Hanitchak '73 takes over as NAP director

By Erin Loback | January 5, 1996

Michael Hanitchak '73 became the new director of the Native American Program on Dec. 1 following a nationwide search to fill the position vacated by Acting Director John Sirois last June. Hanitchak served as interim director of the program before accepting the permanent position. Senior Associate Dean of the College Dan Nelson headed the search committee which selected Hanitchak as the most qualified candidate from a national pool. Nelson said Hanitchak's knowledge of and familiarity with Dartmouth were beneficial assets. Hanitchak said he has been involved with the Native American Program at Dartmouth since its inception in 1970. "Having this position makes me feel like I've come home," he said. He said he hopes to continue a feeling of family, community and history in the program. Hanitchak said he would like to "establish a smooth operation" in the program, as it "never had a clear direction because it was constantly changing personnel." The program has not had a permanent director since the conclusion of the 1993- 1994 academic year, when Leisha Conners left the position. Class of 1996 Dean Sylvia Langford, a member of the search committee, said Hanitchak "exudes an aura of encouragement and support for everyone around him.

Moore's new position at the Hughes-Trigg Student Center, which he said combines elements of Collis, the Hopkins Center for the Performing Arts and Thayer Dining Hall, will entail broader responsibilities than his job at Dartmouth, and Moore said he is looking forward to the challenges of his new job. The Hughes-Trigg Student Center is much bigger than Collis contains a food court, a convenience store, a post office, a hair salon, a travel agency, an art gallery, a 500-seat theater, a ballroom and administrative offices. Moore said he is also looking forward to living in Dallas, a city he hopes will prove more cosmopolitan than Hanover or Lebanon.
