The St. Louis Post-Dispatch talked with Natalie Sago, education alumna, about making history. Sago officiated a game between Charlotte and Orlando with Jenna Schroeder, making it the first time in league history that two women worked the same NBA contest.
Anne Winkler, chair of the Department of Economics and professor of economics and public policy administration, helped Business Insider examine how women’s careers are affected by flexible working conditions. Winkler noted that workers in nonprofessional jobs who request flexible hours are often assigned fewer hours, meaning they make less money.
Four UMSL alumnae – Stephanie Cernicek, Susan Cutler, Sara Foster and Opal Jones – were honored with St. Louis Business Journal C-Suite Awards as part of a celebration of business leadership in the St. Louis area. A special edition of the publication featured interviews with each honoree.
