This Wednesday, Feb. 1, President Timo-thy Flanagan hosted the second All Univer-sity Meeting of the year to update faculty, staff and students on FSUs progress and plans for the future.

The last All University Meeting took place on Sept. 15, when Flanagan put in place a plan for four Ps - philanthropy, people, planet, and planning. Today is in the form of an update of where we have FRPHLQWKHODVWIRXURUYHPRQWKVLQUHOD-tion to those four Ps, and where we hope to be by the time May 20 rolls around at the end of the semester.

According to Flanagan, the philanthropy

aspect of the plan includes the universitys UVW FRPSUHKHQVLYH IXQGUDLVLQJ FDPSDLJQin its history. He said that in order to pre-pare ourselves as an institution to the point where we can undertake a major fundrais-ing campaign it will involve a couple of important components. These components include leadership from both inside and out-side the university, developing a compelling case for why the university deserves sup-SRUW QGLQJ SRWHQWLDO SURVSHFWV IRU QDQ-cial support and the most important piece of it - a plan.

We have a couple of benchmarks in mind in the year 2014. On Jul. 3, 2014 to be exact, the university will celebrate its 175th anniversary, and we intend to mark that important anniversary in ways that are consistent with the work on the campaign, said Flanagan.

The school is currently contracting with an organization called CCS Incorporated, headed by Lindsey Humes, the companys vice president, to help in the design phase of the fundraising campaign.

Flanagan announced that the university hired a new executive director of advance-ment and alumni relations, Eric Gustafson, from Anna Maria College in Paxton, Mas-sachusetts, where he was the director of de-velopment. He will be working with Humes on the fundraising campaign plan, said Fla-nagan, until the summer, when we will sort of take the training wheels off and we will undertake this hard work and activity on our own over the next couple of years.

SGA passed an amendment to its con-stitution Tuesday which affects the pro-cess by which clubs are allocated funds.

Vice President Molly Goguen and Senator Larry Liuzzo proposed a new event-based budget system. According to Goguen, the presentation was meant to be a response to questions asked by the members at a previous meeting.

Over the last two years, we have been working toward getting an event-based budget system, said Goguen. This is NLQGRI OLNH WKHQDOVWHSZHUHJHWWLQJ

procedure would be more effective than current policies because it would help SGA know exactly how much money is going into and out of our account.

While Goguen said they will keep track of their funds on CollegiateLink, they will also really stress a paper trail. There will be written documentation of all funding given to clubs under the new policy.

According to Liuzzo, the current sys-tem was not effective, so a change needed to be made. Last year, he said there were major breakdowns between mini- and

big-budget seasons, which made it dif-FXOW IRU FOXEV 6*$ DQG 6,/' WR ZRUNtogether.

Liuzzo also emphasized the importance of the paper trail, which will help SGA stay organized and keep track of how much is being allocated and to which clubs. Each club, he said, will have its own divider in a binder to further organization efforts.

According to Liuzzo, CollegiateLink will be updated constantly so SGA is aware of how much is left in their funds, but it will take some time for the results to

GP: Can you please provide a brief summary of your resume and educational background.

I did my undergraduate at Xavier University, which is in Cincinnati, Ohio, and then I did my masters and Ph.D. in history at John Hopkins, which is in Balti-more. I study 19th century American history, particu-larly families and childhood.

GP: Why did you decide to major in history?

I was always really interested in what it was like to live at different points in time - what the ex-perience was like to live in a culture that was different from our own. It started with an interest, ac-tually, in novels as a child that were set in different periods, and then it led me to question more deeply what those experi-ences were like and how people viewed the world differently at different points in time.

GP: What courses do you teach?

I teach the American history survey, Civil War, Family and American Life, and next year, I will be teaching American Womens History.

GP: What was your best experience in college?

I really enjoyed the chance to get to try a lot of new things and be exposed to a lot of new ideas and new ways of looking at the world. In particular, I went to a liberal arts school, and we were forced to take a bunch of classes that I had no interest in at all and resented having to take, and it turned out that with hindsight, some of those did more for me than ones I would have chosen to take. I had to take a philosophy class that was painful, but that was where I learned to write, an economics class that I didnt want to take and it turns out that I ended up minoring in it, so just being pushed

to try different things.

GP: What is the best part of your job here at FSU?

The fact that there are small classes, and so I feel like I get to know my students. Also, the fact that students feel like there is - or my impression is - that students feel like there is a community, and that faculty are ap-proachable and are willing to talk about things that come up, ask intriguing questions, push the conversa-tion and really take ownership of the educational ex-perience.

