DR. JOHN CARNEGIE NAMED INTERIM SITKA CAMPUS DIRECTOR

Chancellor Marshall Lind has appointed Dr. John Carnegie interim director of the Sitka campus beginning in July. Dr. Kathie Etulain, who has served since the retirement of director Elaine Sunde, will return to her position as assistant to the director.

Carnegie has a Ph. D. from Oregon State University and served as department chair for Engineering Technology at Linn-Benton Community College in Oregon from 1975 to 1995. Most recently he has been project director for the National Science Foundation grant for the Rural Sanitation Education Project on the Sitka campus.

"John's administrative skills will compliment Kathy's program development and grant writing skills," Lind said. "Together they will form a good team for the Sitka campus and for UAS."

A national search for a permanent director will begin in the fall. An earlier search closed without a hire. "After consulting with many people in Sitka and Juneau," Lind said, "I became convinced the best approach for the Sitka campus, and for UAS, was to call on the known strengths of John and Kathy during this interim while we conduct another national search."

A full-time faculty member will be hired to continue Carnegie's work in the environmental technology program.
