Like the ranks of its membership, the Alumni office is growing and has added a new staff member. Bill Fiege, a 1995 Longwood graduate and member of the faculty, was appointed recently as assistant director of alumni relations. Fiege will be responsible for all regional alumni programs, young alumni events, and the alumni travel programs, along with other duties. He will also continue to advise the Mortar Board Honor Society.
     A native of Onancock on the Eastern Shore, Fiege received a B.S. in political science from Longwood and an M.S. in communication studies from Bloomsburg University in Pennsylvania. His father, Dr. John Fiege, then president of Eastern Shore Community College, was the speaker at his Longwood commencement exercises.
     As an undergraduate, Fiege competed in forensics and was president of the team for two years. He is a charter member of Longwood's chapter of Phi Kappa Tau fraternity, and remains active with the fraternity.
    After receiving his master's degree, he was an adjunct instructor at Longwood for two years before being appointed instructor of speech last year during which he taught four courses.
     Under his leadership, the Longwood Forensics Society achieved national excellence winning numerous individual and team awards. Students traveled and competed throughout the country and finished sixth in the nation in Division II for 1999. Although he will no longer be teaching courses, Fiege does plan to continue as the director of the Longwood Forensics Society.
