<mods:abstract>The daughter of Alice O'Connor Chmielewski '28, Ann begins her own interview by
relating childhood memories of accompanying her mother to Pembroke College reunions. She then
describes her social and academic life as as a student herself, a "city girl" who later lived
on campus. Among the specific experiences she recalls: spending time at West House and the
Gate as a commuter student; inviting her future husband, Jack Anderson '58, to the Pembroke
Christmas Dance; her somewhat reluctant participation in the 1958 Miss Cranston Pageant; and
developing an academic interest in Psychology. Ann also describes her life after college,
including her decision to pursue social work; serving as an administrator at Strong Memorial
Hospital in Rochester, NY; her decision earn a Ph.D. while raising two children; and her
private psychotherapy practice. Finally, she discusses how she has stayed connected to the
University as an alumna and how academics at Brown had changed by the time her son, Brian
Anderson '90, entered as a student.</mods:abstract>
