  • 4 Western Carolinian/June 16, 1983 News What Will They Do? Housing Transitions Leave Open Positions The Housing Office is in a period of transition. Two Area Coordinators, Bonny Bronson and Lynn Doyle, are leaving, and the search for two new Area Coordinators is underway. Ms. Bronson, who is in charge of Walker Hall, plans to work on a doctorate degree at the University of Georgia. Ms. Bronson discussed the Area Coordinator position Friday, noting that WCU Area Coordinators are responsible for 800 to 1000 students, including nine to 27 Resident Assistant, and the Head Resident of each building in their area. All Area Coordinators must have a Master's Degree in Student Personnel and Counseling. They are responsible for all functions in their area, serve as counselors for the students, assist with disciplimary action and crisis intervention, and help plan programs forthe university community. The Area Coordinators have helped sponsor such programs as the Great American Escape, a campus- wide alcohol awareness program; Cullowhee Capers, a day in which the faculty and staff get together for fun and games; and the Cullowhee Connection, a program in which faculty members work closely with incoming freshmen. They have also been involved with the children's area at Mountain Heritage Day. Area Coordinators who will remain at Western are Bob Crowley, Steve Baxley, and possibly Jeff Martin. Martin is not certain about his plans for next year, but did say "at this point I'm returning." Ms. Doyle has already left for New Hampshire and was unavailable for comment.
