1. How has your investment of the budget monies you did receive improved student learning? When
you requested the funding, you provided a rationale. In this section, assess if the anticipated
positive impacts you projected have, in fact, been realized.
Attending the National Association of Community College Entrepreneurship conference has stimulated
the development of best-in-class curriculum for our college. Funding of our Entrepreneurship Advisory
Board has enabled us to receive feedback to focus further work on developing an "entrepreneurial
mindset" as a top goal for our students--as this will serve them in any career--and to have actual
development of entrepreneurial ventures as a secondary goal.
2. What has been the impact of not receiving some of your requested funding? How has student
learning been impacted, or safety compromised, or enrollment or retention negatively impacted?
We have not been able to offer an adequate schedule of Entrepreneurship courses. Although we've
been able to cobble together external funding to offer a day section of ENTR-1 each semester, that
funding is disappearing. We also need to be able to offer a hybrid or fully on-campus section of ENTR20, Marketing for Entrepreneurs, to enable students that aren't good candidates for fully online courses
to successfully complete the program in a reasonable time.
