CLINTON, S.C.--Dr. Ann B. Stidham, professor of psychology, has been named

1978. She earned her B.S. degree from Muskinghum College, her M.A.  degree

TUSCALOOSA, Ala.--Dr. Ernest McNealey, president-designate at Stillman 
College, was introduced to and welcomed by Stillman faculty, staff, 
students and members of the Tuscaloosa community recently as he spoke to an 
overflow audience at Brown Memorial Presbyterian Church. McNealey said he 
was attracted to Stillman by following the work of Dr. Cordell Wynn, 
Stillman's current president. Wynn will retire June 30 after more than 15 
years as president at Stillman and more than 40 years in education. 
McNealey served as vice president for academic affairs at Claflin College 
and has taught at Ohio State University in Columbus, Fort Valley State 
College in Georgia and Dothan City Schools in Alabama. He obtained his

PORTLAND, Ore.--"On the Move: Global Migration and Refugee Dilemmas" was 
the focus of Lewis & Clark College's 35th annual International Affairs 
Symposium, April 7-9. Each of the sessions features a special student 
debate on global labor migration and nearly all sessions were set up to 
include opposing viewpoints. "The number of migrants and refugees in the 
world is growing," said Cory Curtis, a senior international affairs major 
and symposium co-chair. "Migrant and refugee issues now come into people's 
living rooms every day as we witness Bosnia, Rwanda, the Kurdish problem, 
the ongoing problem in Israel and Proposition 187 in California. Speakers 
included academicians as well as people who work with refugees and 
immigration issues every day.
