At its December work session, Mayor Pam Hemminger appointed Chapel Hill Town Councilwoman, Rachel Schaevitz, to serve on the board of the Visitors Bureau. With the Board of Orange County Commissioners approval, Rachel Schaevitz will serve as the new representative for the Visitors Bureau Board, beginning in January 2018. Rachel comes to Chapel Hill from Philadelphia, where she earned her Ph.D. in Media & Communication from Temple University, focusing on using media and the humanities as vehicles for social change. While cinema has been her primary focus, with a background in independent film production as well as an MFA in Film Studies from Boston University and BFA in Film Production from New York University, she is an art lover at heart and looks forward to helping local partners plan events across the humanities. Ms. Schaevitz has expressed a keen interest in sustainable energy and being thoughtful about how we invest in transit and development. We are confident Ms. Schaevitz’s connection to the University, her commitment to the arts and sustainable development will be a strong contributor to tourism for Orange County. We look forward to having Ms. Schaevitz on the Visitors Bureau Board.

I have taught at two universities and one community college. Most recently, I served on a volunteer committee for the Chapel Hill Carrboro City Schools to review their vocational curriculum. Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: I am deeply committed to the success of our community college system. As a project coordinator for a STEM project at Florida A&M, I counseled students who would not have been able to afford college if they had not been able to complete their general education credits at the community college. For many students, especially those in rural and under-funded urban high schools, the community college helps build the study skills and academic independence needed to be successful in a 4-year school. The community college also serves the needs of adult learners who need basic academic and technical skills. This is a population that I believe is not always well represented by academic administrators.

Conflict of Interest: Durham Technical Community College Board of Trustees What improvements do you believe can be made so that DTCC better serves the residents of Orange County? I don't know enough as an outsider to recommend improvements. However, I can say that through my work with the vocational training program at Chapel Hill Carrboro City Schools, I do think there could be a closer working relationship between Orange County's public schools and Durham Tech. I'd also like to see a close working relationship with the Economic Development Office if it doesn't already exist. Finally, I would like to see greater emphasis placed on adult basic literacy. As a county, I would like to adopt the goal of ensuring 100% of our adults can read and compute basic math at the 8th grade level. 17 Volunteer Application Orange County Advisory Boards and Commissions Missy Julian-Fox Page 1 of 2 Home Address:324 West University Drive Township of Residence: Chapel Hill Zone of Residence: Ethnic Background:white Sex:Female Phone (Day):919-962-1630 Phone (Evening):919-368-5006 Phone (Cell):919-368-5006 Email:mjfox@unc.edu Name: Missy Julian-Fox Boards/Commissions applied for: Chapel Hill NC 27516 Other Comments: Place of Employment: UNC Visitors' Center Job Title:director Name Called: Year of OC Residence:1951 Community Activities/Organizational Memberships: Chapel Hill Downtown Partnership, Ackland Art Museum, Chapel Hill Historical Society, Chapel Hill Preservation Society, author presentations for local schools Past Service on Orange County Advisory Boards: CHAPEL HILL CARRBORO CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, PAST DOWNTOWN COMMISSION, PAST Supplemental Questions: Boards/Commissions appointments: Chapel Hill/Orange County Visitors Bureau Background, education and experience relevant to this board: As a longtime resident, business and property owner, community volunteer and running a visitors center for the past 9 years for the University of North Carolina I have insight and experience into the world and work of CHOCVB.
