Beverly L. Herbert '75, MCP '76, Principal at The Herbert Group, earned her SB and MCP degrees at MIT in Urban Studies and Planning. 

I was active in building the women's basketball team, ensuring we received more resources, better coaching, uniforms, practice time, and moved it to varsity status.  Our first coach was the women's gymnastics coach. And there are more stories of our struggles and determination. 

I also served on the MIT Student Athlete Advisory Committee.
