Interview with Ann Engar : Alumni Stories
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- Ann Willardson Engar (AB English, 1975) reflects on her time at Stanford in the 1970s, sharing memories of her freshman dorm Arroyo, her experience as a member of the Church of Latter-Day Saints on campus, and her involvement with student groups such as Sequoia Magazine, Stanford Chorale, and the Stanford Film Society. She recalls memorable academic moments, including the impact of faculty members Arthur Mayer, Diane Middlebrook, George Brown, and Ian Watt; visiting speakers Alexander Solzhenitsyn and Jack Lemmon; and a reading by poet Adrienne Rich. She describes feminist activism on campus in response to a scandal at the Kappa Sigma fraternity in 1973 and recalls a strike by service workers on campus. Engar also discusses attending graduate school at the University of Washington and her career as a professor at the University of Utah.
