  • WESTERN CAROLINIAN November 22nd, 2011 FEATURES WCU alum Sossamon a local business owner and commissioner. Asia Buss, Contributing Writer Since graduating from Western Carolina University in 1969 with a bachelors degree in chemistry, Lynda Sossamon has become a business owner and has won two local political positions. In the past, Sossamon worked for WCU for 11 years in the Computer Cen- ter as an Operations Man- ager and a Programmer/An- alyst. Currently, Sossamon owns two retail stores that sell electronics from Radio Shack and phones from Ve- rizon Wireless. The stores are located in Sylva and Ca- , shiers. T also serve on. several Volunteer Boards and as of Dec.-1, I will be a Commis- sioner on the Sylva Town Board,? Sossamon said, add- ing that she enjoys her cur- rent job because she gets to interact with customers and constantly learn about new electronics. Western Carolina Univer- sity helped prepare Sossa- mon for her experience with the real world by teaching her to become independent. Western Carolina University WCU News Services Students in Western . Carolina Universitys Crimi- nal Justice Club collected 1,167 pairs of shoes during the month of October for Nashville-based charity So- les4Souls, which distributes donated shoes to people in need in the United States and My family had va- cationed here since I was young, but now I was in North Carolina all alone, Sossamon said. I had teach- ers that nurtured me and | learned to be my own per- son. As for. academic prepa- ration, Sossamon said she has. used her knowledge in chemistry, math and com- puter science to solve prob- lems in her business. Looking back on her time spent at WCU, Sossamon misses the time she had to herself: Tt is a time when you are preparing yourself educa- tionally for your future, but you are also building rela- tionships and doing things just for yourself, Sossamon said. After graduating from WCU, Sossamon. has fre- quently returned for meet- ings. T love the many physi- cal changes to the campus, Sossamon said. I like the new personnel changes and I especially think Chancellor David Belcher and his wife Susan are a great asset to the abroad. Shoes of all types ath- letic, running, dress, sandals, heels, work boots, cleats, flip-flops and others were accepted as part of the ini- tiative, which was associ- ated with the WCU Poverty Project. As part of the proj- ect, students, faculty and staff from across campus Offer only valid at this location: 284 E. Main St. Sylva 828.631 OU are a corporate University. Recently, Sossamon was elected to run as a Commis- sioner on the Sylva Town Board. - T had previously served on the Town Board during the time when Sylva was designated as-a North Caro- lina Main Street Town and the current Streetscape was designed, Sossamon said. She believes she has helpful traits to bring to the board and the people of Syl- va. This time around, Sos- samon hopes to hire a new Town Manager and make necessary changes with the Downtown Association. Another goal this term is to get to know the students of WCU better. T would like to talk with the students and see what would make Sylva more at- tractive to. them and make them want to spend time in Sylvas restaurants and shops, Sossamon said: For students hoping to do something similar to Sossa- mon, she says, Just try to be successful and make some- thing of yourself; but dont forget to look at ways to help community members donate nearly 1,200 pairs of shoes: are taking part in engaged teaching, learning, service, and creative and scholarly opportunities focused on poverty, locally and globally, throughout the 2011-12 aca- demic year.
