Early in her tenure as president of Mount Holyoke College, Joanne
V. Creighton faced crises as students staged protests and occupied
academic buildings; the alumnae association threatened a revolt;
and a distinguished professor became the subject of a major
scandal. Yet Creighton weathered each storm, serving for nearly
fifteen years in office and shepherding the college through a
notable revitalization. In her autobiography, The Educational
Odyssey of a Woman College President, Creighton situates her tenure
at Mount Holyoke within a life and career that have traversed
breathtaking changes in higher education and social life. Having
held multiple roles in academia spanning undergraduate, professor,
and president, Creighton served at small colleges and large public
universities and experienced the dramatic changes facing women
across the academy. From her girlhood in Wisconsin to the
presidency of a storied women's college, she bears witness to the
forces that have reshaped higher education for women and continues
to advocate for the liberal arts and sciences.
