Interview with Nancy Young : Alumni Stories
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- Nancy Young (AB Political Science, 1962) explains that the moments in her life that had the most meaning were when she “was touched by capital ‘g’ Goodness.” She shares stories of her time studying abroad at Stanford in Italy where she was able to see different walks of life, realize her own privilege, and broaden her perspective. Young also speaks about playing golf and tennis and the discrimination towards women in athletics at the time. She reflects on her active dating and social life and being a Dollie, or pom-pom girl. She narrates her time after Stanford, which included raising a family, volunteering, and working in various human development and human resources roles, and speaks about her ongoing efforts to empower others.
