Assessment Tools Used: N/A Extent of Accomplishments: N/A Unexpected Results: N/A 1.1.1.0.2.1: The Community Relations Team will
collaborate in the development of a marketing and communications
plan.
Accomplishment Extent: Objective Met Marketing Plan Steering Committee formed; six subcommittees addressing curriculum and delivery, external relations, recruitment, enrollment and retention, internal relations, and finance each conducted an institutional audit and analysis of marketing efforts. Plan developed, written, and presented to President’s Council, Implementation begins FY 2002-03 with review to follow. Assessment Tools Used: The plan was completed with objectives being incorporated into Community Relations work plan and that of other departments/division. Extent of Accomplishments: N/A Unexpected Results: Development of the Marketing Plan was a collaborative effort, which facilitated several new working relationships. This was a significant achievement 1.1.1.0.2.2: The Community Relations Team will market alternative access to classes and new registration technologies. Accomplishment Extent: Objective Met Online registration, phone registration and distance learning (Web-based classes, telecourses) promoted through Schedule of Classes, press releases, ads and on RCC TV. Assessment Tools Used: The volume of material produce is one measure; another is that distance education enrollment is up 60 percent; Web-based registration is up 6.767 percent from the previous year and telephone registration is up 67.8 percent. Extent of Accomplishments: N/A Unexpected Results: N/A 1.1.1.0.2.3: The Community Relations Team will establish priorities for allocation of resources available for marketing, publications, and community events. Accomplishment Extent: Objective Partially Met We have collected two years of data regarding resource allocation for marketing purposes. Along with goal-setting and development of a marketing plan, this data has allowed us to establish priorities and has contributed to better budgeting. Assessment Tools Used: Developed budget for each advertising media used. Extent of Accomplishments: Will continue to refine budgeting of marketing dollars; will continue to promote cost sharing with other departments for department-specific projects. Counseling Objective 1.1.1.0.1: In order to meet
the increased needs of night and weekend students, the placement
test and orientation teams will increase night and weekend
offerings from 2 to 5 per term per campus beginning July 1,
2001 to June 15, 2002.
Accomplishment Extent: Objective Met Students during the academic year 2001-2002 have had more “non-traditional” access to the Placement Test than students in 2000-2001. Assessment Tools Used: Outlook calendars reflect staff schedules; web sign up for placement testing reflects increased night and weekend offerings. Enrollment Services Objective 1.1.1.0.1: Enrollment
Services will systematize the admissions application and entry
documentation procedure for all students and particularly distributed
education students by developing an on-line admission process
by Fall 2001 with the goal of increasing use by 30%.
Accomplishment Extent: Objective Partially Met Working with Information Technology, the Counseling Department and Financial Aid, Enrollment Services has systematized the admission application process so that it is transparent to all degree-seeking students, not just those taking distributed education classes. Program students (those seeking admission) enter the college via the placement test or the placement test waiver. The data used to identify admissibility is evaluated programmatically and the determination is made without review by a paper process. Students are automatically admitted or they are advised about how they can meet the admission eligibility requirements via a letter generated at the time they get their placement test results. Assessment Tools Used: The principal route for admission to the college is through our automated admission system. Almost al of the program major students are admitted in this way. Others have been admitted as they register for Business and Community Learning Services classes or in rare cases they are admitted via acceptance of an alternate approved testing instrument. Unexpected Results: This process, unlike a paper process is invisible to students and instantaneous once the demographic information or placement test results are quantified online or at the placement test. There is no bottleneck in admissions to keep prospective students waiting before they enroll. Enrollment Services staff time is better used on other services to students. Budget is saved by not using postage and triplicate admission forms. This was a significant achievement Financial Aid Objective 1.1.1.0.1: The Financial
Aid Department will share prospective student data with the
Admissions office to be used in contacting students who have
indicated an interest in RCC. This can be done systematically
when a prospective student file is designed and implemented.
Last year, 54% of our financial aid applicants actually attended
and received financial aid awards by the end of the academic
year. We hope that marketing efforts directed toward these
interested students will increase this by 3%.
