Betty Carter, University Archivist

On Friday, May 7 2010, the University celebrated Betty Carter's contributions to preserving and promoting the history of the institution. From her first day on February 1, 1974 through April 30, 2010, Betty processed, organized, and promoted the records of the presidents/chancellors from Charles Duncan McIver to Patricia Sullivan. Now, she was not at UNCG for the entire time but she was the archivist for most of that time.

Over a hundred people attended the event and all had an opportunity to say words of appreciation to Betty. Those who shared their comments with all were: Rosann Bazirjian, Bill Finley, Barry Miller, Grace Alexander, Lee Evans, Linda Jones, and Linda Burr. Betty, we all value your contributions and look forward to seeing you!
