WCnewsmagazine Millennial Initiative affects departments on campus By Carla Batchelor * WCnewsmagazine A defining moment at WCU occurred on Feb. 28, when the Millennial Initiative was officially announced by Chancellor John W. Bardo. Western has officially purchased 64 acres, known as the Killian property, as well as 280 acres called the Hooper tract; combined, these lands will make up the Millennial Initiative. The land allocated for this project will contain many facilities that will help make WCU, as well as the surround areas, a better place. A Center of Entrepreneurial Development is proposed to help the College of Business work together with business firms for real life experience. This proposed center is still in the development stages, so it is not sure if the entire College of Business will be re-locating to the new Millennial Campus or not. However, it is sure that through the Center of Entrepreneurial Development, students, faculty and staff will have the opportunity to work hand-in-hand with companies, as they move through the development cycles in entrepreneurial and/or business sectors. This hand-in-hand experience will provide students with a working laboratory for involvement with new business initiatives for the firms participating in Center of Entrepreneurial Development. At this time there is no definite word on what firms are coming to the area; only time will tell how many large and influential companies come to assist WCU students further their education. As many students on campus know, the College of Education and Allied Professions is an important staple on campus. With the new Millennial Initiative, the College of Business is anticipating receiving funding for a brand new educational building. This funding has yet to be approved by the State Legislature, and the university is thinking of another possible location that is not located on the Millennial Campus. The proposal of a new building, no matter where it may be located, raises some implications on the public school systems that WCU education students work so closely with. The newly proposed building will allow the college to establish different classroom settings for all the programs they offer, including a model Birth to Kindergarten setting, as well as a K-3 setting, 4-6 setting, 6-9 setting and 9-12 setting. There will be classrooms dedicated to science education, like a possible NASA classroom. Close by to these proposed classrooms will be a special clinic-like setting for special needs educators, as well as school psychologists and counselors and a clinic for the training of speech language pathologists. The College of Education and Allied Professions plans on using their facility to work with local school partners on many issues that educators face today. The facility will allow Western faculty and staff members, as well as school partners, to provide a quality education within our schools across the state and the country. The main goal of this proposed new building is to provide a quality education to all who desire to enter the teaching profession. According to Dr. Michael Dougherty, The College of Education will also use the facility to work with our school partners on many issues that face education today such as support for beginning teachers so that they will persist and be successful in the profession. Overall the new Millennial Initiative will allow WCU as well as its school partners to take education to the next level. The Health and Gerontological Sciences Building is also a new addition being proposed in the Millennial Initiative. This new building will allow the College of Applied Sciences to expand a number of different programs within the health sciences field. These programs include Nursing and Physical Therapy. According to the Department Head of Health Sciences, Dr. Christine Stevens, There has been a suggestion for a Forensic Science building to be located on the Millennial Campus, but no money has been appropriated yet, so it is still in the very early planning stages. There has also been mention of other proposed facilities for the Millennial Campus that include a Center for Broadband Development, Center for Development of Adaptive Devices, Center for @ Main Campus Entrance NCCAT @ Jackson County Airport Environmental Science and new student housing. There are also many possible private sector partners that have been proposed, including a wireless technology applied research and development company in collaboration with the College of Applied Science, Environmentally friendly research, a development and production company in collaboration with College of Arts and Sciences, a multi-tenant Center for Applied Research and Development which involves engineering, computer engineering, chemistry, and the College of Business. Lastly, there has been a proposal for a secure data storage facility for major national entities. Overall, the Millennial Initiative is still largely in the early planning stages for what exactly is going to be included on this 344 acre expansion. No matter what companies come to Cullowhee and what colleges move to this new addition, it is going to change the dynamic of WCU forever. Only time will tell how successful this project is going to be. Laurel Ridge Apartments Cullowhee Fire Department @ Huddle House Photo by WCU OPI |
