Whitaker School of Engineering which is located in Holmes Hall. Holmes Hall opened in January 2009 and was specifically designed for student-centered teaching of engineering and computing courses in an active and collaborative learning environment. The building includes a student lounge with club rooms, study areas, and the Link coffee bar where students can gather. Our outstanding faculty includes recipients of research, service, and teaching awards from FGCU as well as regional and national awards for excellence in teaching. In fall 2011, we will begin offering the B.S. in Software Engineering as we phase out the B.S. in Computer Science. Our three existing engineering Bachelor degree programs (bioengineering, civil engineering, and environmental engineering) are now accredited by ABET, Inc. We will apply for accreditation of the B.S. in Software Engineering in 2015 after the first software engineering students graduate. The employment outlook for our degree programs is among the best with 72 percent grown projected employment anticipated in bioengineering (also called biomedical engineering), 31 percent in environmental engineering, and 24 percent in civil engineering and 295,000 new jobs in software engineering between 2008 and 2018 (www. bls.gov/oco). We welcome you to the exciting worlds of engineering and computing! Dr. Susan M. Blanchard Dean, U.A Whitaker School of Engineering

Last semester, FGCU received funding for a museum studies major. and the Board of Trustees approved the journalism major. FGCU and the Holocaust Museum and Education Center of SWFL have successfully worked on projects over the past few years and believe this new museum studies program will be a great opportunity to form a mutually beneficial and formal partnership. The university also received a gift of $60,000 from Charles Dauray and the College of Life Foundation, which will help the program get on its feet. The program will be an interdisciplinary studies

program, incorporating areas such as anthropology, science and economics. The minor will be implemented first and is expected to start fall 2012. A major will be offered in fall 2013 at the earliest, according to President Wilson Bradshaw. John Cox, assistant professor of history and director of FGCU’s Center for Judaic, Holocaust, and Human Rights Studies, is honored the Holocaust Museum is the “ground floor” of this new program. “Naturally, the Holocaust will not be the principal focus of Museum Studies at FGCU — it will encompass training in a wide variety of topics and disciplines — but it is gratifying that this new program helps to consolidate our partnership with the

local Holocaust museum, which is such a wonderful institution,” Cox said. Just a few days later, a unanimous vote sealed the journalism major. Students will be able to take classes toward the major in fall 2011. “I think the university has wanted to give students the journalism major, but it had to set priorities when state budgets got cut,” said Lyn Millner, head of the journalism department. “Now they’re just able to act on it.” Like many other institutions, FGCU fell victim to the declining economy and had to put the journalism major on hold, said Donna Henry, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. But in the meantime, they instituted a journalism minor. “Now the university has

FGCU offers: More than 50 UG majors 36 UG minors sufficient funds and we’re able to get the technology and hire the faculty we need,” Henry said. “We’re in good shape to get the major up and running once (it was) approved at the Board of Trustees meeting.” Millner thinks the journalism major at FGCU really stands out among other universities in the state of Florida because of its multimedia focus. “Journalism is no longer about print publications in newspapers and magazines,” Henry said. “It’s about web and video.”

Dining Services has announced that major renovations will be made to the Perch over the summer, with the debut of new dining options such as Chick-fil-A and Blu Sushi as part of the new food court. According to Kenneth Moses, accountant for business operations, one of the major goals of the Perch renovation is to give it a foodcourt feel similar to the Eagle Café in Howard Hall, which houses Taco Bell and Subway.

“Once spring semester ends, construction will begin,” Moses said. The changes will be completed before the start of fall semester. One part of the new Perch layout will be called “The Home Zone,” a small station in the food court that will be similar to the Perch in a much more condensed form. The “Zone” will feature basic homestyle meals, as well as pizza by the slice, burgers, fries and other items, including breakfast options. Students will no longer have to pay in advance to enter the Perch, which will make all seating available to the public.

