Margaret G. Klemer (1916-2003) was a founding faculty member of the School of Nursing at The University of North Carolina at Greensboro (UNCG) from 1967-1981. She came to the university with her husband, Richard Klemer, who was chair of the Department of Human Development and Family Studies in the School of Home Economics from 1967 until his death in 1972. Klemer recalls planning the framework and the curriculum of the new School of Nursing, her time as director of continuing education at the school, the leadership of Dean Eloise Lewis and her rapport with other new nursing faculty. She describes her responsibilities when she was put in charge of developing the master's in nursing program, maternity practices in local hospitals and the program whereby nursing students followed a woman through her pregnancy under the direction of her obstetrician. She talks about nursing professor Ernestine Small, the first black faculty member at UNCG.
