91����

Although students often see the assistant dean at lunch or can easily find him in his office, last Wednesday, Dr. Josef Froula took the hot seat for “Assistant Dean on Tap” at 91����, New England. Over the course of a 90-minute presentation, Dr. Froula gave students a special opportunity to get to know him on a deeper level — and test his knowledge of campus rules.

The students took full advantage of the opportunity, and questions ranged from “What is your favorite quality of the glorified Body?” to “What did you want to be when you grew up … at age four?” This year, sitting next to the assistant dean was also the campus head of security, Dale Brown. Students also directed questions to him, curious about his background as a police officer and eager to learn from his experience.

The themes of this year’s questionnaire were campus rules, College developments, and literature. Regarding rules, Dr. Froula emphasized, “There will always be pros and cons of rules. In general, I find the rules we have here very good and appreciate everyone’s compliance.”

Questions also inquired about the progress of the library renovations and plans for some of the unused campus buildings. To the excitement of many, Dr. Froula said that the plan for the new library in Bolger was well under way, and gave some sneak peeks at potential future projects.

Finally, students asked about lighter topics, including Dr. Froula’s favorite work of literature outside of the curriculum: The White Company, by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. As the evening ended, students left with a greater understanding and appreciation of their assistant dean, excited to see what new developments would come in coming years.