FOOTBALL

9`^ ^Xd\ kXcb \e[j 9p 8cc`jfe >X^c`Xi[` <[`kfi$`e$:_`\] FGCU’s leader says football will have to wait. President Wilson Bradshaw shared the numbers and facts presented in the football feasibility study that was completed Nov. 30 by Carr Sports Associates Inc. at the Board of Trustees meeting April 19. The plan outlines what needs to be done for an FGCU football team to be competitive at the NCAA Division I level. “I have decided that at this time we will not move forward with football,” Bradshaw said. To implement football at the university would require recruiting coaches, meeting conference guidelines, adding women sports to remain in compliance with the Title X, acquiring land, and building stadiums and facilities. “We need to provide additional resources to be competitive,” Bradshaw said. Seventy-eight percent of the athletics department is funded though student athletic fees, which are among the highest in the state at $11.79 per credit hour. “We cannot add more dollars to that fee,” Bradshaw said. Bradshaw suggested that when student enrollment reaches almost 20,000 students it may be wise to reevaluate options. Until then, FGCU will remain “undefeated.” This article was originally printed April 19.

Parking strategy 9p BXk`\ <^Xe J\e`fi jkX]] ni`k\i Starting college is exciting, but it can also be nerve-wracking and parking doesn’t ease the tension. There are seven parking lots and three parking garages in FGCU’s academic core. A fourth parking garage and Lot 2 north (near Lutgert) are expected to open in January 2012. Nancy Rispoli, parking services manager, says Parking Garage 3 and Lot 2 north fill up the fastest. Lot 2 north will not be available this fall due to construction of PG 4. “But we do continue to advise students to utilize Parking Garage 2 and Lot 7 (next to the Music Modular and the Arts Complex).”

PG3, located between lot 7 and the Student Union, fills up quickly. Chances of finding a space there after noon are slim, but it is ideal for early morning classes. Lot 2, although reduced in size due to the construction of Academic Building 8, normally clears out by 5 or 6 p.m. and is better for evening classes. Lot 6, next to lot 5 behind Sugden Hall and the Student Union, is usually a safe bet for parking. However, it is a gravel parking lot, so parking here runs the risk of getting your car dirty. While freshmen navigate the world of FGCU parking, they should be aware of the rules and regulations put in place by FGCU to ensure safe driving. “Most importantly, all vehicles (commuter and residential) must be registered with an up-to-date parking pass,” said, Chief Steven Moore, director of public safety. The top parking citation issued between July 1, 2010, and April 12 was for not displaying having a decal/

permit displayed. The other top citations issued last year include student parking in faculty/staff lots, visitor space violation, parking in a no-parking area, having an expired permit/decal, resident parking on main campus, illegal parking, parking in a restricted/reserved space and failure to register vehicle. “Students are never

visitors and must never park in a visitor space,” Chief Moore said. Parking in restricted lots before 5 p.m., parking on grass (students must be parked in an actual parking spot) and parking in North Lake or South Village when visitors are not allowed will result in a parking ticket, according to Chief Moore.

“All lots become general after 5 p.m.,” Chief Moore said. “But students must park in student lots/garages until 5 p.m., and housing residents cannot park in the academic core until after 5 p.m. Monday through Thursday.” Housing students are allowed to park on campus on Fridays.

ABOUT US: Eagle News, founded in 1997, is the student newspaper at Florida Gulf Coast University. The newspaper is the only student produced publication on campus and is entirely student run. Eagle News is published weekly during the fall and spring semesters and monthly in the summer, with the exception of holiday breaks and examination periods. The print edition is free to students and can be found on campus and in the community at Gulf Coast Town Center, Germain Arena and Miromar Outlets.

All of the exterior doors will be unlocked, allowing students to enter freely, or to sit and eat at the outdoor tables. “This will be a better use of space,” Moses said. All of the changes are coming in response to requests from students and Student Government. “This will address the need we’ve been hearing over the years,” said Loren Prive, director of business operations. Prive also added that the changes to the Perch will compliment the expansion of the Student Union currently under way, and will make it more of a gathering place for students. “It’s going to be nice,” Prive said. Kim Diaz, former SG president, played a key role in surveying students about the new dining options. According to Diaz, Burger King, Pizza Hut were close contenders.

