he faculty of Southern Connecticut State College con- sists of hundreds of men and women of diverse back- grounds, interests, and teaching styles. Insofar as aca- demic background is concerned, research has shown that SCSC has a higher percentage of faculty with doctorates than most institutions of its size. Yet, it is widely acknowledged by students that academic preparation is not the sole criteria by which to recognize an effective teacher. Those faculty members most requested and respected by students appear to be those who respect their students, display a willingness to help students to understand their subject bet- ter, and who are well-versed in their subject area. The follow- ing pages show some faces familiar to Southern students. l f K? W , wg QQ-191 tx gif , i fm f Q ieff., 'ky as- R it Qs Xi' mi Nr sg vb 94.2-N 1 X J if K -r at N -4 m .

epartmental Orientations which took place on campus in the Fall of 1978 were replaced in the Spring of 1979 by Career Awareness Week. The Orientation meetings had consisted of meetings in various rooms around campus sponsored by each department. The orientations enabled stu- dents unaffiliated with any department to compare the pro- grams of the departments and choose a major. During those days scheduled for Departmental Orientation, the class periods were shortened to leave a two hour midday break in classes. Within that period of time, some departments presented detailed programs, others had question and answer sessions, while others disappeared. In an effort to redefine the purpose of orientation, stimulate student response, and eliminate schedule reorganizations, the administration initiated Career Awareness Week this spring. The purpose was to provide each department with an opportu- nity to inform unaffiliated students of career possibilities in the field of that department. Most departments scheduled their meetings for the activity period on Friday, March 2. Most of the meetings were much more informal than in previous semesters with refreshments being served to prospec- tive candidates for that department. Rumors indicate that the quality ofthe refreshments attracted students more than inter- est in a department. T .. F 'vi - ,.. , 9. , K