GP: Are you currently working on anyprojects?

I am working on a book that looks at New York City orphanages in the 19th century, and in ef-fect what it is, is that these are children, most of whom have a living parent who cant af-ford to keep them, and the ways in which these poor families, middle-class managers who run the institutions and the children themselves all come together and work to use the institution of the orphanage for their own purposes but have to negotiate what ex-actly that will look like.

GP: Do you have any advice for students?

Challenge yourself. This is quite possibly the only time in your

life where you have the freedom to really push and explore and not be pushed into a box, and so use it - faculty are there to help and will not let you fall, but take the challenge. You will get much more out of your time and your money if you really push rather than settling.

New budget policy in place for clubsappear, which is why SGA is implement-ing written records.

Goguen said that as far as Collegiate-Link is concerned, the process would ulti-mately stay the same. Im sure clubs can tell you that the accounts arent always updated immediately. It is a little bit of a process, but not a process that we as SGA can change.

Under the new system, Goguen said she believes there is no reason why this cant work if we stay organized. She also said WKDWLWJLYHVFOXEVPRUHH[LELOLW\WRFRPHto SGA as they plan events, and clubs can request multiple events in one meeting.

A survey of club presidents at Mon-days Presidents Council meeting showed that clubs were not happy with the current EXGJHW SURFHVV &OXE RIFHUV H[SUHVVHGthat they are very overwhelmed when try-LQJWRSODQDEXGJHWDIXOOVFDO\HDULQDG-vance, said Goguen.

The new budget system would also make for smoother transitions from clubs e-boards from one year to the next. In the past, clubs had to plan a budget year a full year in advance.

Under the new policy, each club would be allocated a lump sum of $300 at the be-ginning of the fall. These moneys are for funding events clubs may hold at the be-ginning of the year before they appear at an SGA meeting. Goguen said that money can be spent as long as it applies to the clubs mission statement and follows SATF guidelines.

According to Liuzzo, if a club wanted to plan a number of events but didnt want to take up senate time on Tuesday nights, there would be an event senate meeting one Friday every semester, or once every month. Clubs would come and propose events and have all the information need-ed and we can pass them there, he said, which is one solution we thought would help.

If a club wanted to hold an event at the beginning of the year the cost for which would exceed the amount of the lump

sum, a committee serving over the summer would meet and decide as usual during the school year, said Liuzzo.

For any event under $300, that club would go to FinCom and request money for an event, and FinCom would pass it then and there, said Liuzzo. They go through the processes. FinCom will use a checklist for every club requesting funds, ensuring that clubs come prepared and that the request follows SATF guidelines.

7KHFKHFNOLVWVDLG*RJXHQLVQRWQDOand can be altered.

According to Goguen, club sports and organizations will essentially stay the same, as far as big budget matters go.

Publications, however, are not clearly clubs or organizations, but have stressed

that they wish to be viewed as organiza-tions, as they may need to pay for things in advance, Goguen said.

Its something we can talk about as a senate if we decide to pass it, said Goguen.

According to Liuzzo, to be considered an organization, a club must have been ac-tive for at least 10 consecutive years, hold annual events and productions and have subcommittees or subdivisions. This en-sures that a club is strong and that e-board members transition well, he said. Ten years would allow for two full -board transitions.

Every organization, said Liuzzo, will have an individual contract that must be followed that senate will implement and work with at a budget meeting. If organiza-tions fail to follow their contracts, they will lose their status as organizations, he said.

If a club does not spend all of the funds allocated for an event, they will roll back into SGAs unallocated account, as hap-

pens now.Liuzzo and Goguen also said that un-

der the new policy, clubs would come bet-ter prepared to senate, which would lead to shorter meetings. At FinCom, requests from clubs under $300 will pass right then and there so senate doesnt have to see them, which would reduce the length and stress of regular senate meetings.

Goguen also proposed placing a limit on how many clubs can come to senate at any one meeting to help control the length of meetings.

CollegiateLink, she said, will still be used by clubs to submit requests for fund-LQJ&OXEVZLOOEHQRWLHGWKDWWKH\DUHRQthe agenda through CollegiateLink. SILD, she said, will be used a resource to make

sure clubs are spending money how they should.

According to Liuzzo, the new budget policy is an effort to serve the students, campus and clubs and to strengthen the bond [SGA] has with them because clubs will be interacting with SGA regularly.

Some concerns were raised about the new policy in discussion after Senator Na-than Stowes made a motion to accept the constitutional amendment.

Senators Keyona Bell and Terri Deluise raised the issue that mini-budget season is only two weeks away, and SGA would have to vote on which clubs would be con-sidered organizations.