Accomplishment Extent: Objective Not Met We will need to revist this goal. Assessment Tools Used: N/A Extent of Accomplishments: Beginning Summer 02-03, pursue above stated marketing plan. Unexpected Results: N/A Administration Objective 1.1.2.0.1: Student Services
Administration, in collaboration with the Cultural Diversity
Task Force, will increase recruitment of historically underrepresented
populations by actively recruiting and promoting RCC at high
schools, middle school and grade schools
Accomplishment Extent: Objective Met Student Services received Hispanic outreach baseline data from the Human Resources Department. Jose Chavez was hired under the Student Services budget (Office of Diversity) to do high school outreach in Jackson County. Student Services in cooperation with the Office of Diversity is co-sponsoring the high school outreach conference Spring Term 2002. In the future, efforts will be extended to other non-represented groups. Assessment Tools Used: Jose Chavez provided high school outreach services to high school students, including Hispanic, to 8 high schools in Jackson County. Several visits have been made to each school. This was a significant achievement Counseling Objective 1.1.2.0.1: In order to support
the advising model at RCC and to maintain the current level
of advisor expertise, counseling will provide one level 1 advisor
training, and two level 2 advisor trainings per term per campus
for the academic year 2001-02.
Accomplishment Extent: Objective Partially Met One level one and two level two advisor trainings were offered the 2001- 2002 academic year. Assessment Tools Used: Outlook calendars and Teaching Learning Center scheduling calendar. Extent of Accomplishments: Leah Huff has put the Advising manual in HTML format and Mollie Owens-Stevenson is creating Advisor training online, using WEB CT. This format will be ready for general use Fall 2002. Unexpected Results: Reformatting of delivery and content resulted in the attempt to provide trainings the traditional way. With 185 system users having varying levels of computer competency and advising skill it has become impractical to continue to provide level 1 and level 2 trainings using the methods and formats of the past. General trainings will be provided in class or online be academic departments. Shadowing and level 2 trainings will be provided by counseling liaisons in the department. New Level 3 trainings will be provided to academic department heads. Counseling Objective 1.1.2.0.2: Because we feel
it is important for all staff at RCC to be knowledgeable and
have confidence dealing with crisis situations on campus, counseling
will offer two one-hour trainings, per campus during the academic
year 2001-2002.
Accomplishment Extent: Objective Met All RCC staff had the opportunity to attend two workshops that provided specific strategies to help deal with difficult students in and out of the classroom. Assessment Tools Used: Rogue Community College inservice agendas reflect that Counseling Department Staff Pam Howard, Gaia Layser, Barb Stein, and Ed Gangner provided two one-hour trainings. One fall and one spring term. Discovery Programs Objective 1.1.2.0.1: Discovery
Programs will collect statistics on FTE generation to respond
to retention losses due to program changes in 2000-01. The
baseline data for this statistical collection is being developed
in 00-01. The outcomes of the two years will be compared to
determine if additional changes to program structures are needed.
Accomplishment Extent: Objective Met DP staff has collected and compiled a set of statistics that compare the current year with last year. The FTE has increased substantially due to program format changes implemented last spring (increase number of credits/hours program classes) and due to higher enrollment numbers for first term students and a high retention percentage for second term students. Assessment Tools Used: DP staff is working with college statistician to standardize the statistical collection of the program to match the college’s system. This was a significant achievement Enrollment Services Objective 1.1.2.0.1: In an
effort to retain students and help them finish their programs,
Enrollment Services will contact candidates for graduation
who do not complete their program within one term after their
stated completion goal. Approximately 20 graduate candidates
do not complete and do not re-enroll. Enrollment Services will
work with these and the Student Success team to help them meet
their completion goal. Enrollment Services hopes to cut the
attrition rate to 10 students.
