Interview with Carol Mitchell : Alumni Stories
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- Carol Mitchell (AB English, 1960) reflects on her time at Stanford in the late 1950s. She discusses her decision to attend and the process of getting a scholarship, as well as gender relations on campus, focusing on attitudes towards dating and marriage, the limited options open to women after graduation, and how these attitudes shaped her life after Stanford. She also briefly discusses her campus activities, including Ram’s Head, Gaieties, and Cap and Gown, and cites the influence of faculty members Tom Moser, Charles Fifer, and David Levin. Mitchell also describes the political and racial makeup of the student body during her student days, contrasting it to present-day Stanford, and talks about her continued involvement with the Stanford Alumni Association as a Class Notes correspondent.