“Unfortunately, those were not the ones that were very open to it,” Diaz said. Not all students are happy with the decision. Rashad Davis, SG director of multicultural relations, has been working against bringing a Chick-fil-A on campus because of the chain’s affiliations with organizations that do not support gay rights. “My opinion of Chick-fil-A is that they should be held accountable for their actions,” said Davis, who has been recognized nationally for his efforts to keep the chicken eatery off campus. There’s a precedent to Davis’ campaign at FGCU. Students at Indiana UniversitySouth Bend recently petitioned against Chick-fil-A as a weekly food vendor, and were successful in their mission. Davis is encouraging students to think about what they are supporting. “We have the right to choose where our money is going. Giving money to an organization that supports anti-gay networks and isn’t environmentally conscious is the wrong thing to do. And the more we pay them,

the bigger they grow,” Davis told Eagle News in an interview last semester. According to Diaz, the plans for the new additions are pretty set in stone. “It is important for students to say what they believe in, but from what I have experienced the students are calling for it … and as always, majority wins,” Diaz said. “In all honestly, I don’t see this making an impact on campus.” Chick-fil-A was highly recommended by students, according to SG surveys. The university extended an invitation to the chain in response to those surveys. There are currently Chick-fil-A franchises on Alico Road and Tamiami Trail, near Coconut Point. Blu Sushi, meanwhile, approached the university about the opportunity to open on campus. According to Diaz, the Blu Sushi will be similar to the one in Gulf Coast Town Center, about a mile from campus. One main difference between the new “Home Zone” and the current Perch is that the “Zone” will not use dishes, but rather to-go type packaging

and containers, similar to most fast-food establishments. This way, students can take their food back to the dorms with them, or eat there in the food court without having to return dishes to be washed. Both Coke and Pepsi products will also be available from soda fountains, since the University has a contract with PepsiCo and Chick-fil-A has a contract with Coca-Cola. Moses and Prive also confirmed that the name “The Perch” will be phased out. They have not yet decided on a new name. This article was originally published Feb. 16 , 2011.

The Buckingham property, once used by the Florida Agency for Persons

with Disabilities, has 60, 1950s-style buildings, including a water tower, swimming pool, chapel, gymnasium and housing for 300 people. FGCU plans to expand by adding 10,000 more students in the next decade, according to Joe Shepard, former FGCU vice president of finance. FGCU’s main campus, which is 750 acres, has the

ability to accommodate 5,000 students. The Buckingham property is about 19 miles from the main campus. “The distance is manageable if there will be transportation provided between the main campus and the new property,� said Marissa Rudd, a senior majoring in biology. While there are plans to

build a course for the FGCU cross country team, which will also be accessible to the public, “there are no plans for a football team,� Shepard said. That’s disappointing news to some students, such as Rudd and Jorge Fundora, a freshman majoring in criminal justice, who said they would like to see plans for a football stadium.

“With the school planning to add 10,000 students in the next decade, why not use the 505-acre property to build a football stadium? Starting up a team would help expand our university’s athletic program into one of the elite programs in Florida,� Fundora said. Remodeling and building are under way and there is no set date for completion. FGCU has already started

remodeling work on a few buildings, and during the next 10 years will continue to work as the budget permits. “The budget for the expenses of the property is set as funds are available,� Shepard said. This article was originally published March 23 .

College Algebra (MAC 1105), Understanding Visual and Performing Arts (HUM 2510), Composition I (ENC 1101), Statistical Methods (STA 2023), and General Psychology (PSY 2012) were the most commonly failed courses by FGCU students in 2010. All but one, General Psychology, are required courses for any major at FGCU. Ashley English says Composition I and II were easy. But the sophomore, majoring in marketing, says biology was one of the hardest classes she took last year.

“Half of the students who sat at my table were taking the course for the second time around,� English said. Samantha Abello, a sophomore majoring in art with a focus in graphic design agress. “Biology kicked my butt,� Abello said. “I like it (graphic design) because it’s fun and laid back; it’s not a desk job,� Abello said. “I chose marketing because I like having a grip on the business side of things,� English said.

It’s what they call “The Freshman Fifteen� and it hits hard. With huge amounts of homework and demanding social schedules, one thing that can be easily forgotten is how to live a healthy lifestyle. Within the first couple months, or even weeks, upon arriving on campus, those extra pounds start showing. It’s sometimes difficult to carry over healthy eating habits your home base may have once instilled. “My freshman year came and it was really hard not to go out every evening,� said Stephanie Roewan, a sophomore majoring in biology.