Accomplishment Extent: Objective Not Met There were 327 candidates for graduation in June 2001. At the end of Summer term 2001 there were 91students who had not met their projected program completion date goal. Over the following three terms, these students were contacted by Enrollment Services staff and Retention staff and offered assistance to meet their goal. New completion plans were formulated and the students were tracked. As of April 26, 2002 twenty-two of those contacted will complete their program by June 14, 2002. Twenty-four percent of the non-completers finished their program within one year of their stated goal. Assessment Tools Used: Counted the number of non-completers for June 2001 and tracked their completion within the 01-02 academic year. Unexpected Results: I discovered that students abandon or change their goals for many valid personal and financial reasons and are willing to put their education on hold. Financial Aid Objective 1.1.2.0.1: The Financial
Aid Department will analyze our Satisfactory Academic Progress
policy to determine if RCC is more stringent than required
by law. If possible, we will allow marginal students to continue
additional terms on a probationary status. Currently, approximately
250 students per term are suspended from financial aid eligibility.
We could feasibly reduce financial aid suspensions by 30%.
Accomplishment Extent: Objective Met The original goal was to reduce financial aid suspensions by 30%. We have exceeded this goal for the last four terms since the change in policy: Spring 2001 251 unsatisfactory progress 120 eligible for auto probationary term 48% Fall 2001 273 unsatisfactory progress 121 eligible for auto probationary term 44% Summer 2001 90 unsatisfactory progress 41 eligible for auto probationary term 46% Winter 2002 328 unsatisfactory progress 137 eligible for auto probationary term 42% Assessment Tools Used: The Financial Aid Department analyzed our policy and changed it to be less stringent. The IT department extracts the data to determine who is counted as Unsatisfactory Progress & who is eligible for an Automatic Probationary term. Utilizing the IT Departments data, we are able to remove human error and have permanent record of the data needed to make this assessment. Extent of Accomplishments: N/A Unexpected Results: Each student who is made eligible for an automatic probation term produces FTE. Example: Spring 2001, 120 students were not suspended from financial aid eligibility. Of these students, 41 enrolled in summer term for 356 credits, eligible FTE was 5.58, for a total of $12,843.92. Of the 120 from spring, an additional 37 enrolled in fall term for a total of 407 credits, eligible FTE was 6.38, for a total of $14,683.92 This was a significant achievement Student Employment Objective 1.1.2.0.1: Student
Employment Services, in collaboration with the newly restructured
career team, will assess and develop employment skills delivery
to better serve a broad range of students. The new model will
be implemented in 2002-03 and will be focused towards increasing
student retention and meeting both the on-site and off-site
career needs of students.
Accomplishment Extent: Objective Met It was the original intention of this goal to plan during 01-02 and implement during 02-03. However the career team planned and implemented Saturday, Web-Based and Modular delivery HD 60 & 65 courses during 01-02. The modular structure did not work in the initial format due to the sequential nature of the curriculum and it was not as “easy in, easy out” as anticipated. The career team will continue to fine-tune this approach in 02-03. Assessment Tools Used: Assessment has been measured by counting the number of distributed or alternative delivery sections planned and offered during 01-02. Unexpected Results: The identified need for job shadow experiences resulted from this work. Student Life Objective 1.1.2.0.1: Staff members
involved in Student Life will develop a training plan for student
interns who will be available to offer campus tours and represent
Rogue Community College at high school visitations by spring,
2002.
Accomplishment Extent: Objective Met Student Life Assistants have participated in many high school outreach efforts. Upon evaluation of one student life assistant at the end of winter quarter, however, it was decided that the student could not fulfill her responsibilities. More time commitment is needed by these students. Assessment Tools Used: Student Life assistants were hired fall quarter and trained by high school outreach staff, the student life coordinator and 2+2 staff. Quarterly evaluations of the students’ work were done and dates collected addressing the number of tours offered, number of individuals in the tours, and the number of students at the high schools with whom the Student Life Assistants spoke. Student Life Assistants have spoken to over 400 high school students this year and offered tours to approximately 100 students between both campuses. Unexpected Results: Student Life Assistants are now offering GED orientation tours to all new students on the RWC and to Bright Futures and Moving On students. This was a significant achievement Art Galleries Objective 1.1.3.0.1: The Galleries
will participate in planning and researching on how current
and upcoming gallery activities can be counted at FTE.
