Rosenthal, Marsha, Dr.

Marsha Rosenthal is a member of the Princeton Class of 1976. As an undergraduate, she was instrumental in the founding of the Princeton University Women's Center in 1971.

A medical sociologist by training, Rosenthal is currently a research professor at the Institute for Health, Health Care Policy and Aging Research at Rutgers University.

Marsha Rosenthal Course Materials and Student Activism Materials is a collection documenting the experience of Marsha Rosenthal, Class of 1976, during her time as an undergraduate at Princeton. The collection reflects both her academic interests at the University as well as her organizational involvement. Spanning the years 1968-1982, the collection illustrates campus climate in the 1970's concerning many important issues such as women's rights, the Vietnam War, and race relations. Additionally, researchers interested in educational history will find Rosenthal's notebooks, and other related course materials especially useful.
