spring 2014 FRAMINGHAM STATE UNIVERSITY 1 175 years of living to the truth

Framingham State University (fsu) opened its doors in 1839 as the Lexington Normal School, from the French école normale, or model school. The first public institution for the education of teachers in the United States, it was established under the direction of the great education reformist, Horace Mann, the first secretary of the Massachusetts Board of Education. Horace Mann circa 1840 Over the years, the University has grown and changed in all ways imaginable. Yet, for all its innovation, certain fundamental qualities have remained steadfast. These are embodied in the University’s core values: Academic Excellence, Ethical Citizenship and Global Stewardship, Personal and Professional Growth, Public Purpose and Commitment, and Inclusive and Collaborative Community. Formally adopted by the campus community in 2011, these core values are firmly rooted in fsu’s history. A look back shows that each one can 175be traced over the course of 175 years.

16 FRAMINGHAM STATE UNIVERSITY spring 2014 president’s report framingham state university

175 years The Value of fsua message from the president

It’s been my privilege to serve as Interim President at Framingham State University (FSU) this academic year, and it’s given me new appreciation for the people who work so hard to make FSU a special place to live and learn. That this is such an exciting time for the University is a credit to our committed and hardworking faculty and staff as well as to our talented student body.

More people are starting to take notice of all that Framingham State has to offer. Steadily rising applications and enrollment reflect increased public awareness of the value of an FSU degree and the quality of our academic programs. During the past few years, we’ve added new programs to respond to the needs of the Commonwealth. This includes a new Environmental Science Major, an interdisciplinary Criminology Program and Master’s degrees in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) Education and Nursing, while new programs are in development in Global Studies, American Sign Language/ English Interpretation and Professional Science Masters.

Our physical plant is well maintained, as we’ve capitalized on opportunities to improve our facilities. Each of our residence halls has been renovated in recent years, the dining commons in the McCarthy Center was expanded last summer, and work is underway on a renovation and expansion of Hemenway Hall that is going to transform our growing science programs.

The University continues to be a conscientious steward of public funds. Through a combination of cost-cutting reviews, beneficial energy service contracts and effective advocacy in the legislature on behalf of public higher education, we are pleased that FSU was able to freeze tuition and fees for the current academic year at the 2012–13 level, providing much-needed relief for students and their families. Our tuition and fees rank among the lowest in the State University System, and we hope to keep costs flat again next year as we encourage the legislature to continue moving toward a 50-50 funding split.

None of this progress would be possible without the outstanding efforts of the University’s faculty, staff and administration, as well as the support of our alumni, business partners and friends. This collective effort enables us to look with confidence to our future and the next 175 years of this wonderful institution.

Sincerely,
