The strength of any community naturally depends on the involvement and contributions of each of its members.

Knowing that many of you face the often-competing demands of school, family, and work, I want to offer some heartfelt advice.

She is involved in strategic planning for Capital Campus. Through interdisciplinary programs and timely response to stu dents’ education needs she hopes PSH will become an intergraded dual-campus col lege of Penn State. Maintaining a student-cen tered atmosphere, where stu dents are encouraged to get involved in their education is a way for Hanes to improve PSH and the quality of edu cation students receive from this institution. The influx of freshmen and four-year programming is something Hanes has been working towards. “We have been introducing academic opportunities for lower-divi sion, first-year students over several years.” PSH offers 26 baccalaureate majors, as well as programs of study leading to the 160 undergraduate majors across the university, which are now available to interested students. Hanes is proud of the accomplish- ments of the campus and of the resources available for all students. She has had a great hand in giving this opportunity to the students Hanes is also involved in student-life improvements being made here. First-year seminars, increased co-cur ricular activities, recreational and intramural programs, a wide variety of clubs, and academic support programs are just some of the resources Hanes has been working towards to advance the quality of student life for freshmen and upper-class men on campus. “I hope all students will engage in cam pus acivities to maximize their time with us. Four years can fly by very quickly. Make use of every moment” Hanes said. “All this is done with the sole purpose of having a pos itive impact on students and making the educational expe rience a rich, positive, and productive one for them” Hanes said WE OFFER: 3 3-5 Hour Shifts 3 4 Available Shifts 3 $lOO.OO New Hire Bonus O Regular Pay Increases 3 Tuition Assistance (Up to $2.00/HR) ® Paid Vacations O /Medical, Dental, Prescription Hanes puts in 60 plus hours a week working toward her goals. She is often found working from 7 a.m. to at least 7 p.m. each day and many weekends. “I do it glad ly. As Provost and Dean, I need to visible within the col lege and University and the broader community” Hanes said. She is a loyal PSU football fan; attending every home game in support of the University. The dean does all this while managing a full personal life as well. She must keep track 'of her two daughters and son, while making time to spend with her husband, Michael, President of Georgia Southwestern State University. Hanes also likes to travel in her “not so spare” time. During a recent trip to Costa flica she attended a performance by an ensemble group called Miriam Jayquin and Blues Latino. She like the group so much, that she regularly listens to their CD. She also enjoys eating out; citing Italian cuisine as a per sonal favorite. Hanes’ favorite part of being the dean is staying close to the teaching and learning atmosphere on campus. “I am a student at heart- a life long learner. Being involved in others’ education is per sonally gratifying" Hanes said. This aspect of the dean makes her easily accessible and approachable for stu dents. Rodney Horton, SGA president defines Hanes as “very personable.” Horton said the first thing Hanes did when meeting him was give him a hug; not caring that he was wearing a big sweaty lions costume. Hanes said her most dis liked part of the job is having to wear 2-3 inch heels for some 10 hours a day. Other than her choice in footwear Hanes has had a positive experience as Dean and Provost of PSH. Hanes’ educational back ground includes speech and language pathology and lan guage and literacy acquisi tion. “We remain good stewards of Penn State University’s world-class reputation as we continue to provide access to a quality o Penn State University degree” said THE SCHOOL YEARS BIGGEST QUESTION: Where can I work this summer and get paid LOTS of money, and have my weekends free ??l!
