Farewell
I would like to thank Associate Professor Nina Raheja (Nursing) for her years of services to St.
Louis Community College and her dedication the Nursing Program. Let’s all wish her the best in
her retirement.
Strategic Priorities 2015 – 2016
1.
Engage the entire college in adopting the definition of one college.
• Reallocate resources to replace outdated equipment in labs and other areas in
the division.
2.
Strengthen identity and community awareness of STLCC.
• Increase articulation and 2 + 2 agreements with colleges and universities to
provide accessible and transparent pathways for students to continue their
education beyond the Associate Degree.
3.
Define branding and marketing of the college
• Increase awareness of the Allied Health programs that are offered at St. Louis
Community College.
Clinical Laboratory Technology
Program Description
The Clinical Laboratory Technology program is a 72-credit hour career program that prepares
students for entry-level positions as clinical/medical laboratory technicians. Employment
opportunities are widely available in hospitals, clinics, doctors’ offices, independent
laboratories, public health, research and industrial laboratories.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the occupational outlook for Clinical/Medical
Laboratory Technicians is growing much faster than average with a projected increase of 22%
(2012-2022).
In the past academic year the program served 42 students and had 12 graduates.
Program Data
The Clinical Laboratory Technology program has 1 full-time and 3 adjunct faculty members. The
program offered 14 courses and 14 sections which resulted in a total of 467 credit hours. The
total enrollment in all courses is 162.
STLCC-Forest Park 2014- 2015

Curriculum
The proposed curriculum changes are pending approval.
Assessment
The graduation rate is approximately 60% and attrition rate is approximately 30%. The other
10% are still in the program but are repeating courses and thus did not graduate with their
cohorts.
The American Society for Clinical Pathology Board of Certification results are 100% for the
graduates who have taken the certification examination.
91.6% of graduates were employed in the field within 180 days of graduation. 90% of graduates
were satisfied with their academic preparation and 92% percent of employers were satisfied
with the performance of our graduates.
A major goal of the program is to increase retention and develop articulation agreements with
four-year institutions.
Resources Needed to Meet Goals
The addition of a second full-time faculty member will allow the program to maintain
consistency and continuity in instructional delivery. It has been a challenge to maintain and
replace adjunct faculty.
Renovation of the CLT program laboratory is sorely needed. The laboratory has not been
renovated in over 40 years.
There is a need for a budget increase of $1500 to purchase supplies needed for student
laboratory sessions. Our clinical affiliates have been very generous in donating supplies. The
donations have allowed the program to maintain a consistent level of instruction.
Dental Assisting
Program Description
The Dental Technologies Department contains programs for Dental Auxiliary (Dental Assisting)
professionals. The goal of this 40-credit hour career program is to train students to be dental
healthcare professionals and provide quality oral healthcare for patients.
5|Page
STLCC-Forest Park 2014- 2015
The Dental Assisting Program consists of science-oriented courses. The biomedical sciences
provide a basic understanding of body structures and function; disease concepts; and dietary
considerations of the dental patients. These courses are as follow: Chairside Assisting;
Preclinical Practice; Dental Terminology; Infection Control; Dental Radiology; Dental Systems
Management; Dental Materials; Preventive Dental Health; Integrated Dental Sciences;
Expanded Functions (I, II, III); Dental Lab Procedures and Dental Assisting Practicum.
The program demonstrates its effectiveness through a formal and ongoing planning and
outcomes assessment process that is systematically documented and annually evaluated. The
Dental Assisting Program affords a student the opportunity to acquire the knowledge needed to
be a skilled professional. Hence, allowing the trained professional the opportunity to enter into
the job-market within as little as 10 months. Working individuals not only contribute to their
own personal growth, but also stimulates society’s overall welfare as taxpayers.
The program contains courses (i.e., Oral Communication & College Composition) that must be
completed through the general education disciplines. These general education courses are
pertinent to the students’ success in various aspects throughout the program.
The program has implemented a preadmission requirement of twenty (20) hours observing a
practicing dental assistant. Also, as an admission requirement is a drug and criminal
background checks. The observation process allows students the opportunity to receive insight
and gain knowledge relating to the ongoing changing world of dentistry. The enforced drug and
background check teaches our students about the value of accountability. These dental
assisting prerequisites are only found at the STLCC institution and this is what makes this
program unique.
The number of graduates on average is approximately 12-15 students annually.
The Dental Assisting Program accepts 24 students annually. The student-teacher ratio during
laboratory and clinical courses is approximately 6:1; respectively. This number allows each
student the privilege of receiving more individualized attention during these courses.
Department Data
Credit hour production
The total credit hours for the Dental Assisting Program are forty (40).
Number of courses/sections
The Dental Assisting program curriculum consists of a total of 23 courses.

