Professionalism that characterizes its purposes and setting is the one memory Dr. Gerald Hovater, head of the Division of Education, wishes to leave with F-HC education majors. This professionalism is well evidenced in statistics: 100 OA of F-HC education graduates are accepted into masters programs in education, and 75 !: of healthlP,E. graduates are accepted into graduate programs. Additionally, F-HC ls slated to begin its own mas- ter's program in education within the next tew years. The Division ot Education consists of two departments that are primarily engaged in the professional prepara- tion of elementary and secondary education teachers. Graduates ot the division's teacher education programs are prepared to teach in both private and public schools. Proper prepara- tion is supported by formal studies, observations, personal reports, and results of both national and state teacher examinations. A professional education foundation is provided tor admission and study leading to gradu- ate teacher education degrees. This year the Division of Education welcomed 94 majors to the campus of F-HC.

Students Set Goals For Growth The Division of Human De- velopment, headed by Dr. James Murphy, includes such departments as behavioral sciences and home and con- sumer economics. The courses and programs offered by the two departments within the Division of Human Devel- opment contribute significant- ly to the academic and per- sonal growth of students attending F-HC. Programs are available to prepare students for professions in psychology, social work, fashion merchan- dising, child development, and nutrition and food manage- ment. Courses are also offered in the areas of sociology, an- thropology, gerontology, and family studies. New faculty in the division are Lisa Miller, instructor in so- cial work, and Dr. Mike Cra- vens, instructor in the Depart- ment of Home and Consumer Economics. Additionally, 1987-88 marked the institu- tion of a new major in home and consumer economics with a concentration in fashion de- sign and merchandising, and a new minor in family studies. 1 2 ,ta Gwen Jennen, senior, prepares the Department s portable display Reba Thomas, Chairman of the Department of Home and Consumer Economics. 64 Division of Human Development
