Students wanted in search for dean
Committee head hopes to have new CLAS dean by July
By Eve Lamborn Kansan staff writer
The search committee for the new dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences needs two student members to complete the group.
Provost David Shulenburger said he was waiting for students to return for the fall semester before choosing one undergraduate CLAS student and one graduate CLAS student for the two committee slots.

Richard Givens, chemistry and provost, is chairman of the committee.
Sally Frost Mason, the former dean, left the University of Kansas on July 1 to become
provost at Purdue University, where she earned her master's degree in 1974.
Givens said he had recently sent letters to faculty within the college asking for dean nominations.
The committee will have its first full meeting in two weeks, with a goal of bringing candidates to the KU campus by Nov. 1, Givens said.
"I think it's important to get
candidates here during the fall semester, before classes end," he said.
Givens said he hoped to complete the process by early spring so the new dean could take office next July.
"Right now we're at the very beginning," he said.

Because the college is KU's largest, Kelly said he would also look for the ability to work well with the associate deans.
Shulenburger appointed the other faculty members of the
biosciences; Carl E. Locke, dean of the School of Engineering; and Charlene Muehlenhard, professor of psychology and women's studies.
The rest of the committee slots include Kathy Porsch, unclassified staff representative from the Hall Center for the Humanities; Cynthia Hodges, classified staff representative from the philosophy department; and Jeannette Johnson, non-voting Provost's representative.

Alum takes multicultural affairs job
Kansan staff writer
Teresa Lynn Clounch made the transition from student and Miller Scholarship Hall director to the position of new associate director for the Office of Multicultural Affairs in July.
"It's a major step up," she said. "I knew this would be a great opportunity."
Clounch is involved with the HAWK Link program, which works to retain new students — primarily minority ones. She also became the new adviser for the Black Student Union for this year and is working toward her Ph.D.
"I thought this would be great," Clounch said. "All my higher education experience was progressional. I felt like all the pieces started to fit together. It's like being at the right place at the right time."
She grew up in Iola where she attended Allen County Community College. She then transferred to Emporia State University.
Clounch earned her bachelor's degree in business administration with a minor in communications. She then returned to Allen County to work at a development office before moving to Nevada, Mo., to work at Cottev College.
Clounch said it was her job as the director of a scholarship hall at Cottey, a two-year women's college, that helped her realize she was in a field she enjoyed.
She returned to Emporia State to work as the director of what is now the Multicultural Center.
"Living in a scholarship hall is like being a college president or chancellor," Clounch said. "It allowed me to improve my delegation skills and trust those who knew what was going on."

She then became the Miller Scholarship Hall director last year because she thought housing would be fun.

intended to return as a hall director before she accepted the OMA position.
Sarah Jackson, Abilene senior and former president of Miller, said Clounch was a responsible house director.
"I remember her getting things done," Jackson said. "She was always asking what needs to be done next. She was visible."
