SET vandalism affects more than students
Delaware Community College and Northern Junior Christian College. Waller also has extensive experience in writing center, having been an integral part of Widener’s writing center for several years.
“I love writing and teaching, but honestly I love working oneon-one with people,” Waller said. She enjoys seeing the progress people make with their words, “It’s like detective work. You find out new things and see how people write.”

Even though she has been here a short time, Waller has come in contact with numerous rewards but is quite disappointed at the fact that not many people know about the writing center. ‘The center exists for all writers,” Waller said. “The people who do take advantage of the center’s facilities are mainly freshmen and even then the attendance is sporadic. The center needs more upperclassmen.”
“I would like to invite all the members of the Cabrini community to take advantage of the resources that is there for them,” Waller said. People can stop in anytime they are having trouble, or just have a terrible case of writers block. The writing center is there for that very purpose and Waller and her team are more than willing to help.
SETBuilding, page 1 than that,” Fuller-Espie said.
The first person to notice the damage was a contractor. The construction company is covered by a builder's risk insurance policy. Until the building is handed over to the college the company is responsible for any damage.
The damage not only disturbed the college but also the construction crew. Re-doing the work has affected the rest of construction because it is essential to make sure that the work is done in order. The construction crew is now forced to repeat work that they had already completed. “It has a domino effect… someone was on their hands and knees doing that work,” Fuller-Espie said about how the destruction pushed back the progress and frustrated crew members.
Many are asking the question as to why public safety didn't notice any strange activity on the night of the vandalism. Director of public safety Charles Schaffner said, “Public safety officers have not been responsible for rounds inside the building as the building technically still belongs to the contractor and we do not have keys to it yet.” Schaffner went on to say that public safety officers do patrol the outside of the building to make sure nothing out of the ordinary is taking place.
The SETincident went beyond the realm of public safety and into the hands of the Radnor Police. The college is prepared to prosecute those responsible for the damage to the fullest extent allowed. “We are looking at all possibilities, Cabrini students, Eastern students, Valley Forge Military Academy students and people who came from off-campus,” Schaffner said.
Even though the damage was disheartening, FullerEspie doesn't believe that it will make a huge set back. She estimated that the project will more than likely only be pushed back a week or two. She decided to look at the unfortunate event in a more positive way, “We are blessed in a way because we are not planning to occupy the building in January,” Fuller-Espie said.
Fuller-Espie urged for any students who may know any information concerning who is responsible for the vandalism to come forward. “This nonsense has to stop,” FullerEspie said. Iadarola announced a $1,000 reward.
