Dr. Cheryl Norton is the last of four candidates to the chancellor position at the University of Wisconsin-Superior to answer questions from student, staff, and faculty, on Monday, in the Yellowjacket Union Great Room.

Norton is the former president of Southern Connecticut State University at New Haven. She is now on a sabbatical to undergo a K-12 education reform, including the changing needs for teacher preparation.

The discussion started on Norton’s plan and development goal for UWS, which included the valuation of undergraduate studies as the ground for improving graduate programs, and also the efficient use of the marketing image of UWS. “By reaching out to the community, we will help the community to reach out to us, UWS” says Norton.

The review of Norton’s agenda for the university started the question and answers with students, staff, and faculty.

Norton defines the position of Provost, and describes it as an experienced person both as a teacher, and as a member of the community. “The provost also has to know a lot about budget” Norton concludes her answer.

Faculty and staff from multiple departments raced to the microphone to ask the candidate questions that would help understand the idea Norton wants to develop for UWS, whether it is in arts, or in international and global awareness.
