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 of longtime Director of the Alumni Office, Martha Hardin “Martie” Curran. Martie worked at Winthrop the 1980s until she retired in December 2015. She was born and raised in Rock Hill, SC and was a Winthrop Training School graduate (Class of 1960). In the interview she discusses her childhood growing up in Rock Hill and attending the Winthrop Training School, as well as her career at Winthrop.
