5, 1998 Three finalist candidates for the campus director position on the University of Alaska Southeast Ketchikan campus will visit the area May 11-15, according to UAS Chancellor Marshall Lind. The candidates are Dr. Kenneth Brauchle of North Pole, Alaska; Dr. Nicolas Piccolo of Caldwell, Idaho; and Dr. Robert Warren of Wentworth, South Dakota. The successful candidate will replace Dr. Fran Feinerman, who will be stepping down June 30 after eight years on the job to accept the position as president of Northwest College in Powell, Wyoming. The three finalists were selected from an original pool of about 30 applicants. Screening of the candidates was done by a seven-member local committee headed by Ketchikan Gateway Borough Assembly Member Phyllis Yetka. "I commend the committee for their diligence and their hard work," Lind said. "This group represented Ketchikan well. They invested generously of their own time to help ensure a strong UAS Ketchikan campus for years to come." Each of the three candidates will have an opportunity to meet with members of the Ketchikan community, local officials, as well as faculty and staff on the campus. After their Ketchikan visit, each of the candidates will travel to Juneau to meet with Lind and his cabinet. A final selection for the Ketchikan campus director position is expected to be made by Lind before the end of May.
