These new resident advisors will be ex pected to be able to be able to assist their resi dents in any way possible.

NCATE accreditation awarded to GWU continued from page 1 vancement in the education program, the school will go through the same process again in the fall of 1999. Another major announcement was the formation of the Gardner-Webb School of Education. Ranking as highly as the Broyhill School of Management and the School of Di vinity, the new School of Education will in clude programs for education, psychology, and health and physical education. Webber ex plained that the school would be umbrella for those three subjects. These three subjects were chosen because most of the students in the health department choose education as their discipline, and education is a required minor for all students wishing to obtain teacher cer tification. Psychology was integrated because it is also a major study in education students. Along with these two announcements came the installation of Dr. Dee Hunt as the new Dean of the School of Education. Ac cording to Webber, Dr. Hunt’s main role will be to lend direction to education students. She will also provide proper counseling and make sure that students follow the right curriculum. Eventually, the program hopes to include job placement as well. Dr. Hunt is not so much worried about her role as dean, as about how the changes will affect the school and the stu dents. In reference to the status of an NCATE approved program. Dr. Hunt commented, ‘The accreditation was evidence of how the entire university was involved and how we pulled together to make a positive thing for Gardner-Webb. The university has made a statement that teacher’s education programs matter.” Dr. Hunt’s role as dean will go into effect on July 1, when she says, “I will be lay ing the groundwork and getting feedback.” During the press conference she, as well as Dr. Ben Carson, were recognized for their hard work in the whole process of accredita tion and the formation of the new school. Dr. Hunt also acknowledged Dr. Darlene Gravett and Dr. Pat Partin for their role in the process. Dr. Hunt offered other comments on the ap proval of NCATE saying, “Not only did we pass, but we passed with flying colors.” She closed her comments by recognizing Dr. Jeff Tubbs as her replacement as Chair of the Health and. Physical Education Department. ***Congratulations*** Dee Hunt & Jeff Tubbs DAKA holds meeting with students by Julianne Kuykendall staff writer On Hiesday, March 28, three representatives from the DAKA regional team held an informal meeting with students in order to discuss plans for the incoming semester concerning their new part nership with the GWU food service.
