Bioteau: higher expectations are instrumental to success

I want people of every walk of life to feel like they belong here [at FSCJ] . . . Our shared goal we have is that we want this to be a remarkable learning experience for anyone who walks through these doors, said newly appointed President Cynthia Bioteau. Bioteau came to FSCJ from Salt Lake Community College in Utah, where she served as president for nearly nine years. To become more familiar with the students and faculty at FSCJ, Bioteau began, like many of us, by exploring campuses. Ive been walking halls and talking to students when I come upon them, to just introduce myself, first and foremost, she said, and welcomes open conversation with everyone involved with FSCJ. Bioteau greatly encourages further cooperation with the various student government groups, local and student media, faculty, administration, and most importantly, students and their families. To this effect, she mentioned a student photo gallery opening she attended Tuesday, Jan. 21, at Kent Campus, where she spoke to some parents of the artists whose works were on display. That inter-generational pride of being connected to FSCJ is just so instrumental to me. To make sure I never forget that we have to have the highest of expectations for all of us and, most importantly, the highest expectations for the learning experience that we give students, she said. She believes it is a mission critical for state colleges to continually improve access and approachability as FSCJ has demonstrated by launching ten new baccalaureate degrees. As head of the executive branch of FSCJ, Bioteau will help create, examine, challenge, and enforce policy and operations in the college. Leadership is truly relational and in order for me to be a good leader, I have to have built relationships with all of those within the college and the community, she said. If you have mutual respect through relationships ahead of time, it is a much more healthy conversation. She expects to have multi-faceted conversations as well. We will, she continued, because part of the glory of institutions of higher education is that it is a safe place for discourse and discussion and disagreement. Remarking back to her presidency at Salt Lake Community College, she would like FSCJ to broaden input in building the fiscal budget. Rather than have a budget developed just by the . . . executive cabinet, I would like to spread an understanding of the budget and how we construct it and get input from the college at large, she said. FSCJs next fiscal year budget planning will unfold around April. Since the new FSCJ website rollout, Bioteau has heard concerns about its functions. The previous system was dated, she concluded, and modernizing FSCJs software is one of her top priorities. The new FSCJ website is a way of doing business, a way of using technology to become far more efficient and effective in how we encourage students to register for classes, how they can check grades mid-term, how they can do degree audits . . . even how we orientate new employees, she said.

Your password is incorrect - FSCJ increases web security

By Jessica Geraci Copy Editor

All password are required to be changed every 60 days.

With the new start of the semester, FSCJ students face new password precautions. FSCJ has recently taken new online security measures to ensure its members cyber safety. According to the Florida Auditor Generals office, students and faculty must update their passwords every Photo Courtesy: Lulu Hoeller 60 days. This has caused

irritation amongst the student body. Personally, I do not understand it. Refreshing passwords so often seems a bit much. Maybe if they did it every 90 days it would be better, said Shenai Hylton, an FSCJ student. President Cynthia Bioteau felt that this update was positive, but empathized with students. I am sorry, changing your password constantly can be bothersome.

But know that I have to change mine every 60 days too. Despite this hassle, FSCJ secures its students and staffs online health. Students are encouraged to create complex passwords that are easy to remember, but difficult to guess. It is highly discouraged to use previous passwords from other services. In todays cyber world, safety is most important but hard to come by.

Campus News Talented musicians stop by North Campus

and Darren Frate. Guys with Guitars is kind of an idea to have three solo guys playing up on stage playing each others songs, and also collaborating to make it more of an exciting concert, than one guy playing guitar, said Wood. Darren Frate also contributed to the album Cellocentric where he plays bass. The two artists are beginning their Cellocentric Tour to inform others of the new album and to share their musical experience. Each song has its own personality. Im one of those musicians that creates songs out of experiences, explains Wood. The reason why Im the musician, is because I want to share my musical experience, with my experience musically. Its awesome, explains student Kyanna Carter, I like how he plays the guitar. Its powerful, said student ambassador LaTaiseana Chives. Singles of Cellocentric are now available on Amazon.com and the entire album is available at dougwoodmusic.com. I think our music transcends a lot of different styles, explains Wood, Taras music invokes a lot of classical elements into it; sometimes my music solo has classical elements to it. Up on stage, were using a lot of references that have been used by pop music. For more information, visit dougwoodmusic.com and tarahanish.com.

