Bailie Brown doesn t consider herself a trailblazer, and yet in a way she is â and so is her school.
Brown will graduate this month from Syracuse Universityâs Falk College with a Bachelor of Science degree in sport analytics, becoming the first woman to complete the four-year undergraduate program since its inception five years ago. Her 23 classmates are men.
