With approvals from the planning boards in hand, construction crews have hit each campus to begin building the new residence halls. On the Metropolitan Campus for Professional and International Studies, the construction began this summer with the preparation of the site in the North Parking Lot and the installation of several test pilings. Meanwhile, at the College at Florham, ground was broken last month. Both residence halls are expected to be completed in 2003.
In addition, other major projects include the imminent completion of a new fitness center on the Metropolitan Campus and a major renovation and expansion of the Student Center at the College at Florham including a $1-million renovation of the student dining hall funded by Gourmet Dining. This portion of the Student Center renovation was completed on August 15.
Metropolitan Campus Residence
The addition of a 300-bed residence hall on the campus will go a long way toward fulfilling demand for the already over-utilized residence halls on the campus and provide appealing new accommodations to attract and retain students. The $18.9-million facility will be an 85,000-square-foot, four-story, chevron-shaped structure creating a new quad with a park-like setting. Each roomy unit will have two beds, one bathroom and microwave/refrigerator capability. On each floor there will be a lounge, a laundry room and a vending area.
Interim Metropolitan Campus Provost Richard Bronson notes that over the last two years, the demand for housing has exceeded the occupancy level (the campus has 740 beds). To handle the overflow, the campus has been forced to rent hotel beds and has prohibited students who live within 25 miles from residing on campus. The lack of housing also has restricted FDU from recruiting heavily outside the local community.
In addition, the new fitness center in Teaneck, which incorporates the campus's original gymnasium is nearing completion and is expected to open in October. Not only will the facility host basketball/volleyball courts, weight training rooms and an aerobics and dance studio with mirrored walls, but it will also have a spacious commuter lounge, including computer ports located conveniently close to the North Parking Lot.
The impact of the residence hall and fitness center will be felt immediately. Bronson says, "Not only will these facilities provide a better environment for our current students, but they will help us attract new students."
College at Florham Residence
Like the Metropolitan Campus, the College at Florham is having difficulty accommodating all the students who want to reside on campus. The 312-bed Park Avenue Residence Hall, opened in 1999, and the other residence halls are filled to capacity this year. At times, the University has had to convert common areas to bedrooms and fill double rooms with triple occupancy. "We couldn't continue to do this without lowering the student quality of life in the residence halls," Interim College at Florham Provost Kenneth Greene says. "If we have additional growth, which we expect, we need to have a new facility."
The $17.2-million, L-shaped, 85,000-square-foot, four-story building will be located near the Twombly halls. Its red-brick exterior will complement the Georgian-style design of the other campus buildings, and a separate parking lot will be created to accommodate the residents.
Each two-person room in the new residence hall will mirror those of the Metropolitan Campus facility. "The 300 beds added with this residence hall will allow our residential population to continue to grow," Greene says. With the new building, the campus will have the capacity to house more than 1,550 students.
He adds that about 65 percent of full-time students live on campus, and the University wants to increase that percentage.
Besides the residence hall, a major renovation and addition to the Student Center is progressing. Already the dining hall has been completely refurbished and now includes a brick-oven pizza and rotisserie chicken stations among its new multi-station serving facility. The building will be expanded by 14,000 square feet, and a new facade will more closely echo the design of the campus's other Georgian-style buildings. Student organizations will have expanded facilities for activities and the college store will be expanded. Construction will continue in stages to minimize the disturbance to the center's users, with the bulk of the job expected to be complete in spring 2003.
"What we're doing now is a continuation of recent efforts to make our students more comfortable and provide them with many reasons to stay on campus over the weekend," says Greene.
Fairleigh Dickinson University and Intercollege of Cyprus have signed an agreement for an educational partnership that allows students from Intercollege to complete their bachelor's and master's degrees at Fairleigh Dickinson.
Situated at the crossroads of three continents, Intercollege emphasizes intercultural learning and has an international mission. Founded in 1980, it is the largest and fastest growing college in Cyprus. With three campuses in Cyprus and a strong commitment to a diverse international student body, distributed learning and global education, Intercollege's mission is compatible with that of Fairleigh Dickinson.
Under the new agreement, students of Intercollege are able to spend their first two or three years of study at their home institution and then complete their bachelor's degrees at FDU with one or two additional years of study. Eligible students can enroll in a combined bachelor's/master's degree program at Fairleigh Dickinson, where they would spend three or four years at Intercollege and one-and-one-half to three years at FDU. In addition, students who successfully complete their bachelor's degree at Intercollege will be able to enter appropriate graduate degree programs at the University.
