Fresh Perspecfive ls Goal For Tanner Among rhe many changes ar William Jewell rhis year, one difference will affecr all srudenrs, Dr. Jim E. Tanner was appoinred Academic Dean ro replace Dr. Gordon lsingsley, who ascended ro rhe Presidency. Dean Tanner was anxious ro come ro William Jewell TO become a parr of irs fine academic as well as exfra- curricular program, 'lWilliam Jewell is a highly respecred school in rhe liberal arrs circles, rhe Dean said 'lThe srudenfs fend ro be good srudenrs, which creares an inreresring place for rhe reachers ro reach. Dean Tanner brings TO William Jewell a grear deal of experience and hopes ro offer fresh perspecrives because of his lsnowledge of how rhings are done in orher places, 'll hope fo conrribure posirively TO rhe goal of excellence in fhe reaching-learning process here ar Jewell, he said, As rhe Academic Dean of rhe College, his responsibil- iries are numerous and varied. l-le is accounrable for rhe enrire academic program, which includes rhe curriculum, rhe advising program, rhe academic policies, as well as rhe recruiring of faculry. I-le also supervises rhe overseas programs, rhe library, and rhe regisrrar's office. Alrhough Dean Tanner'sjobs are specific, he is commif- red ro rhe broad liberal arfs educafion. Dean Tanner defines liberal arfs educarion as being . . fhe abilify ro rhinls for one's self, ro learn by one's self, and fo help one's self find his own idenriryf' He added rhar fhis rype of educarion is srill viable, even in roday's changing world. The College will nor shifr ro a career-relafed educarion fo produce narrowly rrained graduafes, buf insread will con- rinue wirh a broad educafion. The program of srudies is adapfing, rhough, ro encom- pass more fypes of marlferable slsills. This change is mosr evidenr in rhe planned implemenfarion of a compufer liferacy program for all undergraduares. Anorher imporaranr considerafion of higher educafion should be rhe imporfance of graduafe schools, according ro Dean Tanner. lb The new Academic Dean of William Jewell College is Dr. Jim Tanner. 25 Dean Tanner is raking parr in rhe Presidenrial Convocarion.