President Hannah Bruce suggested that SGA can make amendments to the policy as needed, SGA will vote on which clubs should be organizations. She also said there will be a meeting on Monday at 1:30 at which SGA will inform clubs of their

status under the new policy.If the policy fails, said Goguen, SGA

Some members asked about the 10 years required to become an organization. According to Goguen and Liuzzo, an orga-nization can downgrade to a club at their will, but can always reapply to become an organization.

Bruce suggested adding a clause to the amendment, indicating that the guidelines for becoming an organization can be over-ULGGHQZLWKDPDMRULW\YRWHE\VHQDWH

Bruce also suggested an amendment which would allow for an emergency meet-ing over the summer for e-board members of SGA in the event a club requests addi-tional funds for the beginning of the school year.

Senator Nathan Stowes motion to pass carried with three opposed, and Senator Melissa Keenes formal amendment to accept the revisions passed with four op-posed.

Plans for the future discussed at All University Meetingdesign task force, but as the semester goes on, we will get a clearer picture of what the potential is, said Flanagan.

In terms of people, the second P, Fla-nagan said the two objectives from the September meeting were to inventory and set goals for everything the university does for employees regardless of job title. So, whether you are driving a pickup truck and you are on the custodial staff, or youre a professor of physics, we want to make sure we have you on our radar.

Associate Director of Human Services Erin Nechipurenko reported that an over-whelming majority of departments have had a place to participate in professional devel-opment activities. However, it appears that some departments have done so on a more regular basis than others.

Dean of Students Melinda Stoops intro-duced a campaign, called Live Safe, for which she is now recruiting faculty, staff and students. The campaign recognizes that college-age students take risks and engage in regrettable behaviors, but will focus on safe choices, bystander intervention, and helping other people make safe choices. The campaign, which is really about be-haviors, will roll out in the fall.

The planet was the third P. Flanagan discussed the schools sustainability initia-tives and progress in meeting the Climate

Action Plan goals, such as the opening of a green building, North Hall. Flanagan said that although it was a gigantic battle about to eliminate of trays in the cafeteria a few years ago, and we thought the world was going to end. Two classes that have gone through the dining halls without trays all seem to have survived.

Warren Fairbanks, director of facilities, updated the forum on where the school is in terms of planet initiatives. He said that the school has already made some great strides on the hard side of it, the technical aspects of the Climate Action Plan including mea-suring green house gas and carbon dioxide emissions, reducing energy consumption, cutting down on water use and recycling, which Facilities has been pushing forward.

+HVDLGLWLVJRLQJWREHGLIFXOWWRPDNHthe next step, which is a change in the so-cial and behavioral aspects of the Cli-mate Action Plan. Fairbanks said this is changing the way people act like turning off the lights when you leave the room, put-ting on a sweater and wearing short sleeve shirts in the summer.

According to Fairbanks, FSU is a leader, ahead of a lot of other universities in energy HIFLHQF\DQGLVLQWKHPLGGOHRIDPLO-lion conservation project, of which $2.7 mil-lion was given to the university by a grant from the commonwealth.

Flanagan said that the strategic plan-

ning process is important because it brings together all aspects of the universitys im-provements. The last strategic plan in 2008 LQFOXGHG VSHFLF UHFRPPHQGDWLRQV WRmove the campus forward, said Flanagan, which the university has improved upon in the last few years.

However, one of the recommendations from the last strategic plan was to create a new mission statement. New vision and mission statements were created by the FSU community based on a set of bedrock prin-ciples that will help to support the strategic plan going forward, said Flanagan.

Our last strategic plan was highly con-spicuous by the complete and virtual ab-sence of an academic plan, which is more than a little ironic in an academic institu-tion, said Flanagan.

He added that the Division of Academic Affairs drafted an academic plan over the last eight months that will really drive the rest of the university going forward.

Flanagan said that the university has input from the community to think about strategic planning 2.0, but that they des-perately need more faculty to get involved in the budget planning committee.

Dale Hamel, executive vice president, discussed the process of strategic planning to develop functional plans, weave them together as a cohesive whole and identify priorities.

The strategic plan will be presented to the Board of Trustees in May and will cover WKHVFDO\HDUZKLFKVWDUWV-XO\RIWKLV\HDUDQGWKHQH[WYH\HDUV7KHUHZLOOEHWZRVWXGHQWRSHQIRUXPVVSHFLFDOO\RQthe planning process on Feb. 15 and a date to be announced in May. There will be two more All University Meetings on March 26 and April 30 before the presentation of the strategic plan to the Board of Trustees.

