The Student Assistance Center split this semester to create the Student Development Center and Services for Students with Disabilities. It was a split that left an opening for a new director.
Marshall Jackson is in the middle of his first semester as interim director of the Student Development Center, which offers students assistance with daily life at the University of Kansas. Jackson was previously the administrative associate for the Student Assistance Center.
The decision for a permanent director will be announced about Dec. 15th, Jackson said.
Until then, it is work as usual at the center.
"We are not making any real changes," Jackson said. "We are trying to maintain the programs that we had as the Student Assistance Center, although we may sponsor a new workshop for new and transfer students."
Jackson said that he was consid.
ering a program to refamiliarize new and transfer students with the resources on campus.
"They get a lot of information during orientation," he said. "But at that time, they don't really know the resources they are going to need."
The program is still in its planning stages, but Jackson said something concrete may be done in the middle of November.
"It's hard to make a firm foundation for the program because we don't know who will be the director in the spring," he said. "But, I do have some ideas of things I would like to do."
For example, the office is considering publishing a new brochure to outline the changes that have been made.
And next week, the LesBiGay Trans issues laison will be appointed.
"The liaison will serve to help raise the consciousness of the University about the gay community," he said. "They will also help to sponsor programs and help support Queers and Allies."
Fred McElhenie, associate director of student housing, said he often worked with Jackson because they dealt with similar issues.
"Marshall is an individual that has been pressed into this kind of position before," McEhlenie said. "I know he will do a very good job."
life, said that Jackson's 27 years of experience in working with University students contributed to his appointment at the Student Assistant Center. Jackson also served as interim director of the University's Office of Minority Affairs from 1989 to 1991. He earned a bachelor's
degree in social welfare in 1970 and a master's degree in education in 1889, both from the University.

"He brings a wealth of experience to the department of student life, and he knows what is expected to accommodate the students," Kitchen said.
Little shop of horrors
Natalie Slater, Wichita sophomore, and Kristy Merritt, St. Louis sophomore, look through Halloween costumes in Super Target, 3201 Iowa St. The shopping trip arose from plans to attend a costume party Friday night. Merritt planned to be a deer because her boyfriend planned to dress as a hunter, but Slater still was undecided about her costume. Photo by Roger Nomer/KANSAN
