Flashback Friday: Women's history at UB

In 1922, Lillias McDonald, the first dean of women, helped establish a physical education program for the 200 women who attended UB at the time. The Women's Athletic Association, part of the P.E. program and run by a student governing council, developed a foundation for UB women's athletics that "would be strong enough to stand the test of time."
