The search is on. The University is looking for a replacement for former Newcomb Hall Director Eddie Daniels, who resigned at the end of last semester.
"The search committee is 99 percent underway," said Dean of Students Penny Rue, who is selecting the committee.
This year, the director's position will entail several more responsibilities than in years past.
Previously, the director of Newcomb Hall had the task of managing the staff, running the operations and programming office and overseeing student organizations in Newcomb Hall, as well as regulating meetings held in the building by other student organizations.
Rue emphasized she wanted to increase the focus on student organizations not only in Newcomb Hall, but outside as well.
"With a new job, there are always more responsibilities, never less," Rue joked.
The search committee for the new director will consist of faculty and students, rounding out a group of 14 members.
Rue picked the committee members by searching on Grounds to make sure all groups were well represented.
The "key constituents" consist of members from Dining Services, the police department, the budget office, student employees, student leaders, Student Council and other groups.
Committee members include Associate Director of Athletics Mark Fletcher, Neil Bynum, director of the Luther P.
