Woodward and Kionlo

In any department at a col
lege dr university, every mem
ber is vital to the success of the
entire group. It cannot function
■with employees
missing. The
Campus Life
staff had two
spots to fill.
Recently, the
Campus Life
department
appointed two
new Associate
Deans for
Campus Life:
Alyson Kienie
on Jul. 19, and
Bill Woodward on Aug. 29.
Both individuals have a wide
range of educational and pro
fessional credentials.
Kienie graduated from
Bucknell University in 1999
with a bachelor's degree in
Biology and received a mas
ter's degree in Education with
a concentration in college
administration and counseling
in 2001. In May, she completed
her Ph. D. at the University of
Virginia.
Her professional highlights
include jobs as residence man
ager at Bucknell and a summer
at Johns Hopkins University as
the Dean of Residential Life. At
Guilford, she will command the
Office of Residence Life and
Judicial Affairs. She will be
working closely with RAs and
provide them with intensive
training.
"Alyson's training in judicial
affairs and background with
residence life made her the top
candidate from the start of our
search process, and we're
happy she decided to come to
Guil-ford," said Aaron Fetrow,
Dean of
Campus Life,
in a press
release.
"We're excited
to have her on
board."
While
Kienie is look
ing forward to
her new job,
she under
stands that
there are chal
lenges that comewith it.
"When I make a decision, I
always stop and think about
the needs and wants of the
constituents. And when I say
constituents, I
mean the stu
dents," Kienie
said. "They
want to be
happy, and I
want to be
happy too."
The other
new member
of campus
life. Bill
Woodward,
will play a different role. While
Kienie will be more involved
with judicial affairs. Woodward
will be directly involved with
the student activities on cam
pus.
Woodward is a 1992 gradu
■ "
• .'r
ate of the University at Albany,
State University of New York
with a bachelor's degree in
Geography. He went on to
obtain a master's in college
student personnel administra
tion from Indiana University in
1994. He previously held a job
at Washington University in St.
Louis where he spent the last
seven years as Director of
New Student Orientation.
"I wanted the opportunity to
move up in my career and out
of all my options, I felt that
Guilford would be the best
place to help me accomplish
that goal," Woodward said.
"Plus, I was sold on the beauti
ful campus and the wonderful
Campus Life staff."
Kienie and Woodward join
Guilford as Associate Deans
for Campus Life in place of
Fetrow, who was promoted to
Dean for Campus Life on May
6. Fetrow, in
turn, took Anne
Lundquist's
place when she
took another
dean position at
Green Mountain
College in
Poultney, V.T.
Considering
the resignations
of Leslie Moss
and Shelly Crisp
in January and December of
last year, respectively. Campus
Life has been going through
major changes. But Kienie and
Woodward's experience
should bode well for the
college.
RAD. Classes empower women
Continued from page 1
fied to train women in the pro
gram and began teaching free
classes to Guilford affiliates on
campus by the spring semes
ter.
"One thing I don't want is for
someone to be involved in a
bad situation and they do not
have the viable option of self
defense," Bradshaw said. "It's
better to know how to defend
yourself and have the informa
tion just in case."
R.A.D. helps empower
women to protect themselves.
The program advocates
removing the aforementioned
opportunity that allows for the
assault to occur triangularly.
The foundation of the trian
gle is the opportunity the victim
gives the assaulter. The two
parties involved are the sides
and the point is the actual
assault. If one does not pro
vide that foundation there can
be no triangle - no connection,
no assault.
. According to the R.A.D.
Systems' policies, they "offer a
basic education of confronta
tion principles and personal
defense. This includes aware
ness, risk reduction and avoid
ance, basic physical defense,
aerosol defense options and
advanced self-defense meth
ods."
This adds up to about 12
hours of simultaneous practice
and learning before complet
ing the program with a lifetime
practice policy. The students
learn various self-defense
moves like blocks, sweep
kicks, heel stomps, finger rolls,
and knee strikes.
Students 'are also trained in
how to make a strategic plan of
action, vulnerable spots to
strike, what can be used as a
self-defense weapon, and
many more things associated
with protecting oneself.
Having R.A.D. taught on
campus has proven to be
effective, particularly for one
student, Cate Cummings,
who took the class last semes
ter:
"Over the summer, a man
tried to grab me. I couldn't
even tell you what self defense
R.A.D. moves I used, but I
know I used them; it was kind
of like my instinct, and it
helped me get away."
Cummings admitted think
ing before that: "I thought the
stuff I learned in the first class
probably wouldn't be useful for
me in real life."
After Cummings' experi
ence, R.A.D. became blatantly
useful. "The sense of empow
erment the course provides is
great. It's good for women to
feel that they know what to do
in a situation like that."
However, few students have
attended the classes this year.
The classes for the rest of
September are every Monday,
Wednesday, and Friday.
People can go to a single class
or take the whole program.