“When I put on more weight than I had ever thought possible, I decided to spend more time at Publix, in the produce section, and less time at SoVi.� Eating healthier isn’t as hard as you think. A balanced meal is extremely important; include a protein and a vegetable in every meal. Throwing in more carbohydrates can be enticing, so eat a sweet potato or some wheat or whole grain toast to fulfill your cravings. If you’re an ice cream fanatic, try frozen yogurt. Many companies make delicious yogurt in flavors such as vanilla and chocolate. “I learned quickly portions are the key,� said Jordan Pearlman, a junior majoring in management. “I have my bad nights like Moe’s Mondays, and then there are always the weekends,� Pearlman said. “But other nights during the week, I budget my money

so I can make sure my body is getting what it needs.� Having an active lifestyle is a big factor in keeping the weight from creeping up. FGCU’s campus offers a gym with basketball courts, group fitness classes and machines for self-workouts. Going into a new gym can be intimidating, but there is free training for FGCU students and even equipment orientation. Megan Felt, a sophomore majoring in athletic training, said that before she came to FGCU she went to an all-women’s gym to avoid being uncomfortable. “I went with my roommate [at FGCU] and it was fine; everybody minded their own business, but if I had a question whoever I asked was helpful,� Felt said. If the gym isn’t the place for you, the aquatics center is a great place to swim laps. The pool is equipped with both

50-meter and 25-yard pool lengths for a nice swim. Swimming is a great way to get in shape because you’re working out your entire body. It is also easy on joints, which is great for students with past shoulder or knee injuries, for example. “I like to swim, personally,� Roewan said. “I had shoulder surgery a couple years back and it helps reduce the subtle spurts of pain I used to get, and I get a good tan.� “The Freshman Fifteen� can be controlled or avoided altogether. Watch what you eat and incorporate an active lifestyle into your busy weekly schedule. Following these healthy guidelines will prevent those extra pounds, keeping them at a far distance.

?\i\Ëj ^\e\iXc X[m`Z\ ]fi X e\n ZXdglj c`]\ 9p DXe[`\ IX`enXk\i JkX]] ni`k\i I was asked to dole out some words of advice for incoming freshmen and their parents to read and converse about, so here it goes. College is another world. A subculture more different than anything you experienced at high school. You may have been a big fish in that pond, but don’t expect to come here and rule. Frankly, I don’t think any one person rules this school, and I like it that way. Come in expecting to feel awkward, out of the loop and ready to make adjustments. You may find you have a roommate that is a bit unconventional, a professor who talks about their drug-infused college experiences and people expressing themselves openly. At that moment, while we want you to feel like you belong, until you open up to the idea that nothing is set in stone, you won’t belong. I am pretty sure you have talked about this fear with someone such as a friend or family member, but I hope you take this moment to talk to your parents about it. What insights can they provide? While no one wants to be labeled a “momma’s boy” or “daddy’s girl,” your parents will provide you a lot of emotional support this first semester and school year. College is stressful. Not just because of increased academic demands, but because of the out of place feeling that you might become overwhelmed by. Friendships will develop, eventually, but like everything else it takes time. I know. what a horrible statement in the age of instant gratification. Explore. Try all kinds of new things, the worst thing that could happen is you not like it and don’t do it again. Go to some club meetings and interact. Join a study group.

Talk, but think before you do. Keep in mind, you are still just a child. Some of the people in your classes may look like they can have a few (in my case a lot) more years worth of adult life experience on you and judgemental, ignorant opinions can leave you ostracized. I’m not saying keep your opinions to yourself, but don’t just open your mouth to change the foot that is inserted. Be safe. If you are going to indulge in the activities banned from your parents’ house because you find yourself unsupervised and living the good life, make a plan. Utilize designated driver systems, use protection, know how to protect yourself. The pull cords in your dorm room work; don’t tape them to the wall so you can’t use one if necessary. Find a reliable taxi service and program their number in your phone (see page D5). Make a note before you go out to let someone know where you are; you never know what can happen. If things start to feel like too much, step back and talk with someone you can trust. Again, your parents are instrumental. I guarantee you that no matter how much they want to see you succeed, a bad grade or a stupid impropriety won’t negate the fact that you are their child, and they love you. A momentary disappointment is much better than a lifetime of loss. You’re a smart cookie, or else you wouldn’t be here. Enjoy your new found freedom, use your noodle, and welcome to FGCU. See you in class. Mandie is a senior majoring in secondary education.

