Centenary Looking for New Dean of Student Life

Centenary President Kenneth Schwab sent out an email today informing campus of Lori Bradshaw's departure from the position of Dean of Student Life. According to Dr. Schwab, Ms. Bradshaw will stay on campus and assist with the transition though mid-June. The search committee appointed to help locate the new Dean will be chaired by Dr. Scott Chirhart, Assistant Professor of Biology.

This search committee will consist of Assistant Professor of Chemistry Dr. Joshua Lawrence, Associate Professor of Business Dr. Kelly Weeks, Cross Country Coach Dr. Shelley Armstrong, Head Women's Soccer Coach Chase Wooten, Director of Human Resources Tracy Maranto-Phillips, Director of Public Safety Zeke Aull, President of Alumni Association Hoyt Bain, and students Anna Maris and Emma Cook.

A Solar Powered Centenary

It's a great 100th Anniversary for Centenary in Shreveport, and that doesn't stop with renewed environmental efforts. For the 2008-9 year, the college should be working with the city of Shreveport and Pratt industries on the city-wide recycling program (stay tuned for more on this). But this spring, the main concern is to get solar panels on top of the library.

The Centenary Environmental Association (CEA), the college's environmental organization, is promoting an event called "Chains for Change." The organization plans to 'chain' President Kenneth Schwab, Head of Residence Life Kevin Wagner, and two professors to a tree on Earth Day (April 22). However, there is a cost: $300 for each person.

Members of the CEA will be hanging out at lunchtime to collect student, faculty, and staff contributions. Individuals can also stop by the offices of the 'tree huggers' to donate in person. There can't be anything better than slipping a $20 bill in Kevin's bucket, right in front of him.

For more information and to get involved (whether student or not) contact Jeanne Hamming at jhamming@centenary.edu.

The event is not limited to just Centenary. Anyone wishing to donate and support getting renewable energy in Highland should contact Jeane Hamming or us at the radio station. We can be reached at 318-869-5296.