Fairleigh Dickinson has reviewed and approved existing programs at Intercollege so that specific courses taken there are transferable to FDU. The programs available to students from Cyprus include 32 distinct areas of study in psychology, learning disabilities, public administration, international studies, communications, electrical engineering, engineering technology, computer science, management information systems, information technology, biology, chemistry and biochemistry.
In addition, specific concentrations are available, including new concentrations in forensic psychology, health administration, European or Middle East affairs, Web casting and design, and multimedia applications and technology.
Students coming to FDU with a cumulative grade point ratio of 3.00 or better will be eligible for a Fairleigh Dickinson University-Intercollege Scholarship, which will remain in effect as long as the student maintains a grade point ratio of 3.00 or better in their studies at FDU. Under the agreement, several students from Intercollege are attending the Metropolitan Campus this fall.
Christopher Capuano, director, psychology (Metro), was instrumental in forging the agreement. He said, "The partnership will eventually permit Fairleigh Dickinson students to travel to Cyprus to complete a cultural immersion experience while studying at Intercollege. In addition, it is anticipated that Fairleigh Dickinson University faculty will eventually teach at Intercollege, and that Intercollege faculty will become involved with our Global Virtual Faculty program."
The formal signing of the agreement took place at the main campus of Intercollege in Nicosia, Cyprus. Fairleigh Dickinson was represented by Executive Vice President Carl Viola and Capuano. Executive Dean Nicos Peristianis and Dean of Enrollment Management Gregory Makrides represented Intercollege.
President J. Michael Adams is convening institutional leaders to set the priorities for the development and implementation of a University Outcomes Assessment Plan. Although assessment efforts are under way in a number of units within the University, they need to be identified, coordinated and enhanced in order to assure that Fairleigh Dickinson University meets the expectations of its regional accrediting association, the Middle States Commission on Higher Education.
Following its last self-study and site visit in 1996, FDU was reaccredited for the maximum 10 years. In June 2001, following submission of its Periodic Review Report, the University's accreditation was reaffirmed. The next self-study will be submitted to the commission and a site visit will take place during the 20052006 academic year. At that time, the University will need to meet a new set of expectations approved by the commission, effective this academic year.
The University will be expected to have an institutional assessment plan and will need to demonstrate that assessment is taking place and that results are being applied to enhance student learning, student services and other operations within the University. "Fairleigh Dickinson University has made significant progress on many fronts since our site visit," said Adams. "The time to prepare for our next self-study and visit is now, and assessment needs to be our focus."
Additional information concerning the new Middle States Commission on Higher Education's expectations and the University's planning and implementation of outcomes assessment will be shared with the University community when it becomes available.
This fall, Fairleigh Dickinson University began its second phase of distance-learning required courses. Last year, the University initiated the groundbreaking program in which all undergraduate students take one distance-learning course per 32 credits with the freshman Core course The Global Challenge. In September, new courses were introduced in each college for sophomores. The courses include:
Environmental Biology, Introduction to Psychology, and Nobel Literature (Maxwell Becton College of Arts and Sciences);
Macroeconomics (Silberman College of Business Administration);
Introduction to Computers, Career Women in Literature and Film, and Macroeconomics (New College of General and Continuing Studies); and
The Life of the Mind (University College: Arts Sciences Professional Studies).
"This program is truly distinguishing our University and continues to garner acclaim from colleagues, the media and the public," says President J. Michael Adams.
Perhaps the most innovative part of the distance-learning initiative is the introduction of Global Virtual Faculty (GVF) world-class scholars, professionals and experts from around the globe. Thus far, approximately 35 GVF members have partnered with on-site faculty in the teaching of online courses.
Among those participating are a former head homicide investigator for Scotland Yard, a senior journalist from India, a historian from the Caribbean, an Arabic language and literature instructor from Egypt and an economist from Australia.
Over the next four to five years, Fairleigh Dickinson will expand the online course offerings to 80 to 90 courses, some common to all students, some specific to a discipline. The program has been supported by a $3.9-million grant-in-aid from the state of New Jersey, a $100,000 grant from the AT&T Foundation and a $50,000 grant from the Pharmacia Foundation.
"We greatly appreciate this support and the endorsement of our efforts," said Michael Sperling, associate provost for interdisciplinary, distributed and global learning. "These grants help us to continue the momentum and provide more extensive online options."
