"Living here on campus at ESU has been a great experience for me. I had the choice to commute or live on campus and I chose to live on campus to get the full college experience and it worked out perfect. I have a great roommate. I’ve been able to meet new people. ESU has been able to provide many activities for me as well."

“I instantly fell in love with ESU’s campus after just one guided tour. There was no doubt it was the place for me. It was the right size – not too big. It was close to home. I even turned down a $25,000 scholarship at a more prestigious school because I wanted to come here.

Here are some tips for those of you just starting university life. 1. Only bring essentials with you. Walking up three flights of stairs one hundred times is no fun. 2. You will make new friends, so don’t worry about rooming with your best friend from high school. 3. Make friends with your neighbors. Chances are if you don’t have something you need, they will. 4. Don’t buy your books at the last minute, and look for them online. You can save a lot of money and aggravation."

�cademics

Whether or not you have decided on an academic field of study …. ESU can help. With 68 undergraduate degree programs to choose from and the help of your academic advisor, selecting a major will be less daunting than you may think. And with numerous minors, academic concentrations, study-abroad programs and hands-on, realworld opportunities to explore, you might just discover skills, interests and natural abilities you didn’t even know you had. Making the most of your higher education experience at ESU may mean choosing to go straight into the workforce with your bachelor’s degree or you may decide to go on to graduate school. ESU’s academic programming, faculty and resources provide the tools you’ll need to make that decision for yourself and only you can determine how to best achieve your goal(s). We take our mission of investing in the successful academic future of our students to heart. Our new Science and Technology Center (and many other recent student-centered academic initiatives and facilities) illustrate that commitment. The new center just opened in Fall 2008 and includes smart classrooms, a planetarium, an observatory and state-of-the-art technological facilities throughout. Seventy-eight percent of our 343 full- and part-time faculty members hold the highest degree possible in their academic fields, and they – not graduate assistants – teach their own classes. "There isn’t a single faculty member who doesn’t care about their students. … It's real easy to connect with these students because they all want to succeed,” says Dr. Jeffrey Weber, associate professor of political science. “Together the faculty and students work to really make a fulfilling educational experience.”

“The academic programs at ESU are pretty challenging. One of the things I think that separates us from most institutions is that many of our students really get hands-on experience outside of the lab and outside of the classroom. We have a variety of field experiences. In my own program of marine biology, we take the students to at least four classes to our marine science consortium at Wallops Island, Virginia. There the students will go out on ships, do surveys, do plankton tows and really get their feet literally wet.” Jim Hunt, professor of marine biology

Student Life Opportunities for involvement in student life activities are many and varied at ESU. From careeroriented clubs and special interest groups, to club sports and performing arts ensembles, there really is something for everyone. Students are often encouraged to start their own club or student organization, and you yourself might want to consider taking advantage of such an opportunity. ESU is in the heart of a beautiful national recreation area, known for year-round outdoor activities ranging from hiking and camping, to rafting and kayaking to snowsports. You don’t have to leave campus for recreation, though. Check out the following: our recently built state-of-the-art recreation center visited by over 1,500 students daily; Stony Acres, our student-owned nature preserve and outdoor adventure center not far from campus; and top-name entertainment and concerts that our student-run Campus Activity Board brings to ESU, such as the Real World/Road Rules reality TV stars, Black Eyed Peas, comedian,Jim Breuer, and OAR.

And then there are the following: • 28 career-oriented / academic clubs • 8 performing arts groups • 9 club sports • 19 special interest groups • 5 sororities • 4 fraternities • 24 honor societies in selected fields

“Over the past three years, I have served as an Orientation Leader, Spanish tutor, dance teacher, Resident Adviser, and most recently as a Student Ambassador. It is such a privilege to be able to take part in all of these activities. I have been able to grow as a young adult and have received many professional skills to take me far in life.” Venece Anderson, senior business management major, minoring in dance

“With ESU’s Disability Services, Act 101, and with the accommodations I got here, there was no way for me to fail.” Micah Ash, B.A. History ’06, M.A. History ’08

The Office of Disability Services provides accommodations and services to students with such documented learning or physical disabilities as attention–deficit/ hyperactivity disorder, chronic illnesses, mobility impairments, deaf or hard of hearing, blind or impaired vision, psychiatric disabilities, and traumatic brain injuries that result in a substantial limitation of a major life activity. Services for those in need are many and varied. Here are just a few: All you have to do is ask.

➜ Extended time on exams

Micah Ash is one who did ask. He now is in postgraduate work, working toward an Ed.D in educational leadership that will allow him to become a counselor and mentor for first-year college students, many of whom may suffer the very learning disability ESU helped him overcome and rise to the presidency of the Delta Alpha Pi Honor Society.

➜ Textbooks on tape

“I have slow processing,” Ash said. “In class, sometimes, I don’t understand the lectures, but I do understand visual things. The university is very supportive. I

➜ Special air conditioners installed in student dorm rooms

have never been on a campus where people support you so much and genuinely want you to succeed. With ESU’s Disability Services, Act 101, and with the accommodations I got here, there was no way for me to fail.”

At ESU, as at all universities, some students are technically considered disabled, whether it be a vision or hearing impairment, a physical handicap, a chronic illness or any of a host of legitimate challenges. Regardless of a student’s disability, the university always looks first and foremost at his or her abilities and capacity to learn.

If you have a documented disability, call the Office of Disability Services. Documentation is established by medical or other pertinent professional evaluation spelling out the impact of the disability as it relates to a student’s needs. Show us the drive and willingness to succeed and we’ll show you how to achieve your goals.

All a solid college education requires are an individual’s interest and intellectual curiosity about a given field of study, a passion for learning and willingness to work and grow. Every academically qualified ESU student always will have full access to any program, service, class or activity offered by this university.

“It was Dr. Edith Miller, my coordinator, my mentor, my counselor in Disability Services,” Ash said. “I went into her office one day. I strive to be the best, but sometimes you come up against a class that is difficult. I told her, ‘Dr. Miller, this class is tough. I think I’m going to fall back.” And she said, ‘Well, if you fall back, we’re going to catch you.” That always stuck with me. It just goes to show that they were there to support me, no matter what.”

Micah said his most precious memory of life on campus is of a day when he was near the edge of despair.

How does one justify doing unspeakable things? How do others live with the repercussions? An adaptation of Julius’ Lester’s award winning novel, Day of Tears, Sold is a fictional account of an historical event: The Weeping Time – the largest sale of human beings in America. Through the point of view of young and old slaves, the slave owner and his young daughters and the auctioneer, but especially through the eyes of the 12-year old slave girl Emma, we witness the intelligence and humanity of the slaves in the face of this ugliest of events as it unfolds in 1857 in the town of Savannah, Georgia.

A CHRISTMAS CAROL Mavor Moore incidental music by Stephen Woodjets from the story by Charles Dickens directed by Margaret Joyce Ball scenic and costume design by Yoshinori Tanokura book, music and lyrics by

This imaginative musical version of the Charles Dickens’s literary classic is a jewel box of a show, “an elaborate joy of tunefulness, color and imagination,” according to one review. Another review noted, "A Christmas Carol is a treat …It avoids the sloppy emotionalizing that disfigures most productions … In other words, the production operates at the same level of intelligence as did Charles Dickens when he wrote the original. A joy to behold … with festive music you’re happy to leave the theatre humming … Instinctively theatrical, a family entertainment of infectious joyousness.”
