About the Project

Women of Randolph-Macon Oral History Project LogoThis series of interviews entitled “The Women of Randolph-Macon” was undertaken in 2011 to commemorate the 40th anniversary of co-education at Randolph-Macon and is a subset of the “Living Legacies” oral history project focused on alumni and donors. Sponsored by the College’s Alumni Office, in conjunction with the McGraw-Page Library, the interviews were conducted in the summer of 2011 by Ray Varner ’11 under the guidance of Claire Stevens (Alumni Office) and Laurie Preston (McGraw-Page Library). Interviewees included women from classes ranging from 1975-1997 as well as one alumna, Eloise Goddin Piccolo ’45, who attended R-MC as one of the over 100 female day students who attended prior to 1971 when R-MC became a co-educational residential college. Several of the interviewees entered in the first co-educational class in 1971.