Accomplishment Extent: Objective Not Met We found that FTE has several restrictions and that it is not possible for us to receive FTE for many of the gallery functions that are vital to an active gallery program. Assessment Tools Used: None were used as it was determined to not be possible. Extent of Accomplishments: No further steps will be taken at this time. Discovery Programs Objective 1.1.3.0.1: Discovery
Programs will collaborate with local domestic violence agencies
and the corrections system to implement one class offering
that is a collaborative effort between RCC and these organizations.
The class will include self- assessment, career exploration,
and educational goal setting. Using a Human Development (HD)
number, the efforts will bring in at least 1 FTE in during
one term of 2001-02.
Accomplishment Extent: Objective Partially Met Discovery Programs applied for and received a grant from Trust Management Services for $8,000 to fund the NEST project: Next Educational Steps in Transition. Working in collaboration with staff from Dunn House and Women’s Crisis Support Team, a series of workshops has been developed with a start up in Feb. 2002. Assessment Tools Used: The Spring Term workshop has not concluded, so FTE cannot be calculated. Extent of Accomplishments: Final data will be available at the end of Spring Term. This was a significant achievement Financial Aid Objective 1.1.3.0.1: Qualified
Financial Aid Department staff will be given the opportunity
to teach at least one HD class relevant to our field. (ex.
financial management and budgeting, or scholarship search).
If no classified staff volunteer, either the Assistant Director
or the Associate Dean will teach the class.
Accomplishment Extent: Objective Not Met Financial aid staff was not able to dedicate the time needed to reach this goal due to implementing two new systems/software within this academic year. Assessment Tools Used: N/A Extent of Accomplishments: New systems will have been in place & familiar by 2002-03. Timeline not available, but goal to be reviewed for new year. Unexpected Results: N/A Student Employment Objective 1.1.3.0.1: Student
Employment Services, in collaboration with instructional departments,
will develop and implement Vibrant Communities, an integrated
service learning program. Service learning helps to strengthen
retention and assist students build the job skills they need
to be successful, encourage leadership, active citizenship
and community involvement, as well as provide the relevancy
of academic basics to the real world. In the first year, we
expect at least 15 students to contribute at least 1,000 hours
of total service to local nonprofit and governmental agencies
while earnings college credit.
Accomplishment Extent: Objective Partially Met The Vibrant Communities program has met its goal of serving 15 students (22 duplicated) in year 1. The numbers of service hours, 588, are considerably short of the 1000 hours anticipated. We experienced typical new activity issues in terms of getting the message out to students what the courses were about and the commitment required. Assessment Tools Used: Assessment tools used to measure this objective are the number of enrolled students in the Vibrant Communities courses and the number of service hours in which student participated in service activities. Extent of Accomplishments: SES will continue it’s marketing efforts of Vibrant Communities at both RWC and RVC in 02-03. We will continue to send letters to students in their final year of the their programs, work more closely with TRIO students, be visible in the student centers and initiate other targeted marketing efforts. We will collaborate with instructional program advisors to increase their understanding and commitment to the program. We have also consolidated the HD151, 152,153 courses into one course, HD 153, in response to student’s feedback and low enrollment concerns. We will evaluate the effectiveness of this change for 03-04. Unexpected Results: We did not anticipate as low an enrollment, that some students did not continue through the sequence, the high interest from the advisory committee and from community partners interested in having our students participate in their activities and organizations. This was a significant achievement Student Employment Objective 1.1.3.0.2: Through
more efficient utilization of faculty and staff, as well as
possible new program introductions, Student Employment Services
will increase the number of new students participating in Professional
and Occupational Skills Programs to account for an increase
of at least 6 FTE.
Accomplishment Extent: Objective Not Met The goal of 60.88 FTE, which represented 6 more FTE than 01-02, was not reached for a variety of reasons. First, program processes had broken down with the increasing numbers of students. Second, perceived workload issues for program faculty has increased as well as the effects of the potential loss of a faculty member due to budget cuts. Lastly, the receipt of an OST grant from VRD happened late in the summer as well as the hiring of the transition support position which led to a later than expected ramp-up of the grant activity and resulting anticipated FTE. Assessment Tools Used: Assessment is based on program generated FTE. Extent of Accomplishments: In late 2001, we formed an OST/PST/EST advisory committee in response to program issues. In addition, we have formed an internal working team of faculty, staff and management to review program goals and define process that meets current student and institutional needs and is based on realistic resource allocation. A result of this work will be a program handbook which will clarify the roles of department members, define program processes, and defines reasonable outcomes based on our current operating environment. Unexpected Results: An unexpected outcome was lack of clarity around the goal itself even though all members of the SES team participated in its creation. Student Life Objective 1.1.3.0.1: Student life
staff members will develop curricula that will allow for cooperative
education credit for students engaged as Student Life interns.
