Oral history conducted for the 100 Years of Coeducation commemoration. Sue Manix arrived at William & Mary in 1975. During her time at William & Mary, she participated in Kappa Kappa Gamma, the Athletic Association, Panhellenic Council, and Omicron Delta Epsilon Economics Honor Society. She also served as an Orientation Aide, a President’s Aide, a Resident Advisor, and was a member of Mortar Board and Phi Beta Kappa. After graduating with a Bachelor of Arts in Economics and Government in 1979, Manix worked in the telecommunications industry, specifically for Bell Pennsylvania, Bell Atlantic, and ultimately Verizon, where she served as Vice President of Public Affairs. She returned to school to receive her Master of Business Administration from the University of Pennsylvania in 1987. Manix currently works as Director of Marketing and Communications for The Shipley School in Bryn Mawr while remaining connected to William & Mary through her role as President of the Alumni Association. In her interview, Manix recounts meeting her would-be husband on her very first trip to visit William & Mary—he was the tour guide for her group. She explains that being involved in so many extracurricular activities as a student “was a great way to keep connected to a wide variety of people on campus and not get into my own little silo…” Manix has maintained the relationships she built while at William & Mary, returning for Homecomings and celebrating birthdays with her college friends. She also continues to serve the school through her role as President of the Alumni Association.
