Mereb Mossman (1905-90) came to Woman's College of The University of North Carolina, which later became The University of North Carolina at Greensboro (UNCG) in 1937 as faculty in the Department of Sociology and Anthropology. She retired from UNCG in 1973 as vice chancellor for academic affairs. Mossman discusses the importance of bringing quality faculty to the institution during its transition periods and the introspection faculty and administration went through in order to determine the institution's future. She describes the decision to become coeducational, reactions to that event and preparations for the transition. She talks about the status of this institution within the state throughout its transitions and transitions of the state university system. She recalls the issue of the speaker ban, desegregation and the creation of additional doctoral programs.