Possible talent grants or tuition reimbursement money would
be needed for these students.
Accomplishment Extent: Objective Partially Met While these positions were marketed via mailings to all registered students who were at a WR115 level and had graduated within the past three years and through student employment, we did not receive a large number of applicants. Do you consider this a significant achievement in your division/department? Assessment Tools Used: Students right now are receiving tuition reimbursement through a foundation grant awarded for 01-02. There is curricula available if this were to become a credited course or one that a student wished to earn CWE credit. Extent of Accomplishments: More marketing needs to be done for recruitment of Student Life Assistants or for potential CWE credit through a Student Life Program. Administrative Services Goal 1.2.1: Administrative
Services will provide needed infrastructure support to assist in
growth.
1.2.1.1: Administrative Services will provide additional
on-line services to provide easier access for students and staff
to College services.
Business and Community Learning Services Goal 1.2.1: Expand
divisional learning services.
Accomplishment Extent: Objective Partially Met This year the IT Department has brought online the following services: · Student employment application processing for jobs on campus and in the community as well as the ability for businesses to post jobs on our web site · Programmed Course Request within Student Resources. This allows instruction to capture demographics on students to follow-up on requests when a new class is added. · Worked with Counseling Department and Community Relations to develop a Student Life Activity calendar to post student and community activities. Both departments will be able to post events directly to the web site. · Developed a high school outreach site for potential students. The site includes information regarding, GED, HS credit makeup, free tuition award, 2+2, etc. · Transfer student web site. · FERPA online test. · Strategic Planning process upgrade. · RCC Foundation E-commerce site · OWL · SOSGAP Assessment Tools Used: The calendar is being used daily to post student and community information. Measurement would be in terms of better attendance at college-wide events. The 2+2 web site activity is measured in the increased number of students applying for college credit which promotes the need to download demographics from the H.S.'s and provide an easier method for enrolling students. Student employment is measured by the hits on the site, they are at the top of the list with regard to hit on any one RCC web site. Extent of Accomplishments: The online Course Request is finished but needs to be linked to the web site and the data needs to go to the appropriate person or persons. This is something we need to work with instructional on. Unexpected Results: Some online processess are more of an efficient way of doing business but have no real impact such as the RCC Foundation E-commerce site. It just isn't being used. The SOSGAP information is another process that we were asked to do but the information is not being looked at. The FERPA quiz was used at the last inservice. This was a significant achievement 1.2.1.1: BCLS will expand its divisional learning
services to accommodate 497 FTE in 2001-02.
Developmental Studies Goal 1.2.1: Developmental Studies will
increase FTE over 2000-01 by 1.5%, an overall increase of 18 FTE,
by creating new programs, expanding existing programs and improving
the quality of services to meet the needs of basic skills students,
developmental education students, and credit-enrolled students accessing
the tutoring centers.
Accomplishment Extent: Objective Partially Met Through mid-spring term, we were at 478 FTE. Assessment Tools Used: FTE count. Extent of Accomplishments: Enrollment is continuing through end of term. This was a significant achievement ABE / GED Objective 1.2.1.0.1: The ABE Department
will collaborate with Head Start, Transiciones Program and
public schools to provide family literacy programs in both
Josephine and Jackson Counties to increase FTE by 1.0.
Accomplishment Extent: Objective Met By week three of Spring Term 2002, an increase of slightly 3 FTE has been generated over the FTE generation by the family literacy program in 2000-2001. Assessment Tools Used: Developmental Studies Division FTE records for 2000-01 and 2001-02 were used. List of cooperating agencies and schools where family literacy classes are offered. This was a significant achievement ABE / GED Objective 1.2.1.0.2: By September 2001
the ABE and Developmental Education departments will implement
new tracker program for all Developmental Studies program to
more accurately capture FTE.
