Watkins Memorial Health Center administration is under transition after hiring a new chief of staff.
Myra Strother, physician at Watkins for the past nine years, was named new chief of staff Monday. She will supervise doctors and nurses at Watkins and help oversee changes within the business office.
Randall Rock, former chief of staff, has moved to head the healthpromotion department, which promotes public health education and resources to the community.
Strother said she hoped to keep the quality of student care high.
"I also want Watkins to follow the students mandate and stay responsive to students needs," Strother said.
Strother would like to shorten the wait time for students by introducing a nurse triage, a process allowing students to see a nurse who would assess their needs and set up an appointment with a doctor if necessary.
"I want to make sure that students always come first at Watkins." Strother said.
Rock said he set important goals
for the health-promotion department.
"I hope that health promotions can become closer aligned with academics at the University of Kansas in introducing a course for students entitled "Peer Health Advising,"" Rock said. "We hope to

Rock said the health promotion department would be an environment that
would teach and make health care skills available for students.
"We are promoting an opportunity for students to develop healthy life skills which will prevent them from getting sick in educating students how to care for themselves in a cost-effective manner," Rock sai4
Administrative changes take place at Watkins every four years to introduce new ideas and students' needs.

Candidate list to narrow in education dean search
By Andrew Davies writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
The search for a new dean in the School of Education is entering the final stages.
Susan Twombly, professor of teaching and leadership and chairwoman of a school search committee, said she expected to name up to five finalists sometime next week.
After the Equal Opportunity Office reviews and approves the list, the committee will interview each finalist individually.
"We hope to bring five people to campus sometime next week." Twombly said.
The search has been underway since last June when Karen Gallagher resigned to accept a position at the University of Southern California. Jerry Bailey has served as interim dean.
The search committee now is reviewing the 25 applications it received for the position.
Twombly said no applicant had been ruled out.
She said the school would be open-minded when looking at the applications, but favor ed someone well-rounded.
"We need someone who can continue the strong tradition of fundraising developed in the school," Twombly said. "We need a dean that can lead us in making the best use of technology, someone up to date and familiar with trends in teacher education."
Twombly said students would have a voice in the dean selection. She said a student sat on the search committee and the candidates would have open meetings with students.
Jason Wise, Hutchinson junior, listed several desired qualities for the new dean, including someone who excels in leadership, shows fairness to students and maintains high academic standards.
The School of Education wants to have a new dean in office by July 1.
