A project that began this summer to im-prove access to Hemenway
and May halls is still ongoing, according to administrators.
The reconstruction of the front entrance-ways to Hemenway Hall,
the rebuilding of the stairs and brick pathways in front of May
Hall and the relocation of the handicap park-ing spaces to the
front of Horace Mann are all projects intended to increase
accessibil-ity and prepare for the construction of a $65 million
science building addition.
The Hemenway construction, which took place over the summer,
cost $3.3 million. This money is coming out of the $65 million
allocated for the new addition, which will be funded predominantly
through state funds.
The blueprints of the project, which are available for viewing
in the McCarthy Cen-ter, show the plans for a new addition to be
added to Hemenway Hall. Construction will EHJLQDWWKHHQGRIVSULQJ
Obviously, we would have preferred WRWHYHU\WKLQJ LQWRD
WKUHHPRQWKSHULRGbut it was just too much scope to have to get done,
said Dale Hamel, executive vice president. The goal was to have one
entry reopened by the beginning of the semester, and we did that
with the [Hemenway] annex - even though that was very tight as well
- I think we only opened it a day or two before-hand.
The reconstruction of the entranceways also triggered
accessibility and code com-pliance issues that the administration
had to address. Buildings that once met code stan-dards at the time
of initial construction no longer meet code for accessibility,
Hamel said.
Where students once had to come up the
VWDLUVDQGJRGRZQDRRUWRDFFHVVFHUWDLQclassrooms, with the addition of
new entries, students can now enter Hemenway at the ground
level.
Hamel also referenced plans for a large lobby area which will
provide access to the rest of the building, either by the elevator
or the new grand staircase that will be built.

code, all of those showers have to provide tepid water - hot and
cold - and have to be designed under the assumption that there is
an emergency in all 22 labs at the same time, Hamel said.
Well, thats like designing a residence hall. Weve never even
used the showers in the labs. So, that one were trying to waive -
but, per code, were trying to upgrade all of that, to have all 22

Dean Stoops was elected Administrator of the Year by students in
the SGA elections last year.

I have my bachelors in psychology from
6PLWK&ROOHJHDQG,JUDGXDWHGLQ7KHQI pursued my masters in
counseling psycholo-gy and my Ph.D. in counseling psychology as
well. My masters is from Bradford University and my Ph.D. is from
Indiana State. So I am a licensed psychologist and started off here
as the director of the counsel-ing center, and over time was
promoted, and I have been the dean of students for the past four -
and - a - half years - I love it.
$UH\RXFXUUHQWO\ZRUN-LQJRQDQ\SURMHFWV"
The biggest project I am working on this year is the Live Safe
campaign. We started with the plan-ning of it last spring and we
are rolling it out this year. It is myself, a num-ber of
administrators, students and faculty who are working on this effort
to really promote increased awareness among our students about
issues related to their safe-ty in all areas and how choices that
students make can really have a positive impact on their safety.
So, you will see things about it as the year progresses. We will be
rolling out different items every month.
:KDWZDV\RXUEHVWH[SHULHQFHLQFROOHJH"
I think my best experience was the connec-tions I established
with other people and the relationships that I developed while I
was there. Just getting to know different faculty on campus,
different students. I have friends PRUH WKDQ\HDUV ODWHU WKDW
,DPVWLOOFORVHwith and have regular contact with. I think there are
so many connections you can estab-lish in college that last a
lifetime and have a bigger impact than you imagine at the time. So
I think for me, it was really about the con-nections.
'R \RX KDYH DQ\ DGYLFH IRU WKH LQFRPLQJIUHVKPDQFODVV"
I think it is easy to give advice, so I think for me, if I were
to limit my advice and not give
SLHFHVRIDGYLFH,ZRXOGVD\UVWRIDOOremember why you are here. I think
it is easy - especially freshman year - it is so new and exciting
and there is so much going on and so many things to try out and
opportunities, that
I think sometimes it is easy to lose sight of why you are here.
Obviously, that will be dif-ferent for each student, but I think
that it can really help in staying focused and establish-ing
priorities throughout the year. The second piece of advice is to
not lose sight of this as an opportunity. I think some people take
their student status for granted, and this is an op-portunity that
a lot of people never get and so really maximize your opportunity -
maximize your four years here in terms, of course, of your
educational experience, but also the less structured education that
you can get outside of the classroom by getting involved and
con-necting with people and just making the most of your time
here.

I wouldnt say there is one because we have so many great
resources, and again, I think that every student is unique and for
example, I might say to a student to go to CASA because it is a
great resource and its a great resource for all stu-dents, but
there also might be another student who has a particular need that
the best resource for them could be somewhere else on campus. So
the short answer is no, but the big
answer is there is a lot of great resources and I hope that the
students get the time to know what those are and that they feel
like they can use those as needed throughout their time.
:KDWFDQLQFRPLQJIUHVKPHQGRWRHQVXUHWKHLUUVW\HDURIFROOHJHLVDVXFFHVV"
Go to class. That sounds obvious, but people miss class. Go to
class, get to know professors, take advantage of life outside of
the classroom because college is about the whole person and
developmentally, there is a lot going on your
UVW\HDUDQGVRMXVWUHDOO\SXUVXLQJZKDW\RXUinterests are. :KDW GR \RX
KRSH VWXGHQWV UHPHPEHUDERXW)UDPLQJKDP6WDWHDIWHUWKH\JUDGX-DWH"
I hope they remember the strong sense of com-munity here because
I think once someone graduates and leaves an institution, there are
plenty of opportunities to stay connected and to come back, and I
think it is going to be the community that draws them even as
faculty and staff will retire and leave and there will be new
students, but the institution and the sense of community is a
constant. So, I think that will always be here, and so I hope that
when students leave, they will take that with them and that they
will always feel welcome com-ing back to our community.

