  • Resumen

  • Jan Powers is Professor Emerita of Interdisciplinary Studies and Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies at Gettysburg College. In this story Jan shares the challenges she faced being a female in academia. Jan began her career as a college professor in the late 1960’s. Archaic rules from the depression era as well as the cultural biases of the time only served as motivation for her to push the boundaries in her forty-nine-year career in higher education. Jan’s passion for teaching and strong determination are clear throughout her story.

    After retirement she did not slow down. For glimpse of her on-going activities read this article in the Gettysburg Connection.
