University of the South Vice-Chancellor John McCardell has tapped Barbara Schlichting, a lifelong Sewanee resident, to take on responsibility for community relations for the university.
Schlichting is active in the Sewanee Business Alliance and has played a key role in the development of downtown Sewanee and Parsons Green. She is a member of the Community Council, the Sewanee Civic Association, and Leaseholders’ Association. Schlichting also serves as the university administration liaison to the Board of Trustees’ Community Relations Committee.
“Barbara’s work as superintendent of leases and in the university’s division responsible for community relations since 1989 has prepared her well for this new role,” said McCardell. “I look forward to even stronger relationships between the university and community members in the future.”
“Sewanee is a great community and it is important that all of us better understand how we can best live and work together,” Schlichting said of her expanded role.
Schlichting will continue in her role as Superintendent of Leases. Community members and leaseholders may reach her at 598-1998 or by email to <barbara.schlichting@sewanee.edu>.
