Marilyn Craig, Interview with Melissa Newman, 2022

Marilyn Craig was a Business major and graduated from Mundelein in 1984. She was part of the Weekend College, so she describes her experience of being on campus Friday through Sunday. On her weekends at Mundelein, she slept with ten other women in the Northland apartments. It took her 13 years and 8 schools to earn her Bachelor’s degree, so Marilyn is very proud to have been part of Mundelein’s Weekend College, which earned her several promotions at her full-time job. Marilyn characterizes herself at this time in her life as setting herself apart from everyone else—at work and at school—she always had her nose in a book. She regrets not being able to fully participate in all that Mundelein had to offer and not getting to know her fellow Weekend Collegers as well, but she did what she had to do to succeed.
