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 Richard Bradley “Rich” Fowler, Jr., a 2006 graduate of Winthrop University. During his time at Winthrop from 2002 to 2006, Fowler served as Chair of the Council of Student Leaders, acting as the student representative to the Board of Trustees during the 2003–2004 and 2004–2005 academic years. He was honored with a "Resolution for Meritorious Service" by Winthrop University in 2005 (winthrop.edu) .He was also President of the Kappa Sigma fraternity. In this discussion, Fowler reflects on his experiences as a student leader and his interactions with President Dr. Anthony DiGiorgio, providing insights into the university's growth and development during that period.