Recording artists Doug Wood and Tara Hanish performed tunes from their enchanting debut album Cellocentric at North Campus from noon until 1 p.m. on Jan. 13. Sounds from Hanishs cello and Woods guitar and mandolin echoed throughout the campus capturing the ears of students and faculty alike. Dozens surrounded the North Campus plaza to hear the works of these gifted musicians. Doug Wood has performed at over 400 college concerts and won Best Instrumentalists from CampusAwards. com. He has been featured on Applause, PBSs arts program, performed live on NPRs Echoes and River City Folk programs, and his song Cat Dance was

played on the Late Night Show with David Letterman. Tara Hanish has played music across the globe including Europe, South America, Central America, and the United States. She has performed inside of local bars, music festivals, recital halls, and even the Grammy Awards. Hanish has a Masters degree in cello performance and is a member of the New Directions Cello Association, Cleveland Cello Society, and the American Federation of Musicians. She has performed along with the Foo Fighters and Kanye West. It can be easily determined within the first 15 seconds of listening to their music, both are masters of their craft. And like thousands of musicians alike, the love for music came to them at an early

age. I wanted to be a rock star, it was before my teen years, said Wood, At 11 or 12 I wanted to be a rock star, that inspired me to be a guitarist, because I grew up playing trumpet. Theres a whole instrumental finger style guitar genre, that I grew up listening to and appreciating, so that influenced a lot of my writing as well. My mom was a musician and she had me starting piano when I was 5, and I wanted start cello because my cousin played violin & I actually wanted to play violin and there was an opportunity to just sit in and try a cello and, once I sat down with it, thats all I wanted to do, Hanish said. Doug Wood is also a part of a trio called, Guys With Guitars, along with fellow guitarist Ben Lapps

Opinions Saying I do to the stress of planning a wedding

I

February 3, 2014 January 27, 2008

By Honor Stewart Layout and Design Manager

Ive planned more than a handful of events in my lifetime. At the time, picking balloons for surprise birthday parties, coordinating whos standing in line for movie outings, and picking a hotel for a weekend Disney vacation all seemed like so much work. I was so very wrong thinking these would be the most stressful things I ever planned. I love that Im getting married, but planning a wedding is rather stressful. Everyone always needs the bride. Always. What chicken do you want, breast or tenderloins? Are silk roses or velvet roses okay? Is it okay if I bring a date? So many questions and theres only one of me. Sometimes I dont even know the answers yet or I could care less which one is picked. Velvet or silk, I mean come on, just pick one, its roses. As long as its red, Im fine. Of course Billy, my fianc, does help sometimes when I really need him to but often times when asked a questions he replies with whatever you want honey,

which drives me completely insane. I also never know what I want when vendors ask me questions but at least Im not the only one. Personally my least favorite is trying to explain what I want to vendors because I might have a hundred ideas that I like and not really know what is possible or what even goes together. Also, I dont know jack about flowers, says Jocelyn Tolbert, also a bride to be. There are fun parts to planning a wedding though. My favorites

are showing off my ring, picking out things for our future home, and smiling when Billy calls me his future wife. I also love getting all dressed up and taking pictures that say Hey were engaged! My favorite [part] is planning stuff with Jake and thinking of our life together, Bethany Hatcher, another bride planning her wedding, told me and I completely agree. Billy and I both love going to Target and picking out lamps, choosing bath towels and pick-

ing out cute decorations that we have no idea where we will put. Its times like those when I remember exactly why Im getting married. Its not so my family can watch me get all dolled up and pretty. It isnt so my Maid of Honor, can tell everyone shes the boss. It isnt even so our families can meet and join as one. Its because I love my fiance so much that I plan on spending the rest of my life with him and that alone makes all this stressful planning worth it.

Disney proves everybody can still be a kid at heart

really makes me think sometimes, Why do I love Disney so much? Of course the quality of their parks and movies is unparalleled, but what else is it about Disney that makes me so happy? Then I figured it out. We all have so many things to stress us out these days, between school and our personal lives. So naturally we find ways to unwind and relax. I enjoy sports as a way to get my mind off of things. But maybe listening to these Disney songs and movies is another way to do that. They bring back memories of simpler times; times before friends and boy drama, times before going to work every day, times before being up to your eyeballs in school work. Sometimes it is ok to be a kid again. Not in a creepy way or a way so that you ignore responsibilities, but in a way to remind you that you dont need to take everything so seriously all the time. There are simple truths in Disney movies that we tend to miss. Friendship, family andsacrifice are just a few of those lessons. So, Hakuna Matata. Enjoy life, because one day you wake up and realize your childhood is

I love Disney movies more than the average six year old girl, and Im ok with that. I will listen to Disney channels on Pandora and Spotify as I am doing homework. The music and soundtracks to these movies just make me happy. I sing along with them, and other people my age think I am crazy, but again I am ok with that. I recently saw Frozen, and must admit it is the best animated Disney movie since Lion King (which is my favorite Disney movie). The songs were great, the message they conveyed in the movie was amazing, and it was hilarious. My Disney obsession

gone. Or maybe that has already happened to you. All I know is I am a big girl now, time to take on a lot more responsibilities. But being able to listen to the Tan-

gled soundtrack every now and then is a simple way to remind me to have fun and make every moment count.