Andy Enfield, a former NBA assistant most recently an assistant at Florida State , is confident that his ability will help bring the men’s basketball team to the forefront of premier athletic programs in the Atlantic Sun Conference. On April 26, I had the opportunity to sit in on the taping of Naples News Editorial/Opinion Editor Jeff Lytle’s TV program, “Newsmakers.” During his interview of the new coach and Athletic Director Ken Kavanagh, many details concerning the future of the men’s basketball program were explained. Enfield maintains that he wants to, “Build a program, not a short-term fix.” Enfield recently signed 6-foot-2 point guard Brett Comer from Winter Park and 6-3 shooting guard Bernard Thompson from Conyers, Ga., to help lead the team next year. Poor attendance has plagued the men’s basketball team in the past and many of the team’s issues stem from their performance on the court. Enfield

believes that, “the first place to go is the Student Body and [we will] put a product of the floor they can get behind.” It is up to us, FGCU! If you want to see your men’s team perform better, you must come out to games. However, according to Kavanagh, reaching out to the community as a whole is just as important. Kavanagh stated that he hopes to “play at least one game a year at Germain Arena.” As many students and faculty know, the men’s baseball team usually plays at least one game at Fort Myers’ Hammond Stadium in order to help reach out to the community. Kavanagh also plans to host summer basketball camps at FGCU for the surrounding communities, with the expectations that these camps may assist the program in finding potential recruits in the future. When asked how he plans to improve team morale, Enfield responded that he has hired a “young, energetic staff” to help him guide the team in future seasons. “They need to feel like they have a relationship with the coaching staff.” With University of Miami already committing to play FGCU next year, the men’s team certainly has a bright future with Enfield at the helm.

The best piece of advice I can offer for incoming freshman isn’t the tough stuff — not time management, avoiding roommate civil wars or hot spots on campus. Rather, I can nourish your mind with some tips on food. Specifically, meal plans. Take a slice of this information pie I have to offer. If you have a meal plan, you definitely won’t go hungry, until the weekend when the majority of restaurants close. The Fresh Food Company in South Village (commonly called Sovi) remains open until 10 p.m., though. If you live in North Lake, be aware that the shuttles do not run on the weekends. Two options for meal plans are the block 120 and block 75 plans. I had the block 75 for my first year and found out for myself just how much food that is to eat. In fact, I didn’t even use up all my swipes my first semester. Know that if you have the 75 block plan, you will have to eat at the swipe locations (Sovi and the location in Student Union Food Court) more regularly than you use the $200 dining dollars. The 120 plan seems like far too much unless you are really a stickler for Sovi-style food. Also offered are unlimited access plans in 5- and 7-day form with $100 dining dollars per semester. The 7 day plan claims each meal at a swipe location costs $3.89 (plus tax), however this is assuming you swipe around 425 times in a semester. The 5-day plan claims each meal costs $4.57 (plus tax) assuming 327 swipes a semester. Both

sound like a plateful. Additionally, make sure you cook the idea in your mind well enough before you pull it out of the oven — the unlimited plans means you’ll be eating a lot at Sovi and the location in the SU Food Court. While there is a lot of variation in the food you can eat (especially at Sovi), you might start to get tired of it every day. The meal plan I suggest sinking your teeth into is the 440 dining dollars plan. With this, you have $400 in dining credit a semester to spend at any food establishment your little heart desires. You also get $40 “bonus bucks” that kick in when the $400 has been used. This plan is especially tasty because it offers the most flexibility in where you want to eat. The swipe locations don’t cost too much more than when you pay via block plans. Plus, dining dollars can be “reloaded” at any time on the FGCU dining website. If your stomach feels empty after your first year at FGCU and you decide that one of the block or unlimited plans is worth it, then you can easily place your order for the next school year. But as a victim of almost too much food, I would suggest a more conservative meal plan experimentation in your first year. Andrew is a sophomore majoring in psychology.

