Like Aldo Leopold he was one of President those persons who could not live without “wild things.” He loved nature and did all he could to understand and preserve the Finn Amble Roger Anderson natural world and transfer these strong feelings and commitments to others. I first met him when I became a professor at Illinois Michael Brown Guy Fraker State University in 1976 where he had been on the faculty since 1962.

  • Creating a New Normal to Meet Changing Times
    Creating a New Normal to Meet Changing Times A Profile of President Chuck Scott By Anita Blumenthal hen incoming APPA President Chuck Scott was working to become an Eagle Scout in the late W 1960s, he formulated a personal mission state- ment, although he admits he didn’t realize that’s what it was until decades later, when he was in the APPA Leader- ship Academy. That statement was, “Always leave a camp- site cleaner than you found it.” He firmly believes “that statement led me into what I’ve become. It led me to my work ethic and moral standards. It led me to be a loyal fam- ily member, an active community servant, and now, leader of an international facilities management organization.” Although Scott’s path to facilities management was not obvious to him, the seeds were sown early. He grew up in rural Illinois, spent a lot of time outdoors with his three brothers, and developed a great appreciation for the environment. He wasn’t really aiming for college, but he was attracted to the horticultural program at the local community college and continued on to Southern Illinois University to earn a bachelor’s degree in plant and soil science. After eight years in the landscaping business, in 1985 he joined Illinois State University (ISU) in Normal, Illinois as director of grounds maintenance and recy- cling, and has been at ISU ever since, holding positions as director of campus services, executive director of facilities management, and currently, executive director of facilities management, parking, and transportation.

    ILLINOIS STATE UNIVERSITY OARD OF B TRUSTEES Report No. 2019.07/1100.01 Campus Master Plan Update Executive Summary Illinois State University values strategic planning. Its culture is infiltrated with plans stemming from all facets of the institution, all integrated with the University’s strategic plan, Educate•Connect•Elevate: Illinois State—The Strategic Plan for Illinois’ First Public University 2018-2023. The current campus master plan, Master Plan 2010- 2030: Looking to the Future, was approved by the Board of Trustees in February 2011. It reflects a long-range plan for the physical development of Illinois State University in its future size, form, function, character, image, and environment. Master Plan 2010-2030 includes 67 recommended actions spanning from instruction, research, and academic support; campus life; administration; Intercollegiate Athletics and recreation facilities; and general campus improvements. Many actions have advanced and are noted in the Master Plan 2010-2030 Progress Report section of the Master Plan Update 2010- 2030. Master Plan 2010-2030 called for a 10-year review and update in order to reflect the current campus, the State of Illinois, and overall higher education environments. In September 2018, President Larry Dietz appointed and charged the Master Plan Update Steering Team to develop an update to the Master Plan 2010-2030: Looking to the Future that considers the realities of operating as a public university in the State of Illinois in lean financial times. The Master Plan Update Steering Team consulted widely with students, faculty, staff, alumni, community members, and annuitants to assist in determining strategic focus areas that include current and new recommended actions that reflect the University’s priorities for the duration of the life of Master Plan 2010-2030.
