Today, trying to find information on asbestos in the campus buildings, I came across an awkward situation trying to speak to someone about the issue. When calling office of safety and risk management Director, Maryann Rozanski, I was left speechless when she stopped me while I was introducing myself. She actually finished my sentence for me. I guess every semester, students call asking to gather information about asbestos. This has made me realize that it is an ongoing issue on the campus and it is important that journalism students report the issue. Yearly notification letters are sent to employees so they can be aware of the presence of asbestos and it is important that students also become aware, and the job is left to students like me to inform the issue to students.
