The Western Carolinian NEWS February 22, 2013 A3 WCU begins search for chief of staff WCU News Service A seven-member com- mittee has begun the process of searching for a successor to Dianne Lynch, Western Carolina Universitys chief of staff who will be stepping down from the position at the end of May. Sam Miller, vice chan- cellor for student affairs, is serving as chair of the search committee, which has been tasked by Chancellor David O. Belcher with providing three unranked finalists for his consideration. The new chief of staff will be coming on board as the university begins the first phase of a pro- cess of institutional re- structuring. In addition to serving as the princi- pal aide to the chancellor on important university operational matters and leading the universitys government relations ac- tivities, the chief of staff will oversee WCUs com- munications and public relations functions and a new marketing unit that is being formed from sev- eral existing offices. Reporting directly to the chancellor, the chief of staff is a member of the universitys senior leadership team, is a member of the Executive Council and provides Mission, WCU News Service Mission Health and Western Carolina Uni- versity are partnering to offer a new graduate certificate program in health care innova- tion management to employees of the Ashe- ville-based health care provider. Funded by Mission Health and offered on its campus in Ashe- ville, the program will consist of four courses that employees will take over a span of 21 months. Enrollment will be open twice a year, with the first stu- coordination for the achievement of strategic directions, goals and initiatives for the Chan- cellors Division. Lynch announced in December her plans to retire in the spring after a 37-year career with the state of North Carolina, including various leader- ship roles for nearly 20 years with the Jackson County School System. She joined the ad- ministration at WCU in 1995 as director of the universitys Equal Em- ployment Opportunity Programs before be- coming assistant to the chancellor in January 2003. Lynch was pro- moted to the role of chief of staff in July 2005. Diannes contribu- tions have been exem- plary, and she has been an indispensable part of my leadership team. In my own brief tenure at WCU, she has been enormously helpful, providing perspective, insight into institutional history and culture, hon- est guidance, ground- ing during challenging situations, a sense of humor, and a passion for this institution and what it can mean to the future of our region and state, Belcher said in Decem- ber when announcing Lynchs retirement. My 18 months of working with her, of course, represent only a fraction of her service to WCU and the state of North Carolina, and I know that the impact she has had in every phase of her career has resulted in progress and change for the bet- ter, he said. Her lega- cy is extraordinary. Members of the com- mittee searching for Lynchs successor are, in addition to Miller as chair, Larry Arbaugh, associate director of athletics; Connie Haire, Sylva resident and formerly Macon campus vice president of South- western Community College; Bill Studenc, senior director of news services; Terry Welch, assistant to the chancel- lor; Kathy Wong, direc- tor of human resources; and James Zhang, dean of the Kimmel School of Construction Manage- ment and Technology. Detailed information about the chief of staff position at Western Carolina University, including a complete job description, is available online at https://jobs. wcu.edu/ Western Carolina Uni- versity is an affirmative action, equal opportu- nity employer. WCU collaborating on certificate program dents set to begin the program next month, and it will be offered until all interested em- ployees have completed certification. Those who complete the pro- gram will earn credit toward bachelors and masters degrees. The program isa component of Mission Healths budding Center for Innovation, which was established to fos- ter a spirit of advance- ment in health care throughout Western North Carolina. We are pleased to join forces with Western Carolina University in offering this certificate program to our valued team of care providers, said Marc B. Westle, senior vice president of innovation for Mission Health. The program truly creates a model that encourages all members of our team to influence change in the way we provide high- quality, patient-centered health care throughout the region. WCU faculty members developed the program curriculum with input from Mission Health leadership, who will be teaching a number of courses. As an educational force in Western North Carolina, we have a vested interest in contributing our time and resources to provide quality educa- tion and leadership in our community, said Zahed Subhan, direc- tor of WCUs Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation. We look forward to working with Mission Health to achieve our collec- tive goal of enriching the lives of those in the communities we serve. The program will combine entrepreneur- ial and innovation content with health care-specific modules. Courses will