Search continues for
new dean of college
July 18 marks the last day for
Dr. Nora Bell as dean of the Col-
lege of Arts and Sciences, and a
replacement has not been found.
Bell accepted a position as
president of Wesleyen College in
Macon, Ga.
Dr. William Kamman will act
as interim dean until a replace-
ment is found, which is expected
to take about a year. Kamman is
not an applicant for the position.
Kamman said NT has many
qualities that will appeal to appli-
cants.
"For people who have experi-
ence as a dean or associate, this
position may be attractive," he
said, "The university is an up-
and-coming university. I believe
the university has a bright
future.".
