Description

Sarah "Sally" M. Robinson (1939-) graduated in 1961 from Woman's College of the University of North Carolina, now UNC Greensboro, with a Bachelor of Science in Physical Education. She received her Master of Science in 1964 from Springfield College, Massachusetts, and her PhD from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1974. Robinson talks about her academic experience as a student at Woman's College, working at various campus offices between semesters, and student life in the dormitories. She discusses her experience as a professor at other universities and at UNC Greensboro, the impact on the college during the transition to university status and co-education in the 1960s; the Home Economics Cafeteria; male faculty; and the music, home economics, nursing, and physical education departments transition to school status. Robinson also recalls strengths and weaknesses in different departments and interdepartmental relationships. She touches on the Civil Rights Movement and goes into detail about the integration movement in the Greensboro public schools. Robinson speaks about women in leadership roles at the college, faculty meetings, the development of the Master's in Fine Arts program at Woman's College, and the dance labanotation system. She recalls her education and career history, planning her own master's program, working with The Society for People with Disabilities, and attending the Southern Association for Physical Education for College Women meetings.
