“I want people of every walk of life to feel like they belong here [at FSCJ] . . . Our shared goal we have is that we want this to be a remarkable learn-ing experience for anyone who walks through these doors,” said newly ap-pointed President Cynthia Bioteau.

Bioteau came to FSCJ from Salt Lake Communi-ty College in Utah, where she served as president for nearly nine years.

To become more famil-iar with the students and faculty at FSCJ, Bioteau began, like many of us, by exploring campuses. “I’ve been walking halls and talking to students when I come upon them, to just introduce myself, first and foremost,” she said, and welcomes open con-versation with everyone involved with FSCJ.

Bioteau greatly encour-ages further cooperation with the various student government groups, local and student media, fac-ulty, administration, and most importantly, stu-dents and their families.

To this effect, she men-tioned a student photo gallery opening she at-tended Tuesday, Jan. 21, at Kent Campus, where

she spoke to some par-ents of the artists whose works were on display.

“That inter-generational pride of being connected to FSCJ is just so instru-mental to me. To make sure I never forget that we have to have the high-est of expectations for all of us and, most impor-tantly, the highest expec-tations for the learning experience that we give students,” she said.

She believes it is a mission critical for state colleges to continually improve access and ap-proachability as FSCJ has demonstrated by launch-ing ten new baccalaureate degrees.

As head of the executive branch of FSCJ, Bioteau will help create, examine, challenge, and enforce policy and operations in the college.

“Leadership is truly relational and in order for me to be a good leader, I have to have built re-lationships with all of those within the college and the community,” she said. “If you have mutual respect through relation-ships ahead of time, it is a much more healthy conversation.”

She expects to have multi-faceted conversa-tions as well. “We will,” she continued, “because

part of the glory of insti-tutions of higher educa-tion is that it is a safe place for discourse and discussion and disagree-ment.”

Remarking back to her presidency at Salt Lake Community College, she would like FSCJ to broad-en input in building the fiscal budget.

“Rather than have a budget developed just by the . . . executive cabinet, I would like to spread an understanding of the bud-get and how we construct it and get input from the college at large,” she said.

FSCJ’s next fiscal year budget planning will un-fold around April.

Since the new FSCJ web-site rollout, Bioteau has heard concerns about its functions. The previous system was dated, she concluded, and moderniz-ing FSCJ’s software is one of her top priorities.

The new FSCJ website “is a way of doing busi-ness, a way of using technology to become far more efficient and effec-tive in how we encour-age students to register for classes, how they can check grades mid-term, how they can do degree audits . . . even how we orientate new employ-ees,” she said.

Knowing the students,

faculty, and administra-tion of FSCJ is one task, but understanding the cultural makeup of North-east Florida is another challenge entirely, and she is glad to accept it.

In her short time in Jacksonville, Bioteau has met with Governor Scott and Mayor Brown and talked with various regional media, industry and community leaders

to share why FSCJ re-mains vital to the eco-nomic health of Northeast Florida.

Finally, Bioteau will host, beginning in Febru-ary, “Pizza with the Presi-dent,” an event where students may inquire about a variety of topics in an open forum. Check the events calendar for locations and times.

With the new start of the semester, FSCJ students face new password precautions.

FSCJ has recently taken new online security measures to ensure its members’ cyber safety.

According to the Florida Auditor General’s office, students and faculty must update their passwords every 60 days. This has caused

irritation amongst the student body.

“Personally, I do not understand it. Refreshing passwords so often seems a bit much. Maybe if they did it every 90 days it would be better,” said Shenai Hylton, an FSCJ student.

President Cynthia Bioteau felt that this update was positive, but empathized with students. “I am sorry, changing your password constantly can be bothersome.

But know that I have to change mine every 60 days too.”

Despite this hassle, FSCJ secures its students and staff’s online health. Students are encouraged to create complex passwords that are easy to remember, but difficult to guess. It is highly discouraged to use previous passwords from other services. In today’s cyber world, safety is most important but hard to come by.

Recording artists Doug Wood and Tara Hanish performed tunes from their enchanting debut al-bum Cellocentric at North Campus from noon until 1 p.m. on Jan. 13. Sounds from Hanish’s cello and Wood’s guitar and mando-lin echoed throughout the campus capturing the ears of students and faculty alike. Dozens surrounded the North Campus plaza to hear the works of these gifted musicians.

Doug Wood has per-formed at over 400 col-lege concerts and won Best Instrumentalists from CampusAwards.com. He has been featured on Applause, PBS’s arts program, performed live on NPR’s Echoes and River City Folk programs, and his song “Cat Dance” was

played on the “Late Night Show with David Letter-man.”

Tara Hanish has played music across the globe including Europe, South America, Central America, and the United States. She has performed inside of local bars, music festivals, recital halls, and even the Grammy Awards. Hanish has a Masters degree in cello performance and is a member of the New Direc-tions Cello Association, Cleveland Cello Society, and the American Federa-tion of Musicians. She has performed along with the Foo Fighters and Kanye West.

