In her two 2002 interviews with Barry Teicher, Marion Brown explains the path that led her to the University of Wisconsin-Madison and eventually into a central role in the Chancellors Scholarship Program. She details the development of the program, largely at the prompting of Mercile Lee, and in the process discusses a number of major figures in UW campus life.

She emphasizes the need to continue the energy of founder Mercile Lee, and explains some of the successes and challenges of the programs last decade.
