Paula A. Andris (1926- ) worked for Vice Chancellors Mereb Mossman, Stanley Jones and Elisabeth Zinser from 1959-1986. Her career began when The University of North Carolina at Greensboro (UNCG) was known as Woman's College of the University of North Carolina, and she retired from the position of assistant to the vice chancellor for academic affairs after twenty-seven years of service. Andris describes the administrative styles of Mereb Mossman, Stan Jones, and Elisabeth Zinser, the responsibilities of the office of academic affairs and how it evolved over the years and the allocation of funds among schools in the University of North Carolina System. She explains the transition from a mostly-female to mostly-male faculty, the involvement of faculty in the academic program over the years and the advent of computer use on campus. She also describes the one-year Commercial Certification Program from which she graduated in 1944.
