description

Paul D. Escott, a Reynolds Professor of History at Wake Forest University since 1990, received a bachelor's degree from Harvard College, and a master's and Ph.D. from Duke University. He served nine years as Dean of Wake Forest University, and helped develop and implement Wake Forest's Undergraduate Plan, also called the Plan for the Class of 2000. In this interview, Escott talks about the controversy of a gay union ceremony in Wait Chapel and President Tom Hearn's compassion, fairness, and concern towards them. He talks about working with President Hearn, Dave Brown, Ed Wilson, Jim Johnson, and the change of positions and promotions. Escott talks about the challenge of being an administrator, being an introvert, increasing female chairs, time as a Dean dealing with difficult parents, unhappy students, depression, and teaching students to be an adult and have professional standards.
