In honor of International Women’s Day, President Carol Folt hosted a Herstory event Monday, opening up the celebration by sharing how the women in her own life have inspired her through their resilience, compassion and creativity.
“We all have heroes and role models around us,” Folt said. “In my own life, I can think of my mother and her mother and all those who came before them, and I can think of my daughter and her daughter and all those who will come after them. And I think of my many colleagues and my students over the years, intelligent strong women working alongside me in labs and in administrative roles and as academic leaders.”

LOS ANGELES (CNS) - American adults without a college degree have experienced greater reductions in life expectancy when compared to their more-educated counterparts, according to a study by USC and Princeton released today.
The study reveals that after nearly a century of declining mortality up to the late 1990s, the progress continued into the 21st century for more-educated Americans but stalled for the population as a whole and reversed for the two-thirds of Americans who do not have a college degree.
The study, which appears in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, examined overall mortality in the United States using records spanning from 1990 to 2018. Assuming that mortality rates at each age remained constant at their level in each year, the researchers then calculated how long a 25-year-old could expect to live up until the age of 75.

Researchers say those with a college degree increasingly live longer and more prosperous lives while those without face rising mortality and declining prospects.
