In early April, the second annual GIRLS summit (Girls Increasing Representation Leadership) at Ohio Northern University brought middle school girls from Ada, Kenton and Upper Scioto Valley schools to meet and interact with local women in elected office as well as with women studying political science.
The guests were greeted by young women from the ONU Institute for Civics and Public Policy and Leaders’ Council. Emcee Alison Ringhiser, a sophomore Political Science Major, opened the event by encouraging the participants to “increase representation of women in any and all sectors.”
The event was created in response to research done by Dr. Theresa Schroeder Hageman, Adjunct Instructor of Political Science, on why the United States has a greater gender gap in elected office than other countries.