Curriculum
The program has not implemented any changes to the current curriculum.
Effective February 28, 2013, Assistant who has been certified in expanded functions will now
have to receive a permit from the Dental Board in order to be delegated expanded functions
procedures. The new rule defines the expanded functions permit as a permit issued by the
Missouri Dental Board authorizing a dental assistant, Certified Dental Assistant or Missouri
licensed dental hygienist to perform expanded functions duties upon delegation from a
Missouri licensed dentist. Expanded Functions permits will be issued in the following
categories: Restorative I, Restorative II, Removable Prosthodontics, Fixed Prosthodontics and
Orthodontics. Currently, STLCC Dental Assisting Program offers all the above courses, with the
exception of the new Restorative II.
It is the intent of the STLCC Dental Assisting program to implement this new course (i.e.,
Restorative II) due to the enormous request from STLCC students and the general public. Due to
the rigor of an already accelerated dental assisting program, it may be ideal to offer this course
through the Continuing Education Department. The consequences of offering it during the core
program or in a Continuing Education Department can increase institutional revenue and
student enrollment. However, the dental assisting program is in the process of requesting
authorization from the Missouri Dental Board to become an Expanded Functions Course
Provider for the general public.
9|Page
STLCC-Forest Park 2014- 2015
The requirements are as follow:
1. Use course curriculum approved by the board.
2. Demonstrate that faculty at each course include at least one (1) dentist and that the
student to faculty ratios do not exceed one (1) faculty member per ten (10) students.
3. Demonstrate that adequate faculty calibration occurs to insure that educational
standards are maintained.
4. Demonstrate that adequate testing, monitoring and evaluation is in place to assure that
graduates can be certified as having attained mastery of the component skills and
concepts in a laboratory setting.
5. Demonstrate that mechanisms are in place to provide the board with data on the
outcomes of expanded functions duly dental assisting training by reporting on follow-up
blind surveys of certificated assistants, supervising dentists and patients.
Assessment
The students have demonstrated competency and preparedness in entry level dental
assistance, specialty practices, community health and expanded functions procedures.
According to advisory committee members, affiliates of private and public sectors, the program
is ranked highest in the Metropolitan area.
The program goals are to produce competent, quality entry-level dental assistants that can
provide quality dental care to the immediate community.
The Minority Scholarship for Dental Auxiliary students will be offered in fall 2015. My initiative
is to increase the minority student population in the dental assisting program. According to
census, healthcare facilities which sustain in lower social-economic communities, often lack
qualified professionals to provide adequate healthcare to their patients. The individuals
employed in various Allied Health careers are disproportionately low number of minorities.
Those individuals living in lower- social economic communities can benefit from an increase
number of healthcare providers that reside in these communities. Historically, students have
accomplished academic success when financial and academic support was made available.
Therefore, my initiative is intended to provide financial support to a worthy recipient.
The attrition rate is approximately 40%. The dental assisting program is highly science-oriented.
Therefore, exposure to general science (i.e., science prerequisites) courses prior to entering a
science based program will enhance preparedness or academic outcomes and increase
students’ retention.

Resources Needed to Meet Goals
Staffing
A part-time dental assisting lab assistant is needed for approximately 20-25 hours per week.
This position has been vacant since April 2015.
Space needs
Creating a separate didactic and clinical/laboratory setting for dental assisting will enhance
students’ learning outcomes. The additional space would serve as a simulation of the dental
practice setting.
Budget needs
Allocate additional funds to be utilized for the part-time dental assisting lab assistant. The
additional funds would be used to increase the number of hours from 20 hours to 25 hours per
week. This additional time is needed to order and prepare programmatic supplies.
Significant Faculty, Staff, and Student Accomplishments
Student
The Missouri Dental Assistants Association selected, Jessica Wibracht, to receive their
scholarship award for 2015. The recipient was awarded a scholarship in the amount of $600.00.

