Women in Politics and Muskingum’s History Club hosted a history walk, on March 27 on the quad. 

This walk was to celebrate the end of women’s history month. Students were educated on special women in Muskingum’s history, as well as New Concord’s history. 

“It’s important because a lot of these famous women in history don’t get talked about enough,” said Kylie Andres, president of Women in Politics, “and some of the things they did were incredible and really impactful to our campus, and not enough people on campus know about them.”

Some of the historical women talked about during the walk were Anne Steele, Annie Glenn, and Agnes Moorehead. All of whom have left an impactful legacy on campus which can be seen today. Many other historical women were also featured. 

Students who joined in the walk received free t-shirts and goodie bags, courtesy of Women in Politics and the History Club.
