For information on my courses for the fall 2009 semester:

The complete schedule of fall 2009 courses at the Madison Campus are now available from our Coursefinder at the FDU main page.

For driving directions to FDU...

from N, S, E, or W, click here. If you want to take the train into New York City, NJ Transit provides MidTOWN Direct service between Madison Station and Penn Station, NY. Times between Madison Station and New York's Penn Station are updated several times a year. This link is current as of May 27, 2009. If you want to try out the NYC Transit (subway) lines from Penn Station, you can get up to the theatre district very easily. Also, you can get information about the entire NYC Transit system including maps, stations, schedules, and fares.

For data about the chemical elements...

visit the WebElements (see button below) site. This is Mark Winter's (Univ. of Sheffield) award-winning on-line Periodic Table of the Elements and is particularly useful because it is one of the few sources of the CORRECT version of the modern Periodic Table. For links to other useful chemistry sites, click here!

FDU Faculty...

might be interested in viewing the Bylaws of the Madison Campus Faculty (approved 1995), the Bylaws of the Becton College Faculty (approved 1989), or the 2000 version of the Faculty Handbook . A new (2007) version is in preparation. [The current FDU Faculty governance system, approved by the Faculty on April 4, 2001, and also by the Board of Trustees, went into effect September 1, 2001.]
