Frank Sefton
Criminal justice freshman
Criminal justice freshman Frank Sefton feels Women’s History Month is a good time to show women still struggle in competition with men.
“This month can help people realize that women still have struggle in having the same rights as men,” Sefton said. “The fact that women still get paid less it’s not right. It needs to be equal.”
Although Sefton is not involved with any of the women’s organizations on campus, he feels they can have a little more presence on campus.
“The ones that exist maybe need to be more active and more outspoken because it would seem that they would be doing more on campus,” Sefton said.
Sefton also said MSU is doing a good job by not restricting women in anything on campus.
“MSU doesn’t prevent women from doing things that men do,” Sefton said. “At the university, there is a level playing field for men and women because it is more based on merit rather than gender.”

Women at MSU have fought to get the rights they deserve on campus for decades. As part of Women’s History Month, women’s organizations on campus are showing students women can be successful in life.
