October 28,1998 Meredith Campus Extras 5 The future of education the hands of four Triangle women VolleybaU team defeats faculty Sports Release Mamie UclOnney Despite concessions made for the them, the faculty could not handle the force of the College volleyball team. The volleyball team defeated the members of the faculty in a scrimmage match last T^iesday. There was the rule that once the volleyball team scores three points, the faculty is able to save. This rule was applied during the scrimmage in addition to the fact the faculty played with seven players instead of the regulated six. The faculty that participated in the scrimmage include Coach Cathy Mayberry, Coach Melinda Campbell, physical education pro fessor Mary-Ellen Clancy, Athletic Director Marie Chamblee, history department head Michael Novak, foreign language department head Brent Pitts, religion professor Roger Badham and child develop ment professor Paul Winterhoff. NOTE: Both the volleyball and soccer teams placed first in their tournaments over the wekend. Andy Park Triangle LHestyte Magazine EDITOR’S NOTE: This is the first of a four part series about four women who have taken the helm at the area's leading institu tions. This article is reprinted with the permission of Triangle Lifestyle Magazine (SeptJOct. issue). This article has been edited for length requirements. Four women leading area campuses are helping to lead the Triangle to the forefront of the new Milennium. These four women stand at the top of their profession and head four of the Triangle’s top universities and colleges. By their leadership and by their example, they are well-placed to affect eternity by their influ ence. In the fields of medicine, science, technology, the arts and politics. Triangle women have pinoeered in their profes sions, shattering the glass ceil ings. The very description ‘Trian gle” came not from three cities in central North Carolina but rather from the geometric shape geographically formed by three outstanding universi ties, so it is fitting that women are leading by example in high er education. Marye Ann Fox, NSCU Chancellor In announcing the appoint ment of University of Texas at Austin Vice President Marye Anne Fox to become the new chancellor at scientifically prestigious NCSU, UNC Presi dent Molly Broad noted, “For the first time in the history of this University, we will have a chancellor who is a member of the distinguished National Academy of Sciences.” This and other credentials leave Fox with a scientific cur riculum vitae that reads like the product of an entire faculty: Fox, a physical organic chemist by specialization, has authored three books, more than 20 book chapters and more than 300 research papers. She is also a member of the American Philo sophical Society, a fellow in the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and a member of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Fox has served on the National Sci ence Board, and her involve ment in education has reached from the kindergarten level through graduate teaching. In addition to her involve ment in both science and the arts, she has received accolades for perhaps an even more chal lenging accomplishment: her ability to administer the hotbed of activity that is today’s insti tution of higher education. Fox succeeds retiring Chan cellor Larry K. Montkeith, who lived through turmoil ranging from the Jimmy Valvano firing to faculty-student-staff disputes over internal priorities. NCSU is the school that pro duced SAS founder James Goodnight, and it prides itself on its scientific credentials. In everything from meteorology to micro-miniaturization of computer chips, NCSU is a school blasting into the new milennium. That Marye Anne Fox is NCSU’s new leader seems to have nothing to do with her gender but rather her formida ble leadership skills. Fox is an honors graduate of Notre Dame College, af^er which she earned her doctorate from Dartmouth College and completed two years of post-doctoral study at the University of Maryland on fellowships. With over 27,000 students making it the largest campus in the 16-member UNC system, NCSU has also embarked on a Centennial Campus expansion that promises to form the nucleus of a unique corporate, government and university public-private partnership.‘At the forefront of this expansion will be Fox.
