Abstract

This interview was conducted for the as part of the Winthrop History Project spearheaded by Winthrop President Emeritus Dr. Anthony DiGiorgio and Rebecca Masters to “document the 24-year path of the original Winthrop College to becoming Winthrop University.” This effort was to produce a history of the institution and Dr. DiGiorgio’s tenure as president as a supplement to Dr. Ross Webb’s history of Winthrop (The Torch is Passed) that covered Winthrop history up to Dr. DiGiorgio becoming president. A key aspect of the project was a series of audio-taped interviews conducted with various members of the extended Winthrop community who participated in or helped guide the advancement of Winthrop over these years. That way, the Winthrop story will be told in an array of participants’ own words, own voices and from their own perspectives.

In her March 31, 2015 interview with Rebecca Masters, Vivian Carroll recalls her time at Winthrop as a day student in the early 1970s graduating in 1973 and later served on the Winthrop Alumni Board. Carroll shares her opinions on DiGiorgio’s administration and how Winthrop has changed since the 1970s. Vivian Moore Carroll Hall on Winthrop’s campus was named in her honor which features the Carroll Capital Markets Training and Trading Center, a facility that connects students to global markets through interactive technology.
