  • aE ee oe ee oe Oe oT Ee, a i, oe, ne By Zach McKeown We all know that Western Cardlina University has a long history, having been founded in 1889, and has continued to operate for well over a century. In addition, the draw of WCU has increased substantially since Cullowhee made the major upgrade to electricity and indoor plumbing early in the new millennium. However, the quality of a university is not only measured by its facilities, but also by the students that represent the fruits of the university's labor. In this, WCU keeps pace with any school across the country. But dont take my word for it! Consider Mr. Paul Johnson, graduating class of 1979, major in physical education. Straight out of college Mr. Johnson found employment at Avery County High School as an assistant football coach. From there, Paul jumped to offensive coordinator assignments at Lees-McRae Junior College, Georgia Southern University, and the University of Hawaii. In 2002, Mr. Johnson moved on and took up the role of head coach for the United States Naval Academy. He led the Navy to victory that, over the course of two years, was the best that the Navy had done in football for nearly a century. Of course, a man with a winning record like Paul could not avoid various awards if he wanted to. Not only was he named Division 1- AA National Coach of the Year an astonishing four times, but shortly after leading the Navy to victory against Air Force and Navy in 2004, he met President Bush himself to receive the Commander-in-Chief's trophy. Sure, we've got sports covered, but what else? How about the story of one Mrs. Western Alaoani: Life After wcu Frances Ow-Smith, class of 1983, major in medical technology? Mrs. Owl-Smith was born a Cherokee Native and entered the freshman class here at Western at 29 years old. During her Junior and Senior years, Frances scored an astonishing 4.0 grade point average and in 1983 graduated summa cum laude, with highest honors. From there, Mrs. Owl-Smith moved on to med school at UNC-Chapel Hill and entered the pathology residency program. At the age of 42, Frances became a pathologist. Today, she can be found at Haywood Regional Medical Center as a pathologist and laboratory medical direction. In 2006 Mrs. Owl-Smith received Westerns Alumni Award for Academic and Professional Achievement. The ceremony took place in front of her family, over 900 graduating students, and a massive crowd at the spring commencement. At the ceremony, she spoke briefly. As a_ practicing pathologist, Im obligated to make accurate diagnoses, and today | have a diagnosis for all of us. We all have a terminal illness called life. So | challenge you to get out there and get a real life a life not just of the mind, but of the soul a life where you do good. In addition to her academic achievements, Mrs. Owl-Smith made history as the first female member of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians to receive a medical degree. Impressive, no? But I can tell you want something a little more recent. Perhaps within the last few years, even. No problem! | could sing praises for Jeanne Jolly Western goes wireless By Zach Phillips * WCnewsmagazine all day, but I'm afraid: it would be woefully inadequate to what this talented alumni could do herself. Jeanne graduated with the class of 2001 as a music major. Ms. Jolly was recruited to Westerns musical program from St. Marys School in Raleigh as a Fletcher Music Scholar. On the topic of Western, Jeanne had very strong feelings. | really just had a wonderful time performing with my classmates, being creative, and buckling down and-really getting inside the music. Western was the perfect place for me. After graduating from Western, Jolly moved on to earn her Masters Degree in music from the New England Conservatory. Shortly after graduation, Jeanne worked with a Los Angeles music production company and did voiceover work for movies, commercials and television. Not long afterwards, Grammy Award winning Chris Botti recognized her talent and invited her to sing with his group. A ten-day bus tour quickly transitioned into an entire tour through Canada. In 2006, Jolly won Westerns Young Alumna Award. From Cullowhee, to Los Angeles, to Carnegie Hall, Jeannes meteoric rise shows no signs of stopping. So there you have it - a triumvirate of talent. Of course, these are only three of the hundreds, if not thousands of successful Western graduates in the world today. And as interesting as their stories are, current students are destined to go just as far. We should all feel privileged to say that our stories begin with WCU.
