Neeley
resource center changes staff
By John Ashley Menzies

This
semester, three new faces were added to the staff of
the M.J. Neeley School of Businesss Resource Center,
said Bill Moncrief, senior associate dean.
Lynn
Cole will serve as its new director while Aisha Torrey-Sawyer
will serve as assistant director, a position that was
added this summer. Linda Staller, the newly appointed
academic adviser, takes the place of two previous advisers
who moved elsewhere in the university.
The
players have changed, but the role and philosophy are
still the same, said Cole, who takes the place
of Kim See, who left TCU in the summer to start her
own business.
The
NRC, located in Dan Rodgers Hall, room 130, is responsible
for advising business students in their course selection,
providing orientation for new students and certifying
potential graduates, Cole said.
Cole
said the NRC hopes to build on the tradition of excellence
of the predecessors.
There
are no plans currently to change anything about how
the way the center is run, she said.
It
just so happened that everyone left at one time,
Moncrief said. We just changed the people and
nothing else.
Sawyer,
who came from TCUs undergraduate admissions, said
she will help advise students in their classes and make
sure they have everything they need to graduate.
Staller
said she has spent two years with TCU. She said she
handles the application process for the business school
and makes sure students are on the right track.
Students
find the center helpful, especially when switching to
business as a major, sophomore Melinda Coyne said.
They
are very helpful, she said. They explained
everything I needed to know.
The
NRC also coordinates special events during the year,
Cole said. Neeley Week, which is Oct. 26 to 31, is put
on to help business students get involved with business
clubs and other areas of the Neeley school, she said.
