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

Division Emphasizes Human Values ln today's faculty in the Di- vision of Humanities, we find highly trained men and women who have sensitivity to the stu- dents' academic and spiritual needs and who are dedicated to helping our students sharp- en their own intellectual skills. A spirit of unity and coopera- tion pervades this division. These are the words of Nor- man Hogan, Head of the Divi- sion of Humanities, the divi- sion which includes the departments of history and political science, interdisciplin- ary studies, and languages and literature. The chief strength of the Di- vision of Humanities is its ver- satility. Hogan points out that there is an increasing need for broader-based educational degrees to fill many positions in business and industry. The success of the division is evi- dent in its job placement record: graduates have achieved positions in interior design, teaching, banking, and business. The acceptance rate to professional schools also continues to be good. The Division of Humanities continues to attempt to pro- vide its students with a sound liberal arts education. A new minor in Interior Design was added to the Department of interdisciplinary Studies for 1987-88, and Dr. Donald Tay- lor joined the faculty of the De- partment of Languages and Literature. With Dr. Taylor's addition to the F-HC faculty, the division was also able to reintroduce Spanish to the curriculum. Faculty members also attended various profes- sional meetings throughout the year.