Dean of Students Melinda Stoops ex-plained, This award was something we applied for. We responded to questions related to our policies for admissions, transfer credit, withdrawals and readmis-sion. We also provided information about campus resources for veterans - including our Veteran and Servicemember Resource Desk, the veterans lounge and the FSU Veterans Association.

President of Veterans Association Fla-vio Mendes said, I believe that Fram-ingham State not only offers outstanding value in its education - be it the quality of the faculty, the small size of classes and the familiar feeling of the campus, but also the school provides pragmatic support to vet-erans.

FSU, in my experience, will accom-modate every reasonable request that student veterans have, without awarding special favors, quotas or privilege. Person-ally, I believe that all veterans can relate to and agree with a fair treatment, and I can strongly state that none of us are looking for preferential treatment. We seek only that the administration and faculty be ac-commodating with certain special circum-stances that student veterans may have, and I believe that FSU does everything in its power to do so while also being fair to the rest of its student body.

He added, In regards to the Veterans Association, we are a group of student vet-erans and civilian student supporters. Our mission statement reads:

The purpose of the Framingham State University Veterans Association is to bring all former and current military students together for academic and moral support, community involvement, and a compan-ionship all military members share. The as-sociation is also open to students who may have an interest in a career in the military, students with family members in the mili-tary, or any student who has an interest in VXSSRUWLQJWKHPHQDQGZRPHQZKRJKWfor their freedom.

The association has shown veteran-themed movies, conducted mock boot camps, Veterans day events, attended student veteran conferences and generally supports any student veteran by having in-formation available to them in regards to the transition to college life.

A personal experience that I can use to illustrate FSUs commitment to the student veteran community would be an activation that I was ordered to during a time of state emergency. The state had gone through VRPH WHUULEOHRRGLQJ LQVRPHFRPPXQL-

ties, and my unit and I were called out to assist for about a week. The issue for me was that it just so happened to be the week of midterms. Despite missing all of my tests and papers, all my professors were extremely understanding and afforded me extra time to complete these assignments. In other words, I was not penalized one bit for my military service even though noth-ing says they had to grant me the extra time.

Students shared what receiving this honor means to them.

Zoe Moore, a sophomore, said, Its im-portant that all veterans have the opportu-nity to go to school and receive credit or scholarships that they deserve. Im glad that our school has done a great job of pro-viding those things to the student veterans here.

Chris Thompson, a senior, said, Its impressive that our school has been recog-nized for the help it provides for student veterans. Its good to know we are in the top 20 percent and that we offer great ser-vices to everyone.

Katy Dreher, a junior, said, I know student veterans that go to school here and WKH VHUYLFHV WKH\ UHFHLYHDUHEHQHFLDO WRtheir education. I know that they think FSU does a great job to accommodating to their needs.

Siobhan Curran, a junior, said, It is fan-tastic that Framingham State was chosen as a military friendly school out of more than 8,000 other state and community schools.

Molly McKinnon, a sophomore, said, For being a smaller state school, I think this is a great honor for Framingham State and for students - whether or not they are directly connected to the military.

Connected with that development will be the relocation of students from OConnor Hall to North Hall and future residential housing options.

Dembowski presented three options for housing, all of which he projects would pro-vide a total of 348 beds.

7KHUVWRSWLRQLVDUHVLGHQWLDOEDURUlong residential building, located on Adams Road along the Maynard lot. The second is a similar building along Maynard Road, and the third, a tower on Maynard Road.

Both the Adams Road bar and the May-nard tower are designed to have a space which would be more accessible to the pub-lic, which, Dembowski said, could possi-bly serve as satellite dining, or a community or study room.

A related project is the possible construc-tion of a Maynard Road parking garage.

Administrators also discussed future changes which are in the works. These will include the renovation and enlargement of Hemenway Hall and the construction of a new science laboratory. This, combined with the relocation of the Planetarium to OConnor Hall, is known as the Science Project, which was also authorized by the Higher Education Bond Bill.

That relocation will become an integral component of the teaching program located in OConnor, said Dembowski.

He said there will also be an expansion of the quadrant - extending the view of it

from State Street connected to the pedes-trian spine that moves west-east across the campus.

Expansion of the McCarthy Center was also discussed, starting with overall dining seating, and the long-term expansion con-necting with a bridge structure to a new

building where Foster Hall is presently lo-cated, in order to consolidate a relocated bookstore, health services and other meet-ing spaces.

Other projects include upgrades to the athletic facilities in Dwight Hall and the 0DSOHDQG%RZGLWFKHOGV
