Sept. 1, 2002 - The College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources' (CAFNR's) new student service office in the Gary Dickinson Student Achievement Center will not be occupied quite yet. Although the space itself will soon be completed, the furniture and other decorations will not be installed until late September or early October.

CAFNR Assistant to the Vice Chancellor and Dean James Hundle said the delay was due to problems with the ordering of office furniture and decorations.

"We're still planning to have our grand opening Homecoming weekend," Hundle said.

Academic Programs Office assistant Kelli Fent said she expects the delays will make the facility more ready for student and office workers alike.

"Having a delay means we'll have more chance to make sure everything works and work the bugs out if we have to," Fent said.
