Rachel Windham has been named associate director of the Carolina Center for
Public Service.
She will serve as the center's chief administrative officer, oversee
financial and budget matters, help with fundraising, teach on public service
and manage public service communications for the entire campus.
The center, dedicated in September 1999, acts as the "gateway" to Carolina.
Among its primary responsibilities are to serve North Carolina citizens by
giving them access to the University's many resources and to foster Carolina
faculty, staff and student public service.
Except for a brief interruption in 1973-74, Windham has worked at Carolina
since 1972. She has been an assistant to two vice chancellors for business and
finance, assistant director of the Frank Porter Graham Child Development Center
and -- most recently -- director of business and finance and special assistant
to the dean at the School of Dentistry.
"Sometimes the stars align to put the right people in the right places to
do the right things," Nick Didow, director of the Center for Public Service,
said in announcing Windham's appointment. "That is what happened when the
chancellor and the provost asked Rachel Windham to assist the center in its
first official week by taking on an added responsibility as project manager of
the Hurricane Floyd Recovery Project. Rachel came on board and worked
tirelessly, as she has for a quarter of a century, to represent Carolina at its
best.
"We are extremely fortunate that she has agreed to continue her service to
the University and the citizens of North Carolina by serving as the center's
first associate director."
Windham's record of service and contributions to the University have been
acknowledged by a Chancellor's Award nomination in 1991, the Employee Forum
Community Award in 1995, Bell Award nominations in 1996 and 1997 and the C.
Knox Massey Distinguished Service Award in 1997.
Windham earned a bachelor's degree from Carolina in 1999, majoring in
communication studies with an emphasis in public relations.