Survival tips for freshmen 9p :_\cj\X J\\c\p JkX]] ni`k\i

Learning has become an important part of life for us freshmen, in and outside of the classroom. We have had to figure out when to get to the shuttle, which professors are the ones who we will learn the most from, and how to deal with the pressures around us. Sometimes these pressures tell us to get involved in things we may not want to do. We have had to learn the hard way that our friends aren’t always what they seem, and find out that trust is not something you can give away. For me, it was a first semester full of hits and misses, but learning from all of those experience is what defines the next semester survival. Walking may be a better choice than taking the bus. From South Village there is a short cut that leads you directly behind Whitaker Hall. It is not a bad walk, either, especially on cooler days. Walking from North Lake to campus is a little more tiring, but any exercise is good. You get the chance to look at what is around you instead of looking through a bus window. I find that riding your bike that way is a good option also. It cleared my head as I rode to class and listened to a variety of songs on my iPod. It was a nice change from riding a bus on which people push and shove just to get a seat. Friends are easily made in high school, but finding best friends in college and maintaining them is a little bit harder. The friends you think you have will sometimes say and do silly stuff that make you wonder why you ever appreciated them. It is better to surround yourself with people who make you a better person and with whom you share positive energy with. Those are the friendships that will last. Being able to laugh at the random

things as you sit outside the library, looking over the lake and talking about your classes and your future plans for the weekend are things you should be talking about with your new found friends, not gossiping about other peoples’ lives. After all, what does that say about your friendship if that’s all you talk about? Pressure was enormous my first semester. I can imagine how many freshmen who have yet to become accustomed to it feel as if their heads are going to explode because they are trying to keep up without over working themselves. There is also the pressure to drink and do drugs to relieve the stress of school work. This is where my head starts to feel on the verge of explosion: Why add more pressure to our already crazy lives? Do what you feel is right, but be careful if you choose to give in. Also, if someone pushes you to the extreme with their habits, do NOT be afraid to speak up, no matter what the person says to you. It is never a bad thing to speak your mind and prevent a situation from going to extremes. As summer evolves and the fall semester approaches, think about what you have really learned. Sit in a quiet area, and think about what you want to bring with you to the next semester. What will you want to do over? What would you do again if you could? Taking a lesson from the first semester is going to help in the long run. It will be advice given to the next group of first-time college students. It is basic freshman survival 101.

The newly formed rugby club looks to fill that void. “Our goal that we always talk about is having the whole campus coming out to our games on Saturdays just like schools go to the football games,� said Shane Young, the team’s captain and junior political science major, “We want to be the talk of the school and know that once people see a

game they are going to want to come back to see another.� Young, as well as several other members of the club, have been spending the past month recruiting for the upcoming semester by handing out fliers, tabling on campus and throwing the rugby ball around on the library lawn. They have managed to recruit 25 to 30 students for the fall. Young, as well as eight other FGCU students including secretary Anthony Adum, a senior business management major, plays for the Naples Hammerheads, the Naples rugby club. Although they

are leaving the Hammerheads in the fall to focus on the school team, Young, Adum and the FGCU rugby club will practice with them and hold scrimmages against the Naples team. Young has been playing rugby for the past 12 years and Adum just recently picked up the sport this year. Both say they prefer rugby over football. “You can play rugby all your life,� Young said. Even though the team will have several players coming from other club teams, no experience is necessary to join the FGCU club. “The most important thing

to learn about rugby is the rules,� said Adum, “Experience is what teaches you the most.� According to Young, this is a great time to pick up the sport of rugby since the Rugby World Cup that only happens once every four years will be aired on NBC in September, making it easy to watch and learn the game. “Rugby is not just about playing a sport. There is the camaraderie that you build with your teammates. The relationships you make through this sport will last a lifetime. You can rely on fellow ruggers to be there in times

of need, regardless if it is in a game or in a real life situation. FGCU was the last university in Florida without a rugby team. With most of its members currently freshmen and sophomores, the FGCU rugby team expects to grow quickly and become known in Florida as one of the top college teams. “We look forward to FGCU rugby becoming the premier attraction for students on Saturday game days,� said Adum.