Faculty
Deborah Bush-Munson has been appointed to serve as Site Visitor (Curriculum Consultant) for a
period of 5 years to the Commission on Dental Accreditation of the American Dental
Association. The mission of the Commission is to, "serve the oral health care needs of the public
through the development and administration of standards that foster continuous quality
improvement of dental and dental related educational programs." The Commission relies on
the expertise of a dental educator and/or practitioner to ensure the continued success of their
mission. Site Visitors assist with the evaluation of dental or dental-related education programs.
Dental Hygiene Program
Program Description
The Dental Hygiene Program is a 74-credit hour career program that contributes to the St. Louis
Community College strategic plan by providing students a fully accredited, first class Dental
Hygiene education in a supportive, professional environment.
Prior to starting the program, all students are encouraged to complete all required general
education courses due to the time commitment required for their arduous dental hygiene
curriculum.
32 students are admitted to the Dental Hygiene Program each fall semester. Over the past five
years the number of students that graduated is as follows:
• 2015 – 33
• 2014 – 30
• 2013 – 26
• 2012 – 27
• 2011 – 32
In addition to serving the students, the Dental Hygiene Clinic serves the public providing
preventive dental hygiene care with over 1,200 patient appointments yearly. Patients are able
to access this state of the art dental hygiene care in the STLCC Forest Park Dental Hygiene Clinic
in which patients can have digital panoramic or intra-oral radiographs taken in addition to the
preventive periodontal care they receive.

STLCC-Forest Park 2014- 2015
Assessment
Student Assessment Initiatives - Students are evaluated continually with didactic exams and
clinical proficiency exams. These exams are reevaluated and modified yearly to best reflect
what materials and skills are being assessed. In addition, students are routinely asked for
feedback in their courses and clinic courses so that the student experience is factored into the
presentation of material and skills as well as the assessment of these.
Attrition - Dental hygiene student attrition has decreased since the addition of a dedicated
dental hygiene tutor in the Academic Support Center. The tutor is available every Friday
morning during the fall and spring semesters when the first year students do not have classes
scheduled. The feedback has been very positive and the decrease in attrition substantiated.
No first year students were lost from the graduating class of 2015 (33 graduates; the original 32
and 1 returning student). The current class of 2016 had 30 of 32 students matriculate from the
fall semester to the spring semester of their first year curriculum. No students have withdrawn
since as all 30 have matriculated from spring to summer semester. This compares to previous
graduating classes of 26 and 27.
Graduation Rates -32 students are admitted to the Dental Hygiene Program each fall semester.
Over the past five years the graduation rate is as follows:
• 2015 – 33 = 103%
• 2014 – 30 = 93.7%
• 2013 – 26 = 81.2%
• 2012 – 27 = 84.4%
• 2011 – 32 = 100%
Board Results - As of this date 32 of the 33 graduating dental hygiene students have taken the
National Boards with 31 passing on their first attempt for a 96.9 pass rate. 33 students took the
CRDTS clinical board with 31 passing on their first attempt for a 93.9 pass rate. Those who did
not pass are preparing to retake the exams this summer. 31 graduates have applied for and
received dental hygiene licensure in Missouri.
Job Placement – Graduate job placement varies from part-time temporary positions, to parttime positions, having multiple part-time positions and full-time positions. There continues to
be a bit of saturation in the market, however, it is expected that fewer dental hygienists will be
entering the greater St. Louis in the near future. At this time, it appears that all 2014 graduates
that desire to work are. Some of our recent 2015 graduates are already finding temporary or
permanent employment and will be immediately entering the workforce as the State of
Missouri Dental Hygiene Licenses were issue this week.
Resources Needed to Meet Goals
First and foremost, re-issuing a fifth full-time faculty position is needed to implement
progressive educational changes. An additional full-time faculty member will also relieve some
of the excessive load that the other full-time faculty now carry.
STLCC-Forest Park 2014- 2015

