In accordance with that mission statement,departments across campus added, modified, and enriched their offerings. Last spring, the art and design department introduced the Digital Photography minor. Classes in creative and studio photography, photojournalism, and digital imaging were designed not only to help students take better pictures but also to expose them to other methods that skilled photographeurse. One class that recently grew in popularity was the Traditional Irish Music class, which was open to anyone who played an instrument and wanted to learn more about playing Irish folk music. The most visible aca- demic change on campus came in the form of a new academic building. The Health Sciences Center, which was scheduled to be completed by the end ofthe summer,would house the growing number of nursing and pharmacy students who previously shared the ENS with the engineering and science students. This new building would contain classrooms and labs designed to provide students with hands-on training so that they could be successful in their particular fields. The addition of this building was a testament to the university's growth, as well as to its commitment to providing the best possible academic experience to all students.