ABE / GED Objective 1.2.1.0.3: The ABE Department
will develop new self-paced and group delivered basic computer
literacy skill instruction curriculum in ABE by Fall 2001 to
increase FTE by 1.0.
Accomplishment Extent: Objective Partially Met Carolyn Chancler initiated a new computer class at Fir Street Learning Center. A team of ABE instructors are designing a curriculum to meet the requirements of Oregon's Basic Skill descriptors for Technology and will pilot it Summer Term 2002. Assessment Tools Used: Class schedules, Total hours of class time and number enrolled. Extent of Accomplishments: Complete Jackson County curriculum and pilot Summer 2002. Implement Josephine County technology grant if successful Fall, Winter, Spring 2002-03. This was a significant achievement ABE / GED Objective 1.2.1.0.4: By Winter 2002,
the ABE Department will implement two video broadcast series, “On
Common Ground” and “GED 2002” and generate
2.5 new FTE.
Accomplishment Extent: Objective Partially Met As research progresed, it was decided to intorduce a hybrid model of distance learning. Students met as a group with an instructor and then watched "On Common Ground" or "Crossroads Cafe" at home by video meeting. The State did not yet invest in the GED 2002 broadcast license, GED Connections. Assessment Tools Used: Class schedules and student enrollment in classes. Extent of Accomplishments: The goal has changed a little. We will continue the hybrid model until we have invested enough time to assess its effectiveness and cost. We will work with ODCCWD and local partners to find a way to purchase broadcast licenses for "GED Connections". Unexpected Results: The State decided not to purchase a Statewide license to broadcast "GED Connections". This was a significant achievement ABE / GED Objective 1.2.1.0.5: The ABE Department
will expand the College Connections class and other ABE transitional
activities to recruit an additional 20 students enrolling in
college credit courses from the ABE program by June 30, 2002.
Accomplishment Extent: Objective Partially Met We won't know for sure until next year if enrollment increases by 20. Assessment Tools Used: Institutional research looked at the number of students who enrolled in ABE programs during the last three years - over 8,000. They then looked at how many of those students have been enrolled in credit classes. This school year, over 1,000 (13.8%) of the ABE students are currently enrolled. This will be our benchmark from which to work next year. This was a significant achievement Developmental Education Objective 1.2.1.0.1:
The Developmental Education Department will schedule DE classes
for capacity enrollment to increase FTE by 4 FTE.
Accomplishment Extent: Objective Met We set a goal to increase FTE by 4. As of mid April we had exceeded our goal and increased FTE by 10.88 Assessment Tools Used: FTE reports were used to measure our objective. This was a significant achievement Developmental Education Objective 1.2.1.0.2:
The Developmental Education Department will increase tutoring
center FTE by 5 through increased internal marketing activities.
Accomplishment Extent: Objective Met We set an objective to increase our FTE by 5. As of mid April we had exceeded that goal and increased FTE by 38.07 Assessment Tools Used: FTE reports were used to measure our objective. This was a significant achievement Developmental Education Objective 1.2.1.0.3:
The Developmental Education Department will develop and offer
two new online DE courses by the end of Spring 2002 to increase
FTE by 4.
Accomplishment Extent: Objective Partially Met We were able to add one new online course, SK41 and generated 3.30 FTE Assessment Tools Used: We used the schedule of classes and FTE reports to measure this objective. Extent of Accomplishments: We didn't have the resources to devote to creating two new courses. This was a significant achievement Developmental Education Objective 1.2.1.0.4:
By Spring 2002 the Developmental Education Department will
expand staffing in the tutoring centers and computer labs to
have coverage by trained staff during all open hours.