It can be easily deter-mined within the first 15 seconds of listening to their music, both are mas-ters of their craft. And like thousands of musicians alike, the love for music came to them at an early

age. “I wanted to be a rock

star, it was before my teen years”, said Wood, “At 11 or 12 I wanted to be a rock star, that inspired me to be a guitarist, because I grew up playing trumpet. There’s a whole instru-mental finger style gui-tar genre, that I grew up listening to and appreciat-ing, so that influenced a lot of my writing as well.”

“My mom was a mu-sician and she had me starting piano when I was 5, and I wanted start cello because my cousin played violin & I actually wanted to play violin and there was an opportunity to just sit in and try a cello and, once I sat down with it, that’s all I wanted to do,” Hanish said.

Doug Wood is also a part of a trio called, Guys With Guitars, along with fellow guitarist Ben Lapps

and Darren Frate. “Guys with Guitars is kind of an idea to have three solo guys playing up on stage playing each other’s songs, and also collabo-rating to make it more of an exciting concert, than one guy playing guitar”, said Wood. Darren Frate also contributed to the album Cellocentric where he plays bass.

The two artists are beginning their Cellocen-tric Tour to inform others of the new album and to share their musical experi-ence. “Each song has its own personality. I’m one of those musicians that creates songs out of expe-riences,” explains Wood. “The reason why I’m the musician, is because I want to share my musical experience, with my expe-rience musically.”

“It’s awesome”, ex-plains student Kyanna Carter, “I like how he plays the guitar.”

“It’s powerful”, said student ambassador La-Taiseana Chives.

Singles of Cellocentric are now available on Ama-zon.com and the entire al-bum is available at doug-woodmusic.com. “I think our music transcends a lot of different styles,” explains Wood, “Tara’s music invokes a lot of classical elements into it; sometimes my music solo has classical elements to it. Up on stage, we’re us-ing a lot of references that have been used by pop music.”

I’ve planned more than a hand-ful of events in my lifetime. At the time, picking balloons for surprise birthday parties, coor-dinating who’s standing in line for movie outings, and picking a hotel for a weekend Disney vacation all seemed like so much work. I was so very wrong think-ing these would be the most stressful things I ever planned. I love that I’m getting married, but planning a wedding is rather stressful.

Everyone always needs the bride. Always. What chicken do you want, breast or tenderloins? Are silk roses or velvet roses okay? Is it okay if I bring a date? So many questions and there’s only one of me. Sometimes I don’t even know the answers yet or I could care less which one is picked. Velvet or silk, I mean come on, just pick one, its roses. As long as it’s red, I’m fine. Of course Billy, my fiancé, does help sometimes when I really need him to but often times when asked a questions he replies with “whatever you want honey,”

which drives me completely insane. I also never know what I want when vendors ask me ques-tions but at least I’m not the only one.

“Personally my least favorite is trying to explain what I want to vendors because I might have a hundred ideas that I like and not really know what is possible or what even goes together. Also, I don’t know jack about flowers,” says Jocelyn Tolbert, also a bride to be.

There are fun parts to planning a wedding though. My favorites

are showing off my ring, picking out things for our future home, and smiling when Billy calls me his future wife. I also love get-ting all dressed up and taking pictures that say “Hey we’re engaged!”

“My favorite [part] is planning stuff with Jake and thinking of our life together,” Bethany Hatch-er, another bride planning her wedding, told me and I complete-ly agree.

Billy and I both love going to Target and picking out lamps, choosing bath towels and pick-

ing out cute decorations that we have no idea where we will put. It’s times like those when I re-member exactly why I’m getting married.

It’s not so my family can watch me get all dolled up and pretty. It isn’t so my Maid of Honor, can tell everyone she’s the boss. It isn’t even so our families can meet and join as one. It’s be-cause I love my fiance so much that I plan on spending the rest of my life with him and that alone makes all this stressful planning worth it.

Saying ‘I do’ to the stress of planning a wedding

I love Disney movies more than the average six year old girl, and I’m ok with that. I will listen to Disney channels on Pandora and Spotify as I am doing homework. The music and soundtracks to these movies just make me happy. I sing along with them, and other people my age think I am crazy, but again I am ok with that.

I recently saw Frozen, and must admit it is the best ani-mated Disney movie since Lion King (which is my favorite Disney movie). The songs were great, the message they conveyed in the movie was amazing, and it was hilarious. My Disney obsession

really makes me think some-times, “Why do I love Disney so much?” Of course the quality of their parks and movies is unpar-alleled, but what else is it about Disney that makes me so happy? Then I figured it out.

We all have so many things to stress us out these days, between school and our personal lives. So naturally we find ways to unwind and relax. I enjoy sports as a way to get my mind off of things. But maybe listening to these Disney songs and movies is another way to do that. They bring back memories of simpler times; times before friends and boy drama, times before going to work every day, times before being up to your eyeballs in school work.

Sometimes it is ok to be a kid again. Not in a creepy way or a way so that you ignore respon-sibilities, but in a way to remind you that you don’t need to take everything so seriously all the time. There are simple truths in Disney movies that we tend to miss. Friendship, family and-sacrifice are just a few of those lessons.

So, Hakuna Matata. Enjoy life, because one day you wake up and realize your childhood is

gone. Or maybe that has already happened to you. All I know is I am a big girl now, time to take on a lot more responsibilities. But being able to listen to the Tan-

gled soundtrack every now and then is a simple way to remind me to have fun and make every moment count.
