1) Introductions
2) Update from the Dean
Normile
a. Clock update- Following my rejection of the vendor's formal
proposal to repair the clocks at our (considerable) expense, WSU's
Department of Facilities Planning & Management, in a letter dated
January 14, 2009, informed the vendor that it is no longer on
WSU's list of acceptable vendors and will be placed back on that
list only following repair of the clocks to our satisfaction at no cost
to us along with a two year warranty. If the company refuses, it can
no longer do business with WSU and the clocks will be repaired by
WSU at our expense. This is our final attempt to get the clocks
repaired at no cost to our College.
b. Monitor/Guard for Brady Entrance to Building: The current plan is
for a Brady guard to be present from 6:30am - 6:30pm. The two
guards required each day beginning Monday may not be our
"permanent" guards as Public Safety Director Holt is still
interviewing candidates, so we may have cadets or temporary
guards until the interviews are complete. Recall these guards will
be retired Police Officers. There's now a sign posted at the Brady
entrance stating that beginning Feb 2 a OneCard will be required
for access and visitors will need to sign in at the guard's desk. Any
new policies and procedures needed for this will be distributed at a
later date.
Also, the guards desk or table used Monday will be a temporary
station until FP+M works out the details of creating a permanent
station that will match the decor of the building and wired with our
security monitors and phone.
3) University Commencement
Moore
Student Speaker
The University Commencement has gone through a series of changes
over the past few years. A University Committee was developed and they have
come up with a two day Commencement schedule divide the Colleges among
several commencement ceremonies. The EACPHS will be having their University
Commencement on: Friday, May 8, 2009 - 3:00 p.m. The following colleges will be
participating in the same ceremony.





Library and Information Science
College of Nursing
Eugene Applebaum College of Pharmacy & Health Sciences
School of Social Work
School of Medicine (Ph.D./Master’s Degrees)
Each University ceremony will have a student speaker and as the oldest College
among those graduating with our College we have been asked to select the
student speaker for this year. The Executive Committee has charged DSAC with
nominating student speakers for the ceremony. It must be a graduating student in
the College and preferably someone who has been a part of DSAC. The
following students have been nominated:
Joshua Raub – PharmD
Brittany Brand – PharmD
Jason Laughlin – APA
Erin Spaniol – OT
Katie Selva – PAS
Kristen Finos – PT
Jennifer Moore will be emailing these students to see if they accept the
nomination and further selection will occur after reviewing the list of students who
have accepted the nomination.
4) Student Council Report
Nence
In the last months student counsel met with President Noreen and
discussed a few issues; one of them was the decrease in the enrollment
for 2008-2009.President Noreen explained this situation by loss of jobs
in our community and a lot of our students are working full time to pay
for their education. In addition to that as you all are aware there was
an extension on due date for the tuition for winter semester.
Safety in campus is a very important issue for the president and it
even of greater interest for students. WSU is considered one of the
safest campuses. There will be an increase in the number of blue lines
and also of cameras around campus.
There might be tentatives to switch all the parking structure systems
as the one we have here at the EACPHS where even if you have no money
you can get in and pay later.
School of Medicine Rep complained about their administration not to
listen to student requests.
SC Program board is working on Mad Anthony which is the biggest event
sponsored by SC. We are still finalizing on performers and a budget of
over $60,000 has been approved for it.
As you all know this is my last year of school and my SC term end on
April 30. I would suggest that you guys think about if you are
interested in the position and also let Jennifer know.
I want to congratulate all of you for making Apple days a success and
all the students who helped with immunizations campus wide. I received
great feedback.
Keep up the good work and feel free to contact me if you need anything.
Thank you
Zhaniela