Accomplishment Extent: Objective Not Met Due to budget constraints we were not able to add any additional staffing this year. Assessment Tools Used: This was measured by the amount of time we have staff versus students working in the tutoring centers and tech labs. Extent of Accomplishments: Until our budget grows we will not be able to achieve this goal. We will continue using student workers where appropriate. Developmental Education Objective 1.2.1.0.5:
By September 2001 the ABE and Developmental Education departments
will implement new tracker program for all Developmental Studies
program to more accurately capture FTE.
Human Resources Goal 1.2.1.0.1: Human Resources
will expand staff and services to accommodate increased growth
of RCC.
1.2.1.0.1.1: Develop budget for benefits person.
Accomplishment Extent: Objective Partially Met Budget was developed for the position and presented to Executive Team. Development included identification of appropriate salary and grouping, and calculation of benefits cost. It is currently not funded. 1.2.1.0.1.2: Consolidate benefits by hiring a full-time benefits person in the Human Resources department. Accomplishment Extent: Objective Partially Met Since the proposal was not funded, Human Resources is now working with Administrative Services to co-manage benefits.

Accomplishment Extent: Objective Met Meetings have taken place. Business Services and Enrollment Services determined that establishing a “one-stop” registration and cashiering function where the same staff member both cashiered and registered students would not work. However the idea of having the cashiering and registration functions housed in the same general location was determined to be necessary. Assessment Tools Used: It was determined that it would not work for the same staff member to both cashier and register a students due to work load, responsibilities, busy times, and internal control issues.

within the Student Life plan.
Accomplishment Extent: Objective Met During this last year we attended meetings and participated in planning a few events. The Disability Awareness series of exhibits, talks, and events were well attended. Our wheelchair events on both the RWC & RVC campuses would not have happened without the aid and participation of ASRCC. In January, the Arts of Islamic Countries served to both educate us all about another set of cultures. We had well attended talks and panel discussions occurring in the fall after 911 and then in January during the exhibit at Wiseman Gallery. The galleries want to encourage arts and culture as a part of Student Life. This year was a positive sign that students were interested in not only attending but in participating in events.

Life staff to determine impacts if Transiciones is no longer
affiliated with Discovery Programs.
Accomplishment Extent: Objective Met Based on new part time staff being hired in the Office of Diversity to help with Transiciones, and Cultural Diversity Task Force, it seems likely that Transiciones will remain in Discovery Programs at this point, since it is a service for special populations. Community connections and a more comprehensive recruitment process are being developed with the additional staff. This was a significant achievement Student Life Objective 10.1.1.0.1: The Student
Life Task Force will meet monthly and develop program plans
that address the student satisfaction survey of winter, 2001.
Depending upon funding and staff a new Student Life mentorship
program will be created by spring, 2002.
Accomplishment Extent: Objective Partially Met Due to limited funding and time a mentorship program did not develop per say. However, Student Life has played a significant role in coordinating the Hispanic Education Conference sponsored by Club Latino. As a high school outreach effort by RCC Hispanic students to high school students, this in some ways is serving as a mentorship program. Also the Task Force has been invaluable as a resource to help develop and plan the concept for new student Welcome Days which is a goal for the 02-03 academic year. Assessment Tools Used: Feedback from the Student Life Task Force which only met quarterly because of limited time commitments from staff institutionally. Extent of Accomplishments: Assessment of the Hispanic Education Conference this year.

leaders. The results will be compared with information gathered
during the 2000-2001 focus groups conducted by an SOU practicum
student to determine if the new program design is meeting its
intended outcomes.
Accomplishment Extent: Objective Partially Met Moving On and Bright Futures are planning on conducting focus groups in each county spring term, to evaluate the effectiveness of the two-term model. Spring term will have two cohorts from 01-02 completed and a third cohort that will be receiving a condensed curriculum version (first and second term classes in same term due to decision to not hold classes in the summer term). This will provide a significant comparison of the student learning and comprehension of curriculum. Due to the loss of the SOU practicum student last year, no focus groups were performed. Assessment Tools Used: Assessment will be completed Summer Term 2002-03 Extent of Accomplishments: Evaluation of the program changes will be completed during the summer term of 2002-2003. This was a significant achievement Financial Aid Objective 10.4.1.0.1: Because access
to financial assistance is a genuine and primary interest to
