiring life and the things she accomplished against all odds. Dr. Andrews Frazier worked twice as hard in medical school as a woman in the ’60s, but she flourished. She volunteers her time to fight climate change and shares local history to preserve democracy.

AnnaBell Kinsel, Glenn College event manager, admires her charismatic, assertive, well-educated Nonna. As a first-generation immigrant and the first in her family to go to college, she perpetuated the importance of education. She supported her children and grandchildren through college degrees and even taught at Carnegie Mellon University well into her 80s.
