We believe this interview from the archives dates back to 1997 or 1998. At the time of this interview, Marla Greenspan (now Marla Polley) worked in Carthage's Advising Center. (She left in the early 2000's but is now back at Carthage and teaching there.) Much has changed in the world - and in the world of education - since this interview was recorded, but some of the pressures and challenges remain the same. Because Marla shared such important and intriguing insights, and in her uniquely entertaining way, I decided to replay this interview as another college school year begins.
