Miriam Barkley (1952- ) obtained her undergraduate and graduate degrees at The University of North Carolina at Greensboro (UNCG) and returned to the university in 1982 to work in University Relations. Barkley recalls the activities on Tate Street in the early seventies, drug use among students and community members and the easement of restrictions for students living on campus. She discusses sociological attitudes, her role as a student senator and the tearing down of established university institutions during her time as a student. She speaks to the rift between the Alumni Association and university administration and gives her predictions for the future of UNCG.
