MAJOR CONSTRUCTION BEGINS

After months of planning and designing by members of the college community, the college finally will begin construc­tion this summer on the campus. Marian Hall will be renova­ted into a state-of-the-art science center which will in­clude modern laboratories and classrooms, a new greenhouse for the Biology Department and improved dining facilities for both students and faculty and administration. In the Administration Building the "plaza level" will be converted into a student activities center housing a new student social center which will be the focal point of the renovations, and a new ~ilroom with mailboxes for all students, both tradition­al and continuing education, student lounges, and student life offices. A totally new handicapped-accessible elevator will be constructed to replace the current one in the Admin­istration Building.

Architects' drawings of these changes are currently on display in the second floor corridor of the Administration Building. A drawing of the campus which in cludes a proposed plan for a new parking lot is also on display there, but this plan is tentative and partially dependent on City zoning ap­proval. A model of the exterior of lfurian Hall is on display in the Admissions Office.

The renovations to Marian Hall are scheduled to begin in July and to Qe completed during the next summer. ,\lork on the Administration Building has already begun and will con­tinue into the second semester next year. Further renovations to the Administration Building and other parts of the campus are being planned for the future and will be funded by the ~roceeds from a capital gifts campaign.

S~RY FROM PRESIDENT'S MAY 8 LETTER ABOUT ACADEMIC DEAN

Dean Marion Kilson has resigned as Academic Dean, ef­fective at the end of June 1986. For the past six years, Dean Kilson has given distinguished academic leadership to Emmanuel College, and I express deep gratitude for the ex­cellence of her tenure as Academic Dean. In July, Marion Kilson will begin a well deserved sabbatical semester.

Marion Kilson's accomplishments as Academic Dean are most impressive. She has instituted many new programs and institutional affiliations which have enhanced the curriculum and have improved the quality of life at Emmanuel. Her im­pact on the lives of Emmanuel's students, faculty and staff is extensive.

The college community owes Marion Kilson much gratitude for her many accomplishments during the past six years, and during the next several weeks there will be many opportuni­ties to wish Marion Kilson all the best.