The Dental Hygiene Program is grateful for the technology and equipment that has been
purchased and installed over the past few years. The new Panorex machine produces excellent
images with less radiation. The quality of the images is vastly better than the old analog
machine. In addition, the incidence of having to do retakes has been drastically reduced; a win,
win all around.
The need for updating within the program continues as the classroom is sorely antiquated with
half of the chairs facing the back of the room. If students face forward to see the projection
screen, then they cannot write on the table. In addition the sterilization lab needs to be fully
renovated. A dental vendor is currently working on a design for a proposed renovation. We
will be prepared if funding becomes available. The clinic dental units are approaching 20 years
old. Several are having repeated repairs. Within a few years, we will have to anticipate
replacing the units, perhaps a bay at a time.
This past year’s budget adequately met the program’s needs. However, the CRDTS testing
funds need to be added as a line item in the budget. Every year we must hunt for funds to pay
the three employees that are required to be present during the clinical exam administration.
Significant Faculty, staff and Student Accomplishments
Student Jennie Oliver was awarded the ADA Foundation Allied Dental Student Scholarship.
Only 15 students nationwide are awarded this prestigious scholarship!
All dental hygiene students participated in the fall and spring “Give Kids a Smile” events at St.
Louis University, Center for Advanced Education. Hundreds of children received free dental
care at each of these events.
Kim Polk was promoted to Associate Professor.
Diagnostic Medical Sonography
Program Description
The 42-credit hour Diagnostic Medical Sonography program consists of a core curriculum with
three curriculum options – Cardiac Sonography, Medical Sonography and Vascular Technology.
Graduates receive a Certificate of Proficiency upon successful completion of the four semester
program. The Sonography Program chose the following strategic priority for the academic year:
Maximize strategies that enable all students to succeed.
1. Improve student retention
2. Assess, evaluate, revise, and align student learning outcomes.
15 | P a g e
STLCC-Forest Park 2014- 2015
The program’s Advisory Committee reviewed the entire curriculum this past year. Recent
employment trends indicate an increased demand for multi-certification for entry-level
employment – medical sonography and vascular technology or cardiac sonography and vascular
technology. The employer demand for Vascular Technologists has diminished during the last
three years. Therefore, the program will deactivate the Vascular Technology curriculum option
and revise the last semester course sequence to include the introductory Vascular Technology
courses.
The program’s site visit for CAAHEP reaccreditation took place on April 30 - May 1, 2015 and we
received no citations related to the current Cardiac Sonography and Medical Sonography
content. The site visitors complemented program faculty on their assessment techniques to
improve student critical thinking skills. The program hired Mr. James Wendling M.Ed., RDCS as
a full-time faculty member effective fall, 2015 in order to improve the stability and instructional
integrity of the Cardiac Sonography curriculum option.
Program Data
The class of 2014 consisted of 20 full-time students. Fifteen students graduated in December,
2014 – 75% retention rate. All 2014 graduates have passed their ARDMS examinations. All
Cardiac Sonography and Medical Sonography graduates have found jobs in Sonography. The
class of 2015 started last fall with 18 students. Three students have withdrawn from the
program as of the end of spring semester, producing a current retention rate of 83%.
Admissions forwarded applications in March for the class starting fall, 2015. The program will
admit a total of 16 full-time students – 10 in the Medical Sonography curriculum option and 6 in
the Cardiac Sonography curriculum option. Mr. Wendling will pursue additional clinical sites in
order to increase the Cardiac enrollment for fall, 2016. The minimum time on the wait list
based on current sonography student experience is approaching an average of three years after
application. The current number of students on the list is 80. The program will also have a
number of part-time students (practicing sonographers) that will start in the fall.
The program has utilized a maximum of 12 adjuncts during the fall semester. However, the
addition of a full-time faculty position for Cardiac will reduce the current number of adjunct
faculty required for the fall semester. The program will request an additional ultrasound unit
in order to enhance student attainment of basic scanning skills during campus laboratory
sessions.

