  • February 25th, 2011] WESTERN CAROLINIAN Page 2: NEWS From Staff Reports The 16-member search committee tasked with help- ing select Western Carolina Universitys next chancellor met Tuesday, Feb. 15, to dis- cuss the top candidates for the job and determine who will be invited to participate in off- campus interviews. The committee, working with the Baker and Associates _ executive recruitment firm and with Ann Lemmon, asso- ciate vice president for human resources for the University of North Carolina system, met at the offices of Advantage West in Asheville to evaluate the candidate pool. The committee will invite its top candidates to a series of airport interviews sched- uled for March 4-6 in Atlanta. During those interviews, committee members will ask questions that incorporate themes and concerns raised. at Novembers public forums, which were held to enable WCUs constituent groups faculty, staff, students, alumni, community members and fans of intercollegiate athletics to have a voice in the search process. The questions will Pictured i is the chancellor search committee at a a forum held i in November. They a are 2 going to incorporate themes and cover topics including leader- ship, management, financial management, strategic vision, student learning and research, external relations and fund- raising, and faculty and staff issues. The interviews will ae be concerns from the forum into the questions they will ask the narrowed eco a chancellor applicants, place during closed session, in accordance with the states open meetings laws, which permit public bodies to go into closed session to consider the qualifications of prospective public officers or employees. The committee is hoping Volunteers needed to help with WCUs Rivercane Restoration Proj ect | From Staff a Volunteers are being sought to help relocate: river- cane from the Western Caro- lina University area to a site near Cherokee as part of the universitys Rivercane Resto-_ ration Project. The work to ahspIAe the rivercane will take place in March and April as volunteers pitch in to move the plants from locations near WCU to a patch of ground at the new Cherokee Central School, said Adam Griffith, a staff member in. WCUs Program for the Study of Developed Shorelines. Rivercane once was plenti- ful on floodplains and along stream banks in Western North Carolina, but the spe- cies has been heavily impact- ed by development, prompt- ing a collaboration between WCU and the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians to restore Hunter Christy Martin, Contributing Writer Mark A. Stoffan has joined Hunter Library as head of digital, access, and technol- ogy services, and Peter John- son is the new head of access services. Stoffan comes to WCU from The Florida State Uni- versity in Tallahassee, where he was associate director for library technology at Stro- zier Library for the past three years. Prior to that he was director of technical services and technology at the Uni- versity of Arkansas at Little Rock. He also held faculty and technical support posi- tions at the libraries of Ap- palachian State University and the University of North Carolina at Asheville, and was an assistant librarian at Ban- gor Theological Seminary in Maine. From 2003 until 2007 he served as the network li- brarian for the Western North Carolina Library Network, the collaboration among the UNC-Asheville, Appalachian State University and WCU libraries to share books and other materials through the delivery system known as the native bamboo, Grifith said. Rivercane is a mainstay of Cherokee culture, and tradi- tionally has been used in mak- ing baskets, blowguns and mats. Not much rivercane still grows in Cherokee, so WCU students and faculty members started working, with Chero- kee tribal members last fall to move plants ftom the Cullo- whee Valley to the site near _ the Cherokee school. Over the course of four days in October, volunteers dug up rivercane behind the baseball stadium on campus, wrapped the roots in plastic, loaded them onto a truck and replanted them in Cherokee, Griffith said. The dense net- work of tough underground stems and roots made the dig- ging difficult, but the result was the planting of more than: 50 feet of underground stems and 30 above-ground stems. A much larger river- cane transplantation effort is _ planned for March and April. The long-term goal of the project is to establish a patch of rivercane on Cherokee tribal land that can be used for educational purposes and even harvesting by Cherokee artisans, Griffith said. The transplanting work is sched- uled for March 11 and 19, and, April 1, 2, 8 and 9. WCUs Program for the. Study of Developed Shore- lies and Griffith have been spearheading the Rivercane Restoration Project for six years. Individuals volunteering to help with the project can find out more at rivercane.weu.edu. or by e- mailing Griffith at agriffith@ weu.edu. Area landowners who have rivercane on their properties that. they would like to donate also are asked to contact Griffith. Johnson ! ABC Express.
