 Whitacre, Honor Oral histories (literary works) Accession Number UA.2019.0032 0.025 Cubic feet 2016 August 19 In an interview Honor Whitacre describes her roles at Ohio State as a student and instructor in the Division of Dental Hygiene, and as Director of the Division. She first discusses why she picked the field of dental hygiene, then she describes the insular environment of what was then all white women in the Division, and how that expanded during the 1970s and 1980s when men began to train as hygienists and African-Americans were hired to teach. Another development she discusses is the creation of a four-year degree for Dental Hygiene, and a closer collaboration between Dental Hygiene and Dentistry.