Emergency Medical Technology
Program Description
The Emergency Medical Technology program offers a Certificate of Specialization with 16 credit
hours of classes. Students, upon completing the prerequisites are able to register for the EMT
classes. Although students may declare a major in Emergency Medical Technology, many do not
due to the need for financial aid. There were 20 declared majors in Emergency Medical
Technology. Five students graduated with a Certificate of Proficiency (now deactivated) or a
Certificate of Specialization. The program contributes to the college’s strategic plan by
strengthening the identity and community awareness of the college. Students spend a vast
amount of time in the community in uniform performing clinical shifts and community service,
identifying them as students of the college. The program contributes to the general education
program by reinforcement of the general education courses, specifically communications
(ability to communicate with co-workers and patients, ability to give and receive oral reports)
and English (ability to produce written documentation of assessments and patient care).
Department Data
The Emergency Medical Technology program offered 2 courses with 16 total sections through
the academic year for a total of 2162 credit hours and 254 students. There are thirteen primary
adjunct faculty and thirteen others assisting with skills instruction. Students in the Emergency
Medical Technology program continue to be mostly continuing students, white and male, but
black and female student percentages continue to climb.
Curriculum
The curriculum remains largely set based upon the requirements of accreditation and the
national curriculum. There have been no new changes since the last update other than the
inclusion of 12 lead ECG assessment and transmission.
Assessment
Student assessment is determined according to the accreditation guidelines. The primary
measure is the students’ first-time pass rate on national boards (NREMT). The first-time pass
rate is tracked by calendar year. For 2014 the rate was 78%, improving upon the 72% the
previous year. We currently require a student to take an exit exam prior to being approved for
the NREMT exam. The exit exam is similar to the NREMT exam and a good predictor of success.
But students that delay taking the exam tend to perform poorly. In the future there may be a
time limit imposed for students to take the certification exam. Students not taking the exam in
time will have to repeat the exit exam with the minimum required score for approval to take
the certification exam.
17 | P a g e
STLCC-Forest Park 2014- 2015
For the academic year there is a fail/withdrawal rate of 37% and an incomplete rate of 5%.
Many incompletes will be completed within the year and are due to a delay in background
checks through the state of Missouri. Of graduating students able to be contacted, 75% are
employed in a related field.
Resources Needed to Meet Goals
Staffing and space needs are adequate, but dedicated classrooms where equipment could be
left out and more room for practice would be desirable. As accreditation requirements increase
there is an increased need for simulation and higher technology equipment. We were able to
order a low-level simulation manikin and airway training equipment, but compared to local fire
departments we are lacking. High-fidelity simulated manikins designed for EMS and an
ambulance would be helpful to the training.

The Fire Protection Technology program offers a Certificate of Proficiency with 33 credit hours
of classes and Associates in Applied Science degree. There were 30 declared majors in the Fire
Protection Technology AAS and 4 in the Certificate of Proficiency. Three students graduated
with the Associates degree and none with the Certificate. The program contributes to the
college’s strategic plan by endorsing the one college concept with the classes centralized. The
program contributes to the general education program by reinforcement of the general
education courses, specifically communications (ability to communicate with co-workers, ability
to give and receive oral reports) and English (ability to produce written documentation of
assessments).
Department Data
The Fire Protection Technology program offered 6 courses with 9 total sections through the
academic year for a total of 294 credit hours and 89 students. There are seven primary adjunct
faculty and six others assisting with skills instruction. Students in the Fire Protection Technology
program continue to be mostly continuing students, white and male, but black and female
student percentages continue to climb.

