Title A name given to the resource (repository, collection, or item). Dorothy Morris Oral History Description An account of the resource Dorothy Morris began her career in the engineering field as an administrative assistant in 1950 after graduating with a degree in business and accounting from Concordia Junior College. Concurrent with her early work life, Morris returned to college to study engineering and in just eight years she became Vice President and General Manager of Colvin Laboratories, Inc., an aerospace industry electronics manufacturer. At that time, she represented only a handful of women engineering management executives in the country, and she remains today an excellent example of the upward mobility of women in engineering. In addition to her tenure at Colvin Labs, Morris was General Manager, Treasurer, and Vice President of Victory Engineering Corporation and went on to establish her own consulting firm, Morris Associates, acting as its president. In the 1970s she was a member and SWE representative to the Engineering Manpower Commission, where she worked to advance engineering as a profession for women, becoming the commission's first women president. A longtime member of SWE, Morris has served in many local and national offices and is today a member of the Board of Trustees. Oral History Item Metadata Specific to Oral History Items.
