Cory Wallack and a committee have spent the last two academic years looking for a qualified Health Services director. Now they’re hoping they’ve finally found one. Health Services is in the formal decision-making process for a director and is performing reference checks on each of the three candidates, said Wallack, co-chair of the search committee and director of the Counseling Center. He said he anticipates the department will announce the new director before the end of the spring semester and have the candidate start work by July 1, he said. “It’s crucial for them to have someone who’s providing the senior leadership for their office,” Wallack said. Health Services officials declined to reveal the names of the candidates, but Wallack said none of them are from Health Services. Without a director, Health Services has been lacking the person who leads and carries out the department’s mission. Directors are responsible for the oversight of all the policies and procedures in Health Services and for collaborating with the other health and wellness units on campus, said Rebecca Dayton, associate vice president of student affairs for health and wellness, in an email.

Two-car collision leaves student injured By Jon Harris and Debbie Truong THE DAILY ORANGE

Two cars collided at the intersection of Euclid and Ostrom avenues Tuesday at approximately 9:37 p.m., leaving a student injured and bystanders rushing to the scene. A black Mazda Millenia was traveling northbound on Ostrom when it collided with a blue Honda CR-V turning left onto Euclid Avenue from Ostrom. The Mazda had heavy front-end damage, as its hood was crunched into its windshield. The CR-V had damage down its passenger side. Ellie Sul, a junior communication and rhetorical studies major, was a passenger in the

Honda and was bleeding from her head following the accident, said Kyle Yi, the driver of the Honda and senior biochemistry major. Sul was taken to Crouse Hospital on a stretcher by Rural/Metro at approximately 9:50 p.m., Yi said. Yi and Sul were the only two in the Honda, he said. Neither Yi nor the driver of the Mazda was transported for injuries. David Khai, the driver of the Mazda and a first-year student at Onondaga Community College, said he was traveling on Ostrom and had the right of way when the Honda turned left onto Euclid in front of him. He said they both had a green light on Ostrom. Khai was