Curriculum
The curriculum remains largely set and has not changed. The classes were offered on a rotation
requiring three years to complete the program. Proposed curriculum changes include reducing
the rotation to two years allowing completion of the degree within those two years. FIR 111
and FIR 112 (Fire Fighter I and II) will be increased in credit hours to comply with changes in the
requirements from the Missouri Division of Fire Safety. The Missouri Community College
Association has also proposed Fire Technology as a pilot program to standardize Career and
Technical Education programs across the state. The degree program curriculum would be
changed to comply with the National Fire Academy’s Fire and Emergency Services Higher
Education (FESHE) curriculum. Plans have also been started for a fire academy which would
prepare students for job readiness with a fire department.
Assessment
Student assessment is determined according to the state guidelines. The primary measure is
the students’ pass rate on the Fire Fighter I and II exams, administered by the state. Other
classes allow students to take testing for state certification, but students are not required to do
so. For the academic year there is a withdrawal rate of 15%. No students failed. Of graduating
students able to be contacted, 100% are employed in a related field.
Resources Needed to Meet Goals
Staffing and space needs are adequate, but dedicated classrooms where equipment could be
left out and more room for practice would be desirable. As accreditation requirements increase
there is an increased need for simulation and higher technology equipment. We received a
donation from Scott Safety of self-contained breathing apparatus (air bottles and frames) and
were able to obtain multiple sets of face masks and Personal Alert Safety devices (PASS). A
utility truck to haul equipment to live burn and demonstration sites would be desirable,
eliminating faculty from having to load equipment in their private vehicles. A used fire truck
would be on a wish list also.
Funeral Service Education and Funeral Directing
Programs Description
The Funeral Service Education Department is the only program in the state of Missouri. It
consists of a 65-credit hour career program in Funeral Service Education and a 27-credit hour
career program in Funeral Directing.
The Funeral Service program prepare student for employment as funeral directors and/or
embalmers. The Funeral Directing program prepares students for licensure as a funeral director
and entry level employment in most funeral home establishments. The program is offered in
the evening and online.
Department highlights/significant accomplishments
19 | P a g e
STLCC-Forest Park 2014- 2015
The Funeral Service Department has made some significant changes since the withdrawal of
accreditation by the American Board of Funeral Service Education (ABFSE) in 2013. The
program and curriculum have been revised. The Committee on Accreditation deferred initial
accreditation from April 2015 to October 2015 due the lack of a comprehensive program
assessment plan and Funeral Directing Program courses are not in-line with the Funeral Service
Education Program. The Funeral Service Department is in the process of developing an
assessment plan and changing the Funeral Directing curriculum and anticipates initial
accreditation in October.
Department Data
Credit hour production for the funeral service department includes; 66 credit hours for Funeral
Service Education program and 27 Credit hours for the Funeral Directing program. The
department has two full time faculty and one adjunct. The Funeral Directing Program due to
revisions will not be offering courses fall 2015.

Curriculum
The Funeral Directing Program is currently being revised so the FD courses are in line with the
FSE courses for transferability from the Funeral Directing to the Funeral Service Education
program.
21 | P a g e
STLCC-Forest Park 2014- 2015
Assessment
The FSE is currently developing a comprehensive assessment plan relative to both programs.
Since the FSE program did not have any graduates in 2014 there will not be any board results.
And the Missouri state board will not provide scores
Resources Needed to Meet Goals
The Funeral Service Department has been without one full-time faculty due to medical leave.
Despite the medical issue with one faculty, the funeral service department cannot continue to
function with only one faculty. The department cannot find adjunct faculty with a master
degree which is required for accreditation.
The department is in need of more classroom space. Currently, the department includes a
classroom with a merchandising area as well as a very small chapel area. There is a special
need for a separate room for merchandising.
Nursing Program (Forest Park Campus)
Program Description

Physical Education Department
Department Description
•
•
•
•
The Physical Education Department contributes to the strategic plan of the college by
collaborating with district PE faculty and other departments to improve student
learning. Examples include the revision of course profiles to better reflect outcomes in
physical education courses, the creation of one (1) credit hour course substitution
proposals for prior learning experience. Veterans may obtain 1-credit of PE 109 Basic
Fitness for military training and EMT/Paramedics may obtain 1-credit of First Aid with
proof of a current EMT/Paramedic license and previous work experience. Additionally,
the number of hybrid and online offerings has expanded with Community CPR, Stress
Management, Health and Personal Hygiene, and Wellness/Fitness Concepts.
The Physical Education Department is operating under the one college theme with more
communication among district PE chairs for consistency and equity of course offering
and scheduled minutes. Branding and marketing of STLCC as one college is illustrated in
Fitness Center posters and flyers, classroom and faculty contact information posted near
office doors, and on signage in the gym.
The Physical Education Department contributes to the general education program by
offering students the opportunity to explore and apply knowledge of health and
wellness concepts, principles, strategies, and activities that relate to lifetime fitness and
well-being.
The Physical Education Program offers students and employees 1-credit hour physical
activity-based courses, PE 129 First Aid (2 credits), and online and hybrid sections of
Community CPR PE 120 and the following 3-credit hour courses: PE 135 Health and
Personal Hygiene, PE 161 Stress Management and PE 180 Wellness/Fitness Concepts.
Over 1,600 student were enrolled in courses