accessibility
sion of the lawn there. The May Hall proj-ect, which also
consisted of replacing the stairs and brick pathways in front of
the EXLOGLQJ WRWDOHG ZKLFK FDPHout of College Operations, said
Hamel.
In order keep to code standards, the readjustment of the stairs
in front of May was a project that FSU assumed after the town of
Framingham spent $1.2 million on rebuilding State Street.
One of the things we committed to as part of that project was
when they put the new curbing and sidewalks in, that step went into
the sidewalk area - again, QRWFRGHFRPSOLDQW6REHFDXVHLWZDVpercent on
our property, we committed to replacing the stairs and moving it
off of the sidewalk, Hamel said.
This also meant tearing up the old brick pathways on the lawn
and rebuilding them, as everything was pushed back to make the
stairs level with the sidewalk.
According to Hamel, the stairs and pathways couldnt be
reconstructed last summer because the handicap parking also needed
to be replaced.
The master plan for campus shows
handicap spaces on the periphery of the campus, both in front of
Horace Mann and in front of the new entrance to Hemenway. The plan
also envisions a great lawn in front of May Hall, where students
can lounge or study. Removing cars and park-ing in front of May
allows for an unencum-bered view of the lawn, Hamel said.
The handicap spaces used to be right up by a wall of brick
blocks - all of which ZHUH GHWHULRUDWLQJ VR ZH QHHGHG WR [that
parking, but what we did was relocate it. That way, we were able to
keep the cur-rent parking in use and by moving it off to the side,
were able to add a [handicap] parking spot, getting rid of the
parking in front of May Hall, said Hamel.
Hamel said an important aspect of the project is adding three
additional parking spaces. Although only one space is des-ignated
handicap, the other spaces can be used by drivers with handicap
parking permits.
The nice thing about the [visitor] spots is that the handicap
sticker allows you to park in those as well, said Hamel.
Stephanie Williams, a senior, has had Sarcoidosis for 17 years,
a lung disease that affects her breathing and requires her
to carry an oxygen tank at all times. Wil-liams has used the
handicap spaces in front of May for four years, and was surprised

farther and up a slight incline - which is like a steep hill for

and had to drive around and ask for assistance from campus police -
who suggested that I park behind Dwight or in the Welcome Center
lot because all of the handicap spaces were taken in front of
Horace Mann.
Williams said that by the time she got to the stairs in front of
Hemenway, she thought that her lungs would explode.
I had to wait a few minutes to catch my breath before being able
to climb the stairs
and was a bit late to class. What others may consider a short
distance is sometimes torturous for me. Im not looking forward to
the winter months, she said.
Deb Rosenberg, a senior, said she was not surprised by the
continuing construc-tion on campus.
The past four years here, there has been construction, Rosenberg
said, so I am used to it. If anything needs to be more accessible,
it would be the hill and the Maynard parking lot.
Scott Shea, also a senior, commented on how the long road of
construction ahead affects students around campus.
Its a little disappointing to see the construction still
happening during the beginning of this semester, Shea said. I
personally think construction should be completed in the summers
since the con-struction can disrupt classes. ... I like it when our
campus looks its best, and I feel the construction hinders
that.

contributions they will make to the university.

Vaden-Goad.
Greenbergs title has therefore been changed from associate vice

Vaden-Goad explained that Greenbergs title has been changed
simply because his previous role carried too many responsi-bilities
for one person.
The new dean will report to her, and she said in an e-mail that
Greenberg will con-tinue to oversee the DGCE budget and as-sist

location for certain in-dividuals. We didnt need to do any major

Hamel also said it is unlikely that the realignment will result

At the Sept. 11 SGA meeting, sena-tors voted on a proposed
amendment that would see the addition of a senate chair and
WKHHOLPLQDWLRQRIYHH[HFXWLYHERDUGSR-sitions.
Vice President Larry Liuzzo explained that if the new amendment
passed, SGA would see the creation of a Senate Chair who would call
and preside over all SGA meetings.
Liuzzo said the idea for the amend-ment came from taking a look
at other schools student governments. There was an overwhelming
majority of SGAs that KDG DQRWKHU RIFHU UXQ WKHPHHWLQJV KHsaid, We
debated back and forth for a few months and came to the decision to
adopt the same policy.
SGA President Hannah Bruce, who currently presides over all SGA
meetings, sees the creation of a new senate chair as a positive and
doesnt mind losing presiding power. The president tends to be the
most knowledgeable about policies and proce-dures on campus, she
said, but they have to be non-biased. Theyre not really able to
present their opinions.
The addition of the proposed position, Bruce said, would help
alleviate the pres-sure of having to watch what she said when
answering questions in an unbiased way at SGA meetings.
The motion for the proposed amend-ment passed unanimously.
If the amendment were to be added to the SGA constitution, it
would lead to the HOLPLQDWLRQ RI YH H[HFXWLYH ERDUG SRVL-tions.
These positions are a senator-at-large
