We had no locker room. Laurie was invited to speak as part of the school's celebration of Women's History Month. In her remarks Laurie commented that the position of women at Baylor has improved just as it has for women in the workforce. We all have come a long way, but we have a long way to go. We have to work to change the rules.
Women are in the room.
Women can do great things. Now we just have to exercise that power to do great things. Laurie attended Emory University where she was also a member of the swim team. She graduated magna cum laude with a double major in English and Women's Studies and later graduated from Emory's School of Law. She is currently practicing law with Chambers, Rickard in Atlanta.