Report curriculum changes
o A block schedule was introduced spring 2014 for all courses to meet 1 hour and
35 minutes (accordance with HLC’s 1500 minute seat time). Classes began at the
following times: 8am, 10am, 1pm, 3pm and 6pm (except swimming class which is
offered at 7pm). This led to low enrollment in Fitness Center courses, and as a
result, a new schedule of course times was proposed for fall 2015. All other
classes will remain on block scheduling for fall 2015.
Upcoming curriculum issues/discussions/requirements
o A new textbook for Fitness Center was customized from Thygerson’s Fit to Be
Well (Jones & Bartlett). The Fitness Center Manual is designed to improve
instructional delivery of course concepts and principles related to fitness and
health.
o Syllabi, course content, and quizzes will be delivered via Blackboard for all
Fitness Center courses.
o The creation of a new Fitness Center instructional model and course manual is to
attract more students and improve student learning of health and fitness
principles.
o A new course, PE 220 American Heart Association CPR for Healthcare Providers,
was approved and implemented in Curricunet Spring 2015. The course will
permit students to obtain 1-credit of PE to meet the graduation requirement as
well as attain certification required by Allied Health Career Programs.

Assessment
•
•
Report on student assessment initiatives—PE district faculty have developed a student
self-assessment rubric and are continuing to work on an instructor administered
assessment.
Outline developments on:
o Status - The existing Fitness Center enrollment had dropped in recent semesters
due to the block schedule, which limited availability of the facility. A new Fitness
Center schedule for fall 2015 was proposed and accepted for implementation in
order to better meet the needs of students and employees. Numerous requests
were made to access the Fitness Center during early morning and evening, but
with limited hours due to sections not filling, that was not possible. The classes
will be offered for 16-week and 8-week sessions. The 16 weeks sessions will run
on the hour in the mornings, and the 8-week sessions will meet 1st and 2nd 8
weeks for 1 hour and 35 minutes in the afternoon and evenings. This new
schedule will provide students and employees much more flexibility to work out
on their own time after the required orientation meetings.
o Attendance Tracker use will continue as part of the STLCC requirement for
faculty.
o Goals - Replace old athletic plaques in west lobby of PE building with posters
illustrating photos and course listings of physical education courses and STLCC
athletic teams. Approved by Athletic Directors, but work did not happen based
on concern of appearance once plaques were removed. New Fitness Center
posters were created. Additional work will progress to enhance the STLCC brand
in the facility.
o Develop information for inclusion on website for Physical Education that reflects
College and campus purpose. This would be beneficial for students to know
about each campus’ facility and services available such as open recreation. No
progress at this time, ongoing work to be done.
Resources Needed to Meet Goals
•
Staffing needs - As adjuncts leave the program, a search will be conducted to hire new
instructors through networking with other campuses and businesses in the area. Job
postings may be listed on the website as needed.
STLCC-Forest Park 2014- 2015
30 | P a g e
•
Budget needs - Additional budget of $2,000 is requested for part-time temporary staff
to fund lifeguards and part-time gym supervisors. In order to meet the requirements for
aquatic instruction and recreational open swim sessions, a lifeguard must be on duty in
the pool. Part-time gym supervisors are necessary for set up of equipment during rental
events in addition to assisting PE classes in the evening and on weekends. Funding
would provide for training sessions and additional hours of coverage to ensure a safe,
secure environment and a consistent level of customer service for students and visitors
throughout the academic year. Currently, part-time gym supervisors are paid by the
Business Office with funds from rentals of the facility and Continuing Education for
coverage of non-credit classes.

Resources Needed to Meet Goals
•
•
Staffing needs
o In order to meet JRCERT accreditation standards and to continue to provide
needed on-site clinical instruction, it is imperative that our current staffing
remains in place.
Budget needs
o The program’s lab equipment continues to malfunction frequently as previously
reported. Replacement lab equipment was initially requested in February 2014
but has not been funded at this time. The program’s advisory committee
recently recognized that replacing this outdated and malfunctioning equipment
must be a priority of the College if our program is to remain competitive and
effective in the training of radiologic technologists.

