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 John Paul “J.P.” McKee. JP came to Winthrop University as a graduate student from 1975-1976 and graduated with a Master’s in Business Administration. He was hired in August 1976 as budget Analyst. He later became an Assistant Vice President and then under President Martha Kime Piper, he was promoted to Vice President for Finance and Business until he retired in 2018. In this interview he discusses his early Winthrop career and his experiences and impressions working with Winthrop President, Dr. Anthony DiGiorgio.
