As a result, several faculty are currently involved in projects with faculty in gerontology, nutrition, special education, the honors program, allied health, and biology. Department faculty members are also taking part in current department and college initiatives in the areas of curriculum, facilities, and technology as well as creative projects. This is an exciting time for the department. The number of majors at both the undergraduate and graduate levels has continued to increase. The growth of the northern suburbs has resulted in a variety of job opportunities for our graduates, and a strong network of alumni is currently employed in the suburbs surrounding Chicago.
Some undergraduates return to the department to pursue their master's degree.
The renovation of several areas in Anderson Hall is moving forward. By Summer 2001, all five classrooms will be equipped with a podium, mounted LCD projector, computer, VCR, flex video arm, white boards, and accent walls. In addition, all of the classroom chairs will be replaced with new, more modern chairs. Other projects include remodeling a locker room to house graduate assistants and create more storage space, converting the old graduate assistant office to a seminar room, and replacing the floor in the upper dance studio.
