Jean Minnick has been a force for change in the lives of young women at Davis & Elkins College and other female collegiate athletes across West Virginia.
Title IX was passed in 1972 just two years after Jean earned her PhD in physical education at New York University. Dr. Minnick knew she needed to help change happen for athletic girls, and it would not be easy in a small town private college. Nevertheless, she made it happen with persistence, patience and pizazz.
She was a well-educated woman in a man’s world where she was not getting equal pay for equal work. She earned her way up in the institutional hierarchy where men were usually the department chairs, and most people thought girls should be cheerleaders not athletes with good scholarships.
