Abstract

This interview was conducted as part of the Winthrop History Project, an initiative led by Winthrop President Emeritus Dr. Anthony DiGiorgio and Rebecca Masters to document the university’s transformation from Winthrop College to Winthrop University during Dr. DiGiorgio’s 24-year presidency. Designed to supplement Dr. Ross Webb’s The Torch is Passed, which chronicles Winthrop’s history up to Dr. DiGiorgio’s tenure, this project aims to provide a comprehensive account of this pivotal period in the institution’s development.

A key component of the project is a collection of oral history interviews with members of the Winthrop community, including faculty, staff, alumni, and others who contributed to or witnessed the university’s growth. These firsthand accounts offer valuable insights into Winthrop’s evolution, presented in the voices and perspectives of those who experienced it.

Dr. William Rogers joined Winthrop University in 1989 and has served as a Professor of Biology for over three decades. Recognized for his contributions to academics and university service, Dr. Rogers was named Winthrop’s Distinguished Professor in 2002 and served as a faculty marshal from 2005 to 2010.

In this interview, Dr. Rogers reflects on his experiences as a faculty member, shares his impressions of Winthrop’s academic and institutional changes, and discusses his professional interactions with Dr. Anthony DiGiorgio during his presidency.
