Pioneers recall issues when Providence College went coed.
We've heard of challenges in the transition to admit men to women's colleges. What about the reverse?
Dr. Sally Thibodeau, associate professor of education at Providence College RI, and a group of colleagues were pioneers as students, faculty or administrators in the school's first coeducational class in 1971.

Thibodeau's research focuses on the development process of schools as they transformed from single sex to coed. With colleagues at Providence College, she presented preliminary data at the National Association of Women in Catholic Higher Education (NAWCHE) conference in Providence RI in June.
Making the transition
During the 1960s, most students wanted to attend co-educational schools, which the all-male Providence College saw as a trend threatening its survival.
Alumni viewed going coed as problematic, a distraction and complication to the lives of the male students. "Alumni felt it would create a playground atmosphere and was morally dangerous," said Thibodeau.
