Each unit .would begin with a lecture discussing an idea in regard to a previously assigned essay. Additionally, the semester included five writing confer- ences so students could receive one-on-one assistance from instructors. The format intended to help transition teaching fellows into the course and provide students with more experienced instruc- tors. The student group Sa'lam Shalom, an Arab-Jewish peace project, held its first meeting to discuss conflict in the Middle East. The students expressed appreciation for the opportu- nity to discuss both sides of the conflict in the Middle East with students with different opin- ions. Ten years ago this week (Oct. 24,2003): Construction began on a new addition to the School of Public Health. The addition replaced class format a wing of the Henry F. Vaughan Building and added new class- rooms, conference rooms and research space. The addition also included construction of the School of Public Health connector bridge across Washington Heights Street. At the ground-breaking event, University President Mary Sue Coleman emphasized the innovative research and achievements by the School of Public Health. Construction was completed in 2006.

Regents will hold January meeting in New York Athletic Dept. outlines plans for South Campus Board will hold 'strategic planning session' in place of normal meeting By PETER SHAHIN, JENNIFER CALFAS and SAM GRINGLAS Daily NewsEditor and Daily StaffReporters FLINT, Mich. - Rewgent Andrea Fischer Newman (R) announced at Friday's Board of Regents meeting that the govern- ing board will travel to New York City for a "strategic planning ses- sion" in place of their January 2014 meeting. While in the Big Apple, the regents will discuss the impor- tance of university medical centers with a host of higher education leaders, including Princeton University presi- dent Christopher Eisgruber and Yale University president Peter Salovey, as well as former admin- istrators from Johns Hopkins University and Emory University. Last January, the regents attended sessions in California to discuss the challenges facing higher education with Robert Birgeneau, recently retired chan- cellor of the University of Califor- nia, Berkeley; Stanford University President John Hennessy; Robert Berdahl, former president of the Association of American Univer- sities; and Dan Russell, one of Google's top research scientists. California is the most well-rep- resented state at the University besides Michigan, with 2,282 Californians enrolled in classes, according to enrollment data released Wednesday. The second largest body of non-resident students hails from New York, with 2,102 students calling the state home. The state is also home to a large number of *uzaciuu alumni. With the trip scheduled a few months after the capital cam- paign launch on Nov. 8, Newman also said the University plans to meet with donors and alumni during their excursion. Universi- ty alum Stephen Ross, chair of the upcoming Victors for Michigan campaign and a resident of New York city, will also host a develop- ment-focused event. Jerry May, vice president for development, attended last Janu- ary's California trip along with two University gift officers sta- tioned in California. May did not attend the Board's seminars and meetings, but focused on con- necting the regents with alumni and. potential donors at two events. In January, University spokes- man Rick Fitzgerald said the west coast trip provided an opportuni- ty to reach outto donors in a state heavily populated with Univer- sity alumni. "This presents an opportunity. to reach out to people who care about the University and want this institution to thrive well into our third century," Fitzgerald said last year. In an e-mail interview before the California trip, Regent Denise Ilitch (D) expressed interest in holding similar meetings in the future. "I look forward to more meet- ings that allow us to learn, exchange ideas and promote the virtues of the University of Mich- igan," Ilitch wrote. "It is vitally important to be an 'ambassador' of our great institution." DO YOU LIKE US? FACEBOOK.COM/ MICHIGANDAILY Fundraising effort to focus on all 16 projects simultaneously By ALICIA ADAMCZYK Daily News Editor At the second annual Michi- gan Sports Business Conference held Friday at the Ross School of Business, Athletic Direc- tor Dave Brandon and other Athletic Department admin- istrators explained upcoming renovations to the University's athletic campus and delved into fundraising plans for the 16 improvement projects. The projects, which Brandon said will "touch every single one of our student-athletes," were broken down into regions. As reported previously, in the northern area, which encom- passes the traditional athletic campus from Crisler Arena and Michigan Stadium to Schem- bechler Hall on State Street, about 400,000 square feet of new space will be constructed, at an estimated price of $140 million in construction costs. These estimates do not include the planning costs, which include architecture fees, and are expected to add about 30 to 40 percent to total expenses. The southern region, which currently houses the tennis facilities and women's gym- nastics program, will add roughly 308,000 square feet of new space, at a cost of about $120 million. The University's golf course connects the two regions and will also undergo renovations. Projects also include the con- struction of a field hockey team center and stadium, a multi- purpose team center and new administrative offices. The Ste- phen Ross Academic Center will be expanded,. Schembechler Hall will be reconstructed and new training facilities will be built. A new soccer and rowing team center will be built in the south, along with a lacrosse sta- dium, training center and an outdoor track. Brandon said the Athletic Department wanted to improve conditions for all of Michigan's 31 programs to encourage even better recruits to commit to Michigan, even in less lucrative sports. The department is hop- ing to create a consistent expe- rience among all programs. "The question that all of them ask themselves is, 'What is the commitment level this institution has for my sport,' " Brandon said. "Their sport, in their mind, is the most impor- tant sport." Brandon, while noting that each Michigan football game generates an estimated $14 mil-. lion in economic benefit to the region, stressed the importance of the financial opportunity of an enhanced athletic campus. In order to hold conference tournaments and champion- ship events, there are standards the facilities of each sport must live up to, he said. "We have an exciting oppor- tunity to be a destination venue that can bring excitement, attention and dollars to this community," he said. "We want to have the types of facilities that afford us the opportunity to host those championships." Chrissi Rawak, Michigan's senior associate athletic direc- tor for development, said the fundraising for the new build- ings is unique as compared to projects at other universities because instead of fundraising for each individual project, the money will be raised for all 16 projects at once. "We're buying into one .vision," Rawak said, referenc- ing former Michigan football coach Bo Schembechler's clas- sic "the team, the team, the team" mentality. Though all donations will be collected in one pot, the indi- vidual donor's name will go to the program he or she is pas- sionate about. Rawak pointed to University alum Stephen Ross, who donated a historic $100 million for the campus, as evi- dence that fundraising is going well. The University's Board of Regents approved naming the new campus the Stephen M. Ross Athletic Campus at Fri- day's Board of Regents meeting at the University's Flint cam- pus. Plans for the projects began three years ago, and Rawak estimates they will be com- pleted in the next five to seven years. The first project, construc- tion of new softball facilities, will be completed in December. Constructionof the field hockey stadium willbegin immediately following the completion of its season next month, according to Rob Rademacher, associate athletic director for facilities. Rawak said the Athletic Department will put aside $250,000 a year to proactively address the increased opera- tion costs that will result from the addition ofnew buildings. Contrary to rumors, student- athletes will not live in separate athletic dorms, but will remain integrated in dorms on campus. Brandon also addressed trans- portation issues, saying the department is working on inte- grating plans for future trans- portation services and solving problems with parking. *, UPDATES THROUGHOUT THE DAY?
