- Title:
- Cathy Sterling oral history interview, November 2, 2010
- Description:
- Sterling discusses being one of the few women at NC State, raising the issue of why students were charged Athletics fees, becoming the first woman student body president and the hostility she received, Chancellor John Caldwell, Vietnam War protests and the Peace Retreat, how the protests changed the perception of NC State as a "cow college," her efforts for students to have a say in where student fees went, how the student union became a building name only and less of an actual union, being a married student on campus, her struggle to balance academics with student body president responsibilities, time in Ithaca, NY, and her career in printing and in teaching.
