Associate Dean of Students, Norm Jones, will be moving up the administration ladder to become assistant to the president. This position includes duties previously belonging to the executive vice president and regarding community development. The Carlisle Regional Medical Center moves one and a half miles further from campus and although this puts it out of walking distance for Dickinson students, they appreciate the better facilities that will be featured in the new building. The Public Affairs Symposium attracts far fewer students than anticipated, though the topic of natural disasters and the media is very relevant to current life. The Commission on the Environment will be hosting an event called Trash the Plaza in which all the garbage thrown away in the HUB that could have been recycled will be spread out across Britton Plaza to encourage students to be more sustainable.
