Transcript (34 pages) of interview by Anne Peterson with Hugo Rossi on July 22, 2011 |
| Abstract |
Rossi was born in Boston, but his parents moved the family to the Bronx when he was three months old. He explains that his parents moved because of the free public universities available in New York and their knowledge that they would not be able to afford private universities for him and his brother. He credits his brother with convincing him to stick with mathematics over English when he attended the College of the City of New York. He discusses his support, as part of the Brandeis faculty, of the student telephone networks during 1960s activism against the war in Vietnam. The work of a close friend and his fondness for the West led him to come to the University of Utah in1974. He goes on to discuss the creation of the ACESS Program to train and retain women in the sciences and how it has fared. He and his wife attempted to become ""Californians"" after his retirement from the faculty in 2003 but decided to return to Utah two years later. University History Project.
