Hutchinson, Peg Oral History

Scope and content:

A 2015 inductee into the William & Mary Athletic Hall of Fame, Peg Hutchinson (née Lawlor) hails from the Philadelphia suburbs and graduated with the Class of 1975. A renowned athlete, Hutchinson was a 4-time national finalist for the swim team, serving as captain. As captain, she was a member of the group determining how to implement Title IX after its enactment. A pioneer in her family, her daughter and two younger sisters followed her footsteps and are also alumni. Graduating with a degree in elementary education, Hutchinson chose law school and spent her life as an Assistant U.S. Attorney. Her dedication to the law earned her the first ever Lifetime Exceptional Service Award from the Executive Office of the U.S. Attorneys. Her interview weighs in on the campus environment along with what convinced her to leap from education to law.
