Interview with Candyce H. Carter : Alumni Stories
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- Candyce Heinsen Carter (1969 BA English and Psychology; 2014 MLA) shares memories of her undergraduate years at Stanford in the 1960s and her experience as a student in the MLA Program in the 2010s. Growing up in San Jose with Stanford alumni as parents, she recalls always having Stanford in her background. She describes dorm life in Roble Hall and living in a house on the Row and comments on how life on campus was shifting amid rising student activism and social change. She speaks about her academic courses in English and Psychology, fondly describes her study abroad experience in Beutelsbach, Germany, and relates the difficulties a fellow student experienced in dealing with an unwanted pregnancy. After retiring from a career in teaching, Carter returned to Stanford as a student in the Master of Liberal Arts program. She provides insight into attending the university again after almost forty years.
