Interpretation: Interviewing Mrs. Linda Carter was very intriguing and productive. From the way she handled herself to the way she answered my questions, I could tell her years of experience were speaking for themselves in that moment. Mrs. Carter’s mannerism was very professional even when speaking to a student and I really enjoyed her welcoming persona. As the director of leadership and giving, she works hard to maintain Meredith College’s network with alumni. The following are topics that she felt very strongly about during our interview:
Developing relationships- One of her objectives here at Meredith College is to create and develop relations with potential sponsors. Relationships with alumni and/or corporations are crucial for the growth of the college. Her focus is mainly sponsors that can give $25 grand or higher because those are the ones that the college will most likely want to build long-lasting trust and an overall positive relationship with. Small talk seemed to be a big factor in this category because those made the sponsors feel enthusiastic and more open towards close-ended …show more content…

Developing that institutional relationship with the community is crucial. The most striking comment she made was: that during an important and delicate situation, we need to be responsive and not reactive. This led me to ask more and find out about her experience at her former institution (UMLS) when the Ferguson incident happened. Her team had to deal with this incident with care, as they had to manage their own brand, maintain equilibrium with the community and develop relationships with the important people coming to the campus at the time. Collaboration was their goal in the incident and they were doing their best to provide the community with the information they

    The Susan Lee Johnson article, “Bulls, Bears, and Dancing Boys: Race, Gender, and Leisure in California Gold Rush,” illustrated how Anglo-men in the mining towns coped without Anglo-women present. The pattern of behavior from men in the Californian Gold Rush is reminiscent of the female gender roles assumed by men in the early establishment of Jamestown, Virginia. Although, factors such as; inadequacy, spare time, and clashing cultural concepts about the womanhood and race in California created more exaggerated distortions to the behavior of Anglo men.

  • Condoleezza Rice

    3363 Words  | 7 Pages

    At this point in time the name and image of Condoleezza Rice is commonplace among the majority of informed Americans. As the first female to serve as the National Security Advisor to the President of the United States, Dr. Rice was propelled even further into the spotlight following the attacks on America on September 11th 2001. I too, like most Americans, saw a lot more of Condi, as she is known by her many friends and colleagues, after September 11. Clearly she was intelligent and always remained calm and poised in the face of adversity and standing before the cameras. I also noticed and appreciated her articulation and was even moved by what seemed like her stoic yet compassionate presentation. It was not until I read Dr. Rice’s biography, Condi, by Antonia Felix, however that she gained my utmost respect. By the 21st century a black successful black female is not as uncommon as it was fifty years ago. Black women had fought their way to the top in many arenas, including political such as the U.S. Senate. What is truly amazing about Condi’s story is speed and finesse with which she ascended to the top of everything she took on. An endearing friendship and mutual loyalty with both of the George Bushes surely did not hurt her. Condi’s      success was hardly limited to the world of politics. She approached music, fitness, academics, sports, religion, and family with the same decisiveness, consistency, and determination that she brought to the public sector. Condi is also no stranger to controversy. Now more than ever she faces a host of critics, especially regarding her supposed knowledge of possible terrorist threats before they came to pass on September 11. Her Republican politics made her less than popular among African Americans although she maintains a more liberal perspective on social issues and remains pro-choice. In spite of her ups and downs it is ultimately her unfaltering character to which she can attribute her success as well as her status as what many call the most powerful woman in politics.
