Jane Deaton, comptroller
Jane came down the road just a bit to take her new job as Elon's comptroller.
Previously, she served in the same capacity with Glen Raven Yarn Co.,
just a few miles from campus. She says the family atmosphere and recent
growth of the campus were the main reasons she came to work at Elon.
Her responsibilities at Elon will be similar to those she had at Glen
Raven, where she handled all accounting functions and monthly financial
reports. She has also worked for Kayser-Roth Corporation and Carlyle
and Company Jewelers in Greensboro.
Jane, who earned bachelor's degrees in business and accounting from
the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, enjoys walking and
reading to unwind and relax. And since her children are involved in
a variety of sports activities, she tries to catch as many of their
games as possible.
Jane and her husband, Barry, have three children, Jennifer, 19, Melissa,
10, and Allison, 7. They enjoy traveling together, and you're likely
to see them out at one of the Mexican restaurants in the area, enjoying
Jane's favorite type of food! |
Sonya Dial Sienerth, coordinator of prospect database
Sonya has done a little bit of everything in her life, which she says
keeps things lively and exciting. "I have an interesting employment
background," she says. "I have sold nuts and bolts, and
I was a computer system administrator once!"
No doubt that experience will come in handy in her new position in
the admissions office, where she has the responsibility of maintaining
the database of new and prospective students.
Sonya earned a bachelor's degree in mathematics from Pfeiffer University,
located in her hometown of Misenheimer, N.C. Her connection to Elon
is her husband, Karl, who teaches in the chemistry department and
was recently named the first recipient of the Japheth E. Rawls Professorship.
They have three children, Nicholas, 9, Ryan, 7, and Sabrina, 5, who
keep them busy at home and with school projects. They also have a
cat named Storm.
Besides spending time with her family and working with arts and crafts,
Sonya says she likes to read "a lot!" Recently, she finished
reading "A Christmas Wedding" by Andrew Greeley. Sonya also
enjoys a wide variety of music, from classical to country.
If she's in the kitchen, Sonya is probably making homemade macaroni
and cheese, following her mother's recipe. "It is easily my favorite
dish, and I usually make a meal out of it." |
Will Holthouser, assistant football coach
Will returns to Elon after spending the past two seasons at the University
of Tennessee at Chattanooga. He served on Elon's football coaching
staff in 1998 and 1999 as defensive coordinator, and he rejoins the
Phoenix in the same capacity. In 1999, with Will as its coordinator,
Elon's defensive unit was ranked eighth in the country in total defense
among NCAA Division I-AA schools. He says he is looking forward to
working with the Elon defense again.
"It is great to be back at Elon," says Will, who has been
involved with football either as a player or coach since 1970. "Rhodes
Stadium is a fabulous facility, and Elon's beautiful campus and academic
reputation make this a great place to coach."
Will earned a bachelor's degree from Wake Forest University, where
he was a defensive lineman on the first team in the school's history
to win the Atlantic Coast Conference championship. He has served as
an assistant coach at Gardner-Webb University, Western Carolina University,
Virginia Military Institute and The Citadel.
Will enjoys spending his spare time on his small farm near Cullowhee,
raising vegetables and tending horses. He and his wife, Carrie, have
two children, Will and Hannah.
