Veteran writer joins Park staff Harper to bring experience to school After a slightly extended search, the Roy H. Park School of Communications hired Journalist Christopher Harper as the first Park D1st1ngu1shed Chair m Communications. One of the concerns students had regarding hmng a Park Chair was that whoever was hired would have extensive knowledge of both print and broadcast Journalism. The other requirement was that the person have teaching experience. Many of the candidates specialized 1n either print or broadcast jour­ nalism and had limited teaching experience. Even fewer had online expertise. Harper's credentials indicate he w1il be able to bring a lot to the College. Harper is perhaps the most well-rounded candidate who 1nter­ v1ewed with the College. He has worked for the Associated Press, Newsweek and ABC News. He has also authored two books on online Journalism. But, Harper has also had several years teaching experi­ ence at New York University. Many have questioned why we should have an endowed chair, as opposed to a regular faculty member. In this case, the answer should be obvious. Not only will Harper bring his background and experience to the classroom, but he will also bring it to extra-curricular groups at ALS: ''Don't tolerate racism'' the College as well. Having such a position will also add to the pres­ tige of the journalism program at Ithaca College.
