Getting involved has benefits lsobota@pantagraph.com
NORMAL — Getting involved in activities outside of the classroom — from clubs to volunteer projects — can help a student succeed inside the classroom, university leaders say. Illinois State University Dean of Students Jan Paterson said there are several reasons. “One of the reasons is the opportunity to balance their lives,” she said, as well as having a “relief valve” from academic pressures. Such involvement also results in more interaction with faculty, staff and fellow students, which
provides students with resources and people to approach with questions and concerns, Paterson said. With nearly 350 registered student organizations from A to Z — A Trend to Follow service club to Zeta Tau Alpha sorority — there is a lot to choose from. Steve Klay, coordinator of ISU’s Student Involvement Center, explained the organizations can identify themselves by category, such as social, religious, recreational, service, educational or fraternities/sororities. Students can search the university’s website, based on their interests, or they can attend Festival ISU on Aug. 29, when groups set up tables on the university Quad. SEE INVOLVED / PAGE 5

Klay and Paterson described the event as a good way to learn about the organizations, what they do, how often they meet or have activities, whether they charge dues and other information. “It’s sort of a one-stop shopping situation,� Klay said of Festival ISU. The university also provides a number of opportunities to volunteer and gain leadership skills, said Erin Thomas, chief of leadership and service. The office coordinates five large service projects each year during which students can volunteer for a few hours. The office also has lists of places seeking longer term volunteers, such as schools, hospitals, community centers or animal shelters. Thomas said involvement in campus activities, leadership training and student organizations “provides the soft skills that are crucial for success.� Paterson recommends joining two organizations in the first year: one that’s academic or career-oriented and one that is “just for fun� or deals with a personal passion. “College is generally looked at as a time of exploration,� Klay said. “Don’t walk away without getting involved in something.� For students interested in a more formal approach to leadership and service, the university offers the ISU Leads leadership certificate program. Students can select one of three pillars —leadership, civic engagement and global perspectives — or all three. Thomas said her office also offers “leadershops� — one-hour leadership workshops on topics such as how to be an effective leader.
Paterson said, “As important as it is to get involved while on campus as students, what we’re really investing in is that they will be civically engaged the rest of their lives.� On the Net: http://deanofstudents.illinoisstate.edu/students/ get-involved

Students cross campus at Illinois State University.
New year holds excitement at ISU By Timothy J. Flanagan reetings. I want to welcome all of our new and continuing students to the 2013-2014 academic year at Illinois State University. The year promises to be an exciting time as we explore new academic, cultural, social and athletic frontiers together. This is my first year at Illinois State, and I am honored to serve as the university’s 18th president. As Illinois’ first public university, Illinois State holds a rich tradition of excellence in teaching, research and service. It’s easy to see why this institution is recognized as a Timothy national leader in higher educaFlanagan tion. A bit about myself: I come to Illinois State after serving as president of Framingham State University, near Boston, since 2006. Along with other administrative posts, I have also taught in the classroom as a professor of sociology and criminal justice sciences. I earned a Ph.D.

We are moving into the University Residence, just up the street from Cardinal Court Apartments, about a week before you move into your residence halls, apartments and fraternity and sorority houses. I will be on campus during movein, so I will have the pleasure of greeting many of you. Nancy and I look forward to meeting as many students as possible over the next academic year. In addition to offering a busy summer class schedule, Illinois State has been preparing for your arrival. The Preview staff provided orientation for our new freshmen and their families and our Facilities group has been making improvements to our classrooms, living spaces and grounds. I know you will find this a welcoming campus environment. The university’s governing board, the Board of Trustees, selected me as Illinois State’s 18th SEE ISU / PAGE 7

president on May 10. Since then, I have had the opportunity to meet with many faculty and support staff members and student leaders. In just this short time, I have been impressed by the commitment of my new colleagues. It is readily apparent that student engagement, success and safety are their top priorities. They are prepared to deliver a first-class experience in the classroom and laboratory and through an array of cocurricular and extracurricular opportunities. I trust you are also prepared. A rigorous schedule of classes, participation in registered student organizations, social opportunities and perhaps even a part-time job makes time management an important part of your daily life. We are here to help you meet our mutual expectations. Your professors and a caring staff that offers a full spectrum of support services are fully invested in your success and well-being. I encourage you to ask questions and seek assistance when you need it. I also encourage you to take a few moments to read the university’s strategic plan, Educating Illinois.

