The Framingham State University Po-lice Department [FSUPD] used the FSU Alert system on Saturday, Aug. 25, to no-tify the community of a shooting 2.2 miles away at 10 Richardson Circle.

The event was the result of collabora-tion between the Massachusetts Immigrant and Refugee Advocacy coalition (MIRA), Framingham Downtown Renaissance and Welcoming Framingham, a community branch of the national Welcoming Amer-ica organization.

Their goal, said FSU Sociology Profes-sor Vincent Ferraro, was to make the town more friendly for its diverse residents.

He added that he is impressed with the IUHVKPDQ FODVV ZKR DUH VPDUW QLFH NLGVand good citizens, and the work of the cur-rent students who helped to make the transi-tion smooth for new students.

Flanagan highlighted three major concepts which guided the development of the strate-gic plan: expanding opportunity, developing community and promoting student success.

Can you please provide a brief sum-mary of your resume and educational background?I am an urban planner with a geography background. High school in Jordan. Bach-elors degree in Lebanon. Bachelors de-gree in Alexandria [Egypt]. A diploma in urban planning in Tokyo, Japan. Universi-ty of Cincinnati - masters in city planning and Ph.D in ge-ography and re-gional planning.Why did you decide to ma-jor in Geogra-phy?As a matter of IDFWP\UVWGH-sire was to be a pilot. I have al-ways loved na-ture and wanted to see nature from the top, but my parents wanted me to go to medical school since I ZDVWKHUVWRQHin my family to get an educa-tion. While I was waiting to be accepted into medical school, I decided to go to school for ge-ography. When , QDOO\ JRW DF-cepted into medical school, I decided in-stead to continue with geography because I really do love nature.What was your best experience in col-lege?'HQLWHO\ P\ XQGHUJUDGXDWH \HDUV EH-cause your undergraduate years stick with you. You are moving from being a teen-ager to many other things.What courses do you teach?World Regional Geography, Geography of the Middle East, Introduction to Ur-ban Studies and Planning, and Methods for Planning Analysis and Plan Making. Those are the main courses I teach and the last one I designed myself.

What is the best part of your job at FSU?I think the campus is a very close-knit campus. I can interact with faculty and students, people from all walks of life. The students are really eager to learn about other cultures. As well as the trav-eling around the world for my job with students. Are you currently working on any proj-ects?

Do you have any hobbies?I play soccer once a week, and I love to go on trips with my family. We usu-ally go on two trips every year.Do you have a role model?

My dad is one of my role models. He was not educated. He only went up to fourth grade because of the economic situation. He was a hardworking man. He kept help-ing me, encouraging me, and pushing me toward education. Thats how I am where I am today.Do you have any advice for students?My advice to students is to appreciate the opportunities and educational resources here in the United States in comparison to other countries - especially third world countries. Number two: widen your ho-rizons. The world is not just the United States. The United States is part of the world. Yes, the United States is the leader of the world, but in order to appreciate the United States, you need to go see how other people live.

First year of capital fundraising deemed a successmore attention on graduate education in order to grow the programs. Flanagan said with 2,000 students, the percentage of enrollment in the graduate program is the highest of any state university in Mas-sachusetts.

The university is conducting an internal search for a dean of graduate studies, who will be a senior faculty member whose MRE LV WRFDUH IRU IHHGDQGGHYHORS WKHgraduate programs. This job was previous-ly performed by Scott Greenberg as Dean of Graduate and Continuing Education (DGCE), but now he will be able to focus on continuing education exclusively.

He also reported that a project is under-way to expand the dining commons in the McCarthy Center though a bond issuance in January. There is a target of a new resi-dence hall by fall 2015 to accommodate the increased student population called for in the strategic plan.
