Dean’s withdrawal requires replacement
Published February 04, 2010
The search for a new Dean for the College of Arts and Sciences is set to begin in late spring as soon as a search committee is put together, according to Provost and Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs Fernando Delgado.
The current Dean of CAS, Terry Brown, has accepted the position of Provost and Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs at UW-Parkside, and will be leaving UW-River Falls in mid-March. Associate Dean Brad Caskey will step in as the Interim Dean as soon as Brown leaves and for the 2010-2011 academic year.
“Brad Caskey will help with the transition,” Delgado said. “He offers good continuity with his experience as filling in for interim dean in the past.”

UWRF students raise money for Haiti relief efforts
Published February 05, 2010
“I woke up to bouncing on my bed and the walls shaking … moving back and forth,” said UW-River Falls student Alicia Bartel about her experience living through the earthquake in Haiti on Jan. 12. Bartel and her friend Paige Paulson, another UWRF student, ran out of their hotel room and saw that the pool had “ocean-like waves.” Bartel was volunteering at an orphanage in Fedja [FAY’-dja], 35 miles from Port-au-Prince, when the earthquake struck.

Charity should not be status symbol
Published February 04, 2010
After the tragedy in Haiti, America has been hurled into the most charitable state of mind itís been in since September 11, 2001. However, this circumstance differentiates itself from that terrible day in 2001 and other national tragedies - like Hurricane Katrina - because it grounds itself beyond American borders.
