  • The Voice of the Catamounts Volume 60 Issue 7 WCU Mourns Loss Of Dr. Dennis McKevlin Jessica Laverty Staff Reporter Dennis McKevlin The pleasant environment of the English Department was rudely interrupted this past week with the unexpected death of one of Western's most admired professors, Dr. Dennis McKevlin. Dr. McKevlin, who suffered a massive heart attack, died Thursdsay, at 3:30 am. The passing of Dr. McKevlin came suddenly, sending shock waves throughout the university. Dr. Nicholas, an English professor and friend of Dr. McKevlin's, compared the atmosphere in the department following the loss to that of when President John F. Kennedy was assasinated. The atmosphere, Dr. Nicholas explained, was, "so gloomy, so morose" with, "overwhelming gloom among the staff, students, and faculty." Dr. Horton, another member of the English faculty, commented, "(Dr. McKevlin) was more than academic." He was a, "multi-level person" and, "always a gentleman." "Dr. McKevlin was always laughing and joking with everyone, but never inconsiderate of someone's feelings." remembered Dr. Horton. Dr. McKevlin was such an exceptional individual that he will not be remembered solely for the impact he made on his students, but also for the positive influence he made on the English Depart ment as a whole. He was very respected throughout the department, as well as the WCU community. Dr. Elizabeth Addison, also a professor in the English Department, commmented that, "Dr. McKevlin always volunteered to grade freshmen papers, even if he wasn't teaching freshman English, which is rare." The Western Carolina community suffered an immeasureable loss with the death of Dr. McKevlin. The realization of this loss is displayed most obviously by the memorium set up outside Dr. McKevlin's door. For those of you who never had the honor of being in one of Dr. McKevlin's classes, I advise you, as Dr. Addison advised me, "go look at his door." The staff of The Western Carolinian would like to express their sympathy to the family and friends of Dr. Dennis McKevlin.

Only 300 of the 1,159 applicants were chosen to share the $22 million provided by the IMS. The center will use the grant to expand its outreach programs to Western North Carolina's public schools. Currently, these programs include providing guided tours of its exhibitions; supplementing curriculum materials for fourth and eighth-grade courses in NC History; and presenting traditional musicians, craftspeople and storytellers throughout area classrooms. Also, displays portraying the impact of the Cherokee Indians and African-Americans to the Western North Carolina region will be added to the current exhibition featuring the Scotch-Irish. The Mountain Heritage Center, created in 1975 to collect, interpret and promote knowledge of the cultural heritage of Southern Appalachia and Western North Carolina, is located on the ground floor of the Administration Building.