TAKING A BREAK
Several options are available for students to relax and recharge BY PANTAGRAPH STAFF
NORMAL — For students looking to catch a break from the hustle and bustle of campus life, Illinois State University offers several year-round opportunities to, well, just relax. The Fell Arboretum, located on and around the Quad in the central part of campus, is a 490-acre site featuring more than 150 species of trees. It carries on the vision of ISU founder Jesse Fell to have a campus with every type of tree that would flourish in Central Illinois. The area is open to the public until nightfall. Nearby are the grounds of the Ewing Cultural Center and grounds at Towanda Avenue and Emerson Street in Bloomington. Every Monday through October, the Manor is open for public tours from 4 to 6 p.m. The hourlong, interpretive tours are led by volunteer docents who are

members of the Friends of the Manor. There is no charge, but contributions are accepted. Reservations are required for groups of eight or more. The Genevieve Green Gardens at Ewing are a place of serenity and retreat. Self-guided cellphone tours are also available year-round. More information is available at http://ewingmanor.illinoisstate.edu/. Also, the ISU Horticulture Center, located along Raab Road near Heartland Community College, is a focal point for horticulture instruction and ongoing research. The 12-acre site includes a restored prairie area and themed gardens featuring perennials, medicinal plants, shrubs, vegetables and sculpture installations. The public is welcome during daylight hours. The Horticulture Center also is adjacent to a section of the Constitution Trail and makes a perfect destination for walkers and bicyclists.

BILL FLICK
Welcome to two towns of many odd, fun facts o you’re moving all your stuff to Bloomington-Normal. Anybody can tell you State Farm Insurance is based here, that Abe Lincoln practiced law here, and that you’re joining lots of other collegiate types because of the presence of two major universities and Heartland College, one of the state’s largest junior colleges. But what’s fun to know is all the other little stuff about the community. Like: ◗ The picture postcard was invented here. ◗ At Evergreen Cemetery in Bloomington is the tombstone of Dorothy Gage, the girl who was the inspiration for Dorothy in L. Frank Baum’s “Wizard of Oz.” ◗ When last in town, famed actor Jack Nicholson stayed in Room 502 at the DoubleTree Hotel in east Bloomington. ◗ The guy who until recently sorted all the mail at the White House each day and passed on especially good notes to President Obama was Mike Kelleher, an Illinois State University grad and recent ISU instructor. ◗ That “black box” you always hear about after airline crashes was invented here — at an electronics plant along South Main Street, where the 8-track tape also was developed. (If you don’t know, back in the ’70s and ’80s, 8-tracks were how a lot of people listened to music). ◗ Stop into Bruce Springsteen’s office in Jersey City, N.J. and you’ll find it features a postersized photo of Springsteen posing next to a “Welcome To Normal” sign. (You may think being in a town called Normal is funny and so does just about every celebrity who comes here — in May, having just finished a concert at U.S. Cellular Coliseum in downtown Bloomington and on their way to Milwaukee, singer Carrie Underwood’s three-bus entourage unloaded at a “Welcome To Normal” sign at Raab and Main in Normal, for a quick photo-op.) ◗ Hollywood actor John Malkovich and just retired NBA basketball coach Doug Collins are two of ISU’s most famous alums, and coincidentally, grew up as neighbors in downstate Benton. ◗ The childhood home of M*A*S*H’s Col. Henry Blake? It would be 11 Norwood in Normal where actor McLean Stevenson was born. He then spent his childhood at 1311 N. Clinton Blvd. in Bloomington. ◗ One of the biggest news events of the past 20

Bill Flick years occurred in 1994, when Hall of Fame football player O.J. Simpson was accused of killing his wife, Nicole Simpson, and a friend of hers, Ron Goldman. Lesser-known is that Goldman went to ISU in 1986 and worked near ISU’s campus, at Avanti’s, still a really popular place to eat. ◗ The second wife of the State Farm founder was on the Titanic. ◗ The first Playboy Playmate to sign her centerfold was Jill deVries, a saleswoman in downtown Bloomington. It was in October 1975. She lived in nearby Downs. After she said in the magazine that she “loved to make love out in the hay in her barn,” according to a story in The Pantagraph (you’ll want to subscribe, of course), traffic increased tenfold as people began driving out to Downs. ◗ Ronald Reagan? He had his first college date with Margaret Cleaver, from Ottawa, at the Castle Theater in downtown Bloomington. (The Castle, by the way, is today a top music venue, so check that out, too.) Reagan graduated from nearby Eureka College. Finally, something to tell your folks as they try to find their way out of town and leave you on your own … If you go south on South Main in Normal and continue going south into Bloomington, it magically becomes North Main Street. Because B-N is two separate cities that grew into one, there can be a lot of confusion like that around here. Only here is where you’ll also find two Walnut Streets, two Oaks, two Maples, two Sycamores, two Locusts and two Lincolns. Can you imagine the confusion at the post offices? Study hard, kids. Be safe and have fun. Bill Flick is a Bloomington Pantagraph columnist at flick @pantagraph.com and on Facebook.