focus on the skills of thinking creatively to implement new opportunities of value in the workplace, working effectively within a multidisci- plinary team and lead- ing through a culture of innovation. Our collaboration with WCU is just one of the ways we are building and leading a culture of innovation at Mission Health, Westle said. Mission Healths Center for Innovation en- courages stakeholders to become thought leaders to change our mindset and our culture so that we all play an active role in fueling innovation and growth. Mission Health is the states sixth- largest health system and includes Mission Hospital in Asheville, Angel Medical Center in Franklin, Blue Ridge Regional Hospital in Spruce Pine, McDowell Hospital in Marion and Transylvania Regional Hospital in Brevard. It also consists of numer- ous outpatient and surgery centers and the regions only dedicated Level II trauma center. Endowment Funds receives land for Mill. Initiative Brandy Carl Staff Writer Western Carolina. | University will take its next step in the Mil- lennial Initiative, an economic initiative to bring business in from the private sector. The Board of Trust- ees is moving to lease the Millennial Campus property to the Univer- * sitys Endowment Fund. The Endowment Fund - was created when WCU ~ became a part of the - UNC system, said WCU - General Counsel Mary - Ann Lochner. If the plan is ap- proved, the state will . lease the Millennial -Campus to the Endow- - ment Fund for 99 years. - During this time, private . developers may build at a faster rate than if they were to approach the university without the lease. During the 99 years, the Endowment Fund would own the property and buildings. After the lease expires, ownership would return to the University. Balsam Residence Hall, Blue Ridge Resi- dence Hall, Norton Road Online CONTINUED FROM PAGE Al According to Gilman, utilization of Smart- hinking.com by WCU students increased 76 percent last year. Plans for improving distance education in the future are in the works, as well. We are developing virtual open houses and a virtual orientation program for our dis- tance program students. Many of the distance learning programs have specific program orientations and vir- tual student centers on Blackboard which clearly impact student achievement, satisfac- tion, communication, retention and gradua- tion, said Gilman. Residence Hall and The Village were built under a similar plan. Private contractors built the resi- dence halls on University property. Though the con- : tractors own the build- ings, WCU is responsible for their upkeep. After thirty years, ownership returns to WCU. According to Loch- ner, the Endowment Fund is an entity that can hold assets and property for WCU sepa- rate from state property. The Endowment Fund generates money through investments so it lasts, said Chancel- lor David Belcher. The Board of Trustees man- ages the Fund. As current North Carolina law stands, private developers wishing to build on uni- versity property must first gain approvals through multiple levels of the state. According to Belcher, the process can take multiple years. Developers do not need to go through the same process should they chose to build on land leased by the Endow- ment Fund. WCU can be more rograms Gilman said ... the key to the success of WCUs distance learning is program administra- tion and faculty-lead courses which engage learners throughout the courses and degree, as well as a strong academ- ic and student support commitment to assisting individuals achieve their educational and profes- sional goals. According to Gil- man, Tony Miller, associate director of distance learning, and Amy Fahey, distance learning student sup- port specialist, are remarkable in their responsiveness both to the needs of potential and current students, responsive to economic development opportuni- ties, said Lochner... _.. North Carolina State Universitys Centennial Campus currently serves as the basis from which the Millennial Initiative is designed. Plans for buildings included in the Millen- nial Initiative include a medical office. Profes- sionals and professors alike would be able to team up for research projects. Students would be able to intern and gain hands-on experience in a medical setting. The office would also be open to the public. This is a huge op- portunity for students to translate what theyre learning in the class- rooms to the environ- ment of the real world, said Belcher. The ground lease must be approved by a series of governing bodies, start- ing with the UNC Board of Governors and end- ing with The Council of State. Because the plan has not been approved yet, itis hard to say when the next changes will come to play. Hopefully [the lease as well as support to the distance programs and coordinators. Also, the partner- ships with the academic colleges and programs, undergraduate admis- sions, graduate school and research, the Coul- ter Faculty Commons, the registrar, bursar, financial aid, military student services, ca- reer services, student affairs, etc. increase communication and understanding of the needs of returning adult students, said Gilman.