The University is devoting significant resources to the program in such areas as instructional design, upgrading the digital infrastructure, course management software and technical support personnel. "By improving the University's digital infrastructure and enhancing our technological and pedagogical capabilities, these resources are simultaneously benefiting other areas as well as supporting our distance-learning requirement," Sperling adds.
The University will welcome this semester four U.N. dignitaries who will lecture on campus as part of the United Nations Pathway Lecture Series.

"The Secret Life of Writers," the summer issue of The Literary Review (TLR), features essays by 22 writers from around the world, including Norway, France, Italy, Slovenia, Denmark and the United States. Their subjects range from the ironies of combining careers with literary creativity to the complexities of love and marriage, the sufferings of alcoholism and sexual abuse and the struggles of existing as a writer in alien and hostile societies.
For example, Megan Sexton, a poet and literary magazine editor, also performs as a drummer in a rock group. Poet and novelist Bino Realuyo illustrates his anecdotes of working days in a cubicle with a series of cartoons. Attorney Janet McDonald, now living in Paris, reveals her former firm's troubled reaction to the publication of her memoir, Project Girl.
Poet Rigoberto Gonzαlez writes of a childhood in migrant worker poverty, novelist Duff Brenna of his mother's Alzheimer's disease, story writer and novelist Lauren B. Davis of her confrontation with drinking and writer Richard Hoffman of childhood sexual abuse.
The loves and marriages of writers are addressed in an interview with Richard and Charlee Wilbur by Jeffrey Cramer, Minna Proctor's translation of the letters of Sibilla Aleramo and Dino Campana, Linda Lappin's rendering of the tortured life of Modligliani's wife Jeanne Hθbuterne, and Thomas Kennedy's commentary on the relationship of Kierkegaard and Regine Olsen.
From a broader political perspective, Susan Schwartz Senstad tells what she learned about the sufferings of Bosnia when writing her acclaimed novel, Music for the Third Ear. Ales Debeljak writes about his own conflicts as a poet and intellectual during the years of turmoil in the Balkans. Adam Sorkin, a well-known translator of Romanian poetry, reports on the oppression of poets in the country under the Ceausescu dictatorship.
The issue's guest editors were Walter Cummins, TLR's editor emeritus, and Thomas Kennedy, a TLR advisory editor.
The spring issue of TLR, an homage to the art of translation, included poems by Geoffrey O'Brien and Robert Polito, a new essay from Mario Vargas Llosa's forthcoming book and Walter Cummins' essay on translating jazz into poetry, "Bird in Words."
The spring issue, " In Translation," includes translations from nine languages, but the editors also wanted it to address translation in the broader sense. Among the many pieces published here are a story by Lynne Tillman about the translation of cop speak, Jeffrey Allen translating a Pasolini film into poetry and Erica Baum's stunning visual translations of words into photographs. This was the first issue of The Literary Review with Renι Steinke, English (Flor), serving as editor-in-chief.
The spring issue was complimented in two major periodicals, The Times Literary Supplement, published in England, and Politiken, a major Danish newspaper.
Eleven boxes of back issues of The Literary Review were delivered to Thelma Tate in the Alexander Library at Rutgers University, New Brunswick, N.J. Tate is coordinator of global outreach services for the Rutgers University libraries in New Brunswick. According to a Gannett New Jersey article, "In recent years, Tate has guided efforts by the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions to devise mobile collections for far-flung locales where libraries don't exist and even schools lack books." In such a role, she has traveled to Kenya and Zimbabwe to deliver books and journals.
Her organization is presently dealing with Gambia, Uganda, Ghana and Nigeria; she has had requests for literature from Laos, Vietnam, Thailand and China. So far, the service has provided Kenya with 17,000 volumes of literature to help start 12 schools. In March, 2002, it delivered 80,000 volumes overall.
In the journal's efforts to aid Tate in her endeavors, 500 copies of back issues of TLR, which included writing from Vietnam, the Philippines, Wales, Portugal and Australia, were donated. In addition, one mixed box, approximately 40 titles, of FDU Press books were donated.
Tate will receive 20 or 25 copies of each new issue of The Literary Review through a complimentary subscription.

What is the best advice you ever received and from whom?
Interestingly enough, today in one of my General Psychology courses, we were having a discussion about "love" and one of my students, Harold Nino, stated that, "when in a relationship, each person should remain quiet and be open to receiving love from his/her mate in whatever manner he/she is able to give love instead of expecting things that might be out of the realm of that person's capacity." I was quite impressed by that statement.
