While most know Mary Louise Rasmuson for her extraordinary philanthropy and the many structures, organizations and foundations that hold her and her husband's namesake, what many don鈥檛 know about Mary Louise was her incredible contribution to pioneering women鈥檚 work and rights in the U.S. military. She is an inspiration to many, but for Vanessa Meade, assistant professor in 彩神vlll争霸鈥檚 School of Social Work and Army veteran, Rasmuson holds an extra special place in her heart. Meade is the coordinator for a new community-based project Operation Mary Louise (OML), named after Rasmuson, a woman she greatly admires for her military and leadership service. She hopes the project will shed light on Rasmuson's military contributions and all the women in Alaska who have served.
