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.
This interview is with Dr. Marsha S. Bollinger, Winthrop Professor Emerita of Geology. Dr. Bollinger came to Winthrop in 1986, having served as the Dalton Endowed Chair of Environmental Sciences and Studies from 2002-2015 and as the chair of Interdisciplinary Studies from August 2011-2021. In this interview, Dr. Bollinger discusses her experiences teaching at Winthrop and working under Dr. DiGiorgio’s tenure as president of Winthrop.
