Trent University celebrating its 60th birthday brings a time to look into the past to remember where our university started, and everyone who had a hand in making it what it is today. While reflecting on those who we remember, we should also remember the women of the Trent community who made many contributions throughout the university’s history. From principals to community advocates, there has always been a strong female spirit in Trent’s life.

September is recognized internationally as PCOS awareness month. From my story, it should be easy to understand the significance of adequate representation regarding any social/medical/political issues. Without the hormonal health anecdotes from a reality television star, I wouldn’t have felt the confidence at 16, 17, or 18 years-old to advocate so strongly for myself in front of numerous physicians who attempted to convince me that I was too young or naive to understand my health and what I was experiencing.
