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. The project aimed to document Winthrop’s transformation over Dr. DiGiorgio’s 24-year tenure, tracing the institution’s evolution from Winthrop College to Winthrop University. Designed to supplement Dr. Ross Webb’s The Torch is Passed, which chronicles Winthrop’s history up to Dr. DiGiorgio’s presidency, this project sought to provide a comprehensive account of this significant period.

A key component of the initiative was a series of recorded interviews with members of the extended Winthrop community who played a role in shaping the university’s progress. These firsthand narratives preserve the voices, experiences, and perspectives of those who contributed to Winthrop’s growth and development.

This interview features Thomas Stanley, who dedicated 27 years to Winthrop University before retiring in 2017 as the chair of the Department of Fine Arts. Appointed as the inaugural director of Winthrop University Galleries in 1990, Stanley advanced to department chair in 2007. In this conversation, he shares his experiences and insights from his tenure at Winthrop, including his interactions with President Dr. Anthony DiGiorgio.
