Carole Goldberg (‘66) grew up in Windham, Maine, and was most interested in playing softball, basketball and other sports. Fortunately, she had a coach, Marguerite L. “Peg” Ayer (B.S., ‘54; M.Ed. ‘61), who had graduated from the University of Maine and encouraged Goldberg to enroll.

After graduating from UMaine, Goldberg traveled the world, first as a teacher and later as a successful retail manager. She also had a distinguished 25-year career at Yale University. She was founding director of the SHARE (Sexual Harassment and Assault Response and Education) Center at Yale and served as assistant clinical professor of psychiatry at the Yale School of Medicine.
