The Honorable Betty Castor addressed masters and doctoral students, supervisors and mentors, faculty, staff, and friends of the Hardee Center on October 20th, 2005 in the Florida State University Law School Rotunda. The second annual Stryker Lecture was a well attended event, where Castor spoke to many issues in higher education. The former president of the University of South Florida, former Florida Commissioner of Education, and CEO of the National Board for Professional Standards, Castor has many experiences in which to base her call for action by the future of higher education administrators. Castor mentioned many faces within the room that she called both mentors and role models for her own personal career. Laurey Stryker, the namesake of the lecture series, is a friend, and has been a great influence within Castor’s life, through her mentorship of young administrators. Castor also listed Dr. Dale Lick, past president of Florida State University and Dr. Bob Spivey, Ombudsman for the University Foundation, both as significant administrators through the University system, and great friends. Castor also mentioned the “enthusiasm and love” that Dr. Melvene Hardee never ceased to express to her students. “She never forgot a

student,” Castor articulated. Throughout her speech, Castor emphasized the roles that higher education professionals encompass. “We have built the standard for higher education that is the envy of the world,” she said. Referencing staggering statistics of both government funding decreasing, and tuition costs increasing, Castor questioned, “Should we worry? You bet.” “With 80% of students attending public schools, we need to see change occurring to support these students. And if we want to change the place of Higher education in leadership, we need to say it.” As a past university administrator, Castor is candid about the opposition that is very

RECOGN IZING OUR STUDEN TS HARDEE CENTER 2005 FELLOWS & SCHOLARS

Continued on Page 3

By Meghan Haggerty

Hardee Fellows: Higher Education graduate students who have achieved a 3.8 overall GPA in the previous 12 month aca-demic year and have completed at least 18 credit hours. Hardee Scholars: Higher Educa-tion graduate students who score a minimum of 1000 on the GRE.

Since beginning to publish The LifeNet on a regular basis over a year ago we have made considerable progress in rees-tablishing contact with many former students of the Higher Education program at FSU. Many of these alumni have taken the time to update us on their current work and life changes since graduation. Some have shared with us some amusing stories about their student days at FSU and what they remember most about their years in Tallahas-see. As we plan for the 50th anniversary of FSU's Higher Education program we would like to hear from more of our alumni. We will celebrate the 50 year anniversary in Febru-ary, 2007 and are beginning to organize activities for that special occasion. We hope to include in our celebration ac-tivities some of our alumni's

reflections on their graduate study in the Higher Educa-tion program. I hope you will consider the following questions and write us with your thoughts on any of the questions: 1. Who was your favorite professor in the Higher Edu-cation program and why? 2. Who was a student in the program that you admired a great deal and why? 3. What was one of the fun traditions or activities that you enjoyed doing with other students in the program? 4. What is one of your fond-est memories of your time at FSU? 5. How well did the Higher Education program prepare you for your life's work? We will be collecting this information over the next several months and using it in the activities we are plan-ning for the program's 50th

anniversary. I hope you will take time to share some of your memories and experi-ences so that we can help make the 50th a very special time for you and all who par-ticipate. We will also share some of this information in upcoming issues of The LifeNet. Finally, in November and December we will be con-ducting our annual fund rais-ing efforts to support the Har-dee Center and its efforts on behalf of Higher Education students. When you receive your mailing we hope you will help us to continue to build on the wonderful tradi-tion you have helped to estab-lish at FSU! Thanks for your support and best wishes for the holi-day season,

likely faced when making bold statements about funding and other obstacles that inhibit the ability of higher education professionals. Castor spoke briefly about her tenure at the University of South Florida. During her application process for the presidency, because of “The Sunshine Laws,” she could not escape scrutinization that she had not previously held a position in higher education administration. However, she “let the sun shine in” and further explained “I chaired the damn Appropriations committee. What were they going to do about it?” In reflection, Castor credits the environment of education as the most rewarding because of the ability to create change, and see the impact in the lives of the students that we reach. Castor gave advice that it is best if you “forget that stuff, go forward, and never look back.” Castor concluded that in the field of higher education administration, “We need to be advocates for fairness and equity.” Finally, Castor made a metaphorical call to arms that “We can do better, but we must have people like you. You must lead. You must become outspoken champions for change.” At the conclusion of Castor’s speech, Meghan Greene, a second year masters student and Hardee Fellow, presented Castor with the FSU Visions book, signed by guests attending the event. Jon Dalton, Meghan Haggerty, and Grahaeme Hesp, staff members of the Hardee Center presented Higher Education students with a garnet pin to recognize them as a Hardee fellow. Castor participated in the award ceremony and had her photograph taken with each of the students. The Stryker Lecture is made possible by the generous gift of Laurey Stryker. The Hardee Center and the Higher Education Administration students, faculty, and staff continue to be given the wonderful opportunity to interact with key administrators due to the this gracious gift.

Hardee Center Academic Conference Support Travel Grant & Hardee Center Conference Presentation Grant

"Funding from the Hardee Center allowed me to attend my first ACPA conference this past year in Nashville, Tennessee. Without this conference grant I may not have otherwise been able to attend this conference as the traveling expenses may have been too much. I am grateful that the Hardee Center allowed me an opportunity for professional development." ~ Christie Medina

"I used a Hardee Center Academic Conference Support Grant to attend NASPA last year. I had a fantastic experience at NASPA and really appreciate those who made it possible for me to attend. In addition, during my time at FSU the Hardee Center has planned a number of outstanding events and activities that have expanded my knowledge and allowed me to network with a number of amazing people who are members of the LifeNet. The LifeNet and the Hardee Center are two of the resources that attracted me to come to Florida State University in the first place. I am grateful to all of those who make these events and professional development opportunities possible." ~Gordon Mills
