The Papers of Dorothy F. Lippincott
Biographical Sketch
Dorothy Lippincott received her bachelor's degree from the College of William
and Mary and her master of science in education from Old Dominion University.
She began working at the Norfolk Division of the College of William and Mary
in 1957. One year later, Mrs. Lippincott was appointed full time director
of College Relations and Placement. In that capacity, she established Old
Dominion's first Placement Office and organized its first formal recruitment
programs by businesses, government, and industry. She was also responsible
for developing annual Federal Career Days, business and industrial career
conferences, campus-wide alumni celebrations, the first general information
folder at ODU, departmental brochures, a campus wide calendar of events. Mrs.
Lippincott was also the coordinator of ODU's first appearance and victory
on the G.E. College Bowl television program in 1970.
Eventually, Mrs. Lippincott was named to serve as liaison between ODU and
the news media, In that capacity, she coordinated a half hour program on WTAR
radio. Also, she handled various special events at the University such as
the dedication of new buildings or facilities. At the same time she developed
the ODU Speakers Bureau and worked very closely with organizations such as
Town-N-Gown and the Faculty Wives Club. After a long and distinguished career,
Mrs. Lippincott retired on July 1, 1974.
Scope and Contents
The collection includes: correspondence; the records of Town-N-Gown; a report
on Norfolk Division of William and Mary; activities at Old Dominion University;
information on Quarantine Road, a historical landmark commemorating the first
quarantine house in Virginia and located on the ODU campus; and assorted brochures.
Mrs. Lippincott participated in the growth of ODU as one of its most able
administrators. Among her papers the records of Town-N-Gown represent an interesting
new phase of University history just as a report entitled "The College
of William and Mary in Norfolk" represents an earlier one.
