With state- of-the-art lecture halls and student research labs, The Future this facility is a welcome addition to the SU land- scape. At the end of his first semester in the new building, Henson School of Science and Technology Dean Tom Jones reflects on how the Looks building took shape and looks to the future.* by Dr. Tom Jones Dean, Henson School of BRIGHTScience and Technology The new Henson Science Hall is one of the largest science buildings in the University System of Maryland at nearly 146,00 square feet. Larger institutions like College Park and Towson have separate building for biology, math, chemistry, etc. We didn’t want that. We wanted to get the original five departments of the School of Science back together again in the same building so that the faculty can see each other routinely and talk, which hopefully will foster interdisciplinary projects. We like that students are able to do the same thing and see the faculty together. In other words, we tried to break down the walls and silos of the sciences to get students to think in an interdisciplinary manner. SU has grown so much in the last three years, however, that some of the faculty in those five departments cannot fit into this new ’40s ’40s Science at SU ’30s Then 3 FEATURE at building. Five faculty in the Department of opter Science Mathematics and Computer Science will have to move into the renovated Devilbiss Hall. ioloy eoloy nironental Nursing and the Health Sciences departments, eosciences Healt which have never been on the main campus in Henson Hall Sciences their near 30-year history, will also move to Interdisciplinary Devilbiss Hall. Science We designed this new building with the idea of minimizing the number of lecture eistry ysics rooms, thereby maximizing the number of labs. nineerin We wanted to remove the classic form of lec- ture in many courses to the laboratory where a very applied, very interactive kind of relation- Henson Science Hall ship could be forged. And so, many of the upper division science courses that used to have three hours of lecture in the classroom followed by three hours in the lab now have all six hours in the lab—we call it blended lecture/lab— where faculty members have many options in getting the material across to their students. With both teaching and learning going on in the labs, we also made all of the labs as “smart” as we could. The latest teaching tech- nology, with computer projection and instruc- tional systems, has been installed in the labs. Normally, you wouldn’t put smart teaching equipment in laboratories because you don’t expect to be doing a lot of presentations there, but we wanted the faculty lecturing in the lab to be able to go on the Web to show informa- tion about various things such as chemical reac- tions or biological processes while the students are doing their own “thing” in the lab. Undergraduate research is a cornerstone of the Henson School of Science and Technology. To serve our faculty and students, this building has 20 state-of-the-art labs that are set aside for faculty-student research. These are beautiful facilities with plenty of room and plenty of equipment. They’re offline to teaching and they’re there 24/7 for research by our faculty members working with our students. I’m especially excited by these research *This article is excerpted from a longer piece. For the complete text visit www.salisbury.edu/alumni/. labs. Lack of such space was our biggest draw- back in Devilbiss Hall, but in Henson Science Hall, we’ve got the space and we’ve got the equipment.

We are grateful that many of you took the time to make the long drive down from Pennsylvania to attend the conference. We are also happy to see some of our neighbors from Virginia, Delaware and the Western Shore of Maryland attending the conference. Although this meeting is a little smaller than in past years, you will still find a diverse range of topics being presented, including two computer-based workshops. This year’s arrangement committee decided to take advantage of our working relationship with the School of Education at Salisbury and highlight K-12 geographical education. To this end, there are four K-12 education workshops scheduled and a panel discussion on K-12 teaching. We are also happy to be having Salisbury alum Mike Seidel speaking at the kick-off luncheon and climatologist Cort Wilmott, 2006 PGS Distinguished Geographer, speaking at the Friday night Banquet. Since many of you are new to the Salisbury area, we have done our best to introduce you to some aspects of the local culture. Our annual banquet will be a traditional crab feast with all of the fixings (be sure to bring your complimentary crab mallet with you). Our Saturday field trip will cross from shore to shore. We will begin at Assateague Island State Park with its wild ponies and end at the fishing communities along the Chesapeake Bay.