Several significant changes have occurred in the Business, Math and Technology Division over
the past year. With the retirement of Chuck Zoeller as Coordinator, the Municipal Services
department has been restructured. The Building Inspection and Code Enforcement Technology
Program has moved to Florissant Valley to join the Engineering and Technology programs. Fire
Protection Technology moved to join Emergency Medical Services in the Allied Health, Natural
Science and Physical Education Division. William Tucker has assumed the role of Coordinator of
Criminal Justice.
The Automotive Program was successfully accredited by the National Automotive Technicians
Education Foundation (NATEF). A number of programs have gone through the program review
process: Automotive Technology, Criminal Justice, Web Developer, Baking and Pastry, Culinary,
and Hospitality. Criminal Justice participated in a Tech Scan to better determine what skills and
knowledge our students will need for future employment. The Diesel Coordinator, Steven
Goessling and Dean Wilcoxson have worked closely with Workforce Solutions in the
development of the grant-funded Truck Driving Program.
Outreach into the community has expanded with the addition of dual credit courses in
Information Systems, Health Information Technology and Math at more area high schools.
Collaboration between the Hospitality and Tourism Department and Jennings High School is
being explored for next year. The college’s Cisco Academy has expanded and has begun
collaboration with the EdPlus organization in St. Louis public schools.

A number of division members have attended, and some have presented, at both local and
national conferences. Automotive faculty members have served as judges at several Skills USA
events. Two faculty members, W. Clarke Griffin and Joshua Walker, have earned master’s
degrees, and automotive students participated in their first Skills USA event, coming away with
a couple of awards.
The BMT Division will continue to support the college’s strategic plan in the following areas:
• Collaborating with Workforce Solutions to explore external contacts for CTE programs
• Working with Criminal Justice and Business Administration programs to update
curriculum and develop appropriate outcomes and assessments
• Completing NATEF certification for the Diesel Program
• Finalizing curriculum revisions in Health Information Technology
Automotive Studies Department
The Automotive Studies Department consists of the Automotive Technology and Diesel
Technology. We also house Welding, which is required by Diesel Technology. All AUT, DIE and
ME-Welding courses are located in this department. Both programs offer an Associate in
Applied Science Degree, a Certificate of Proficiency, and a Certificate of Specialization.
Strategic plan Step 1-Redesign Student Experiences
• Develop and use Academic Maps: We worked with enrollment management and
collaborated on up to date maps and footnotes. The results are helping students
and counselors to select classes and provide clarification of some academic
alternatives.
• Program accreditation: The Automotive Technology Program received NATEF
Certification in January 2015. The Program received MAST (Master Automotive
Service Technology) certification, being recognized to deliver all 8 ASE areas of
specialization, the highest level of certification ASE/NATEF certifies.
• We are currently preparing the Diesel Technology Program for accreditation and
hope to have a site visit within a year.
• Strengthen Advisory Committees: The Automotive Department has recruited a
number of new members who are more active and involved. Many of them are
program alumni. The Diesel Program is recruiting new members as well and
hopefully will have a few more in place for the next (fall) meeting.
• Formalize 2+2 agreements: The Automotive Department has met with SIU-C and
has an agreement which is being negotiated with the Vice-Chancellor and SIU-C.
It should be complete sometime this summer. We have also begun discussions
with PSU (Pittsburg State University of Pittsburg KS). Both of these programs are
Bachelor’s Degree Programs that will recognize the full 2 years of the AAS
Degree earned at STLCC.
43 | P a g e
STLCC-Forest Park 2014- 2015
Strategic Plan Step 2-Define branding and marketing of the college.
• Develop automotive partnerships with Dobbs Tire and other businesses:
Currently a number of students have been placed in both part and full-time
positions at Dobbs Tire and Auto. We have also had students doing internships at
Enterprise Fleet Operations. Placements have been very strong with the majority
of the students working in the field.
• We have also marketed the program by participating in Auto Skills competitions.
We had a team of students participate in Skills USA and received 3rd and 5th place
honors. We also judged regional, and State Skills USA and the Ford/AAA state
competition.
How does the program contribute to the general education program?
As a career program we have a defined curriculum and promote both the AAS Degree with the
full amount of academics requirements, and CP and CS certificates with limited academic
requirements.
The department has a long tradition on the campus and over half of the department members
are program graduates. We all continue to keep up our training and certifications. All of our
full-time faculty members are ASE Master Certified Technicians. We are a career program and
help prepare the students for employment and the workplace. Students are required to wear a
uniform, and behave like they would in the workplace. Besides their technical training we also
train the students in safety, workplace standards as well as the business aspects of being an
Automotive Technician. In the fall we had a career fair where we invited automotive employers
on campus to meet with the students and present career opportunities. We also started a
Facebook page where employers can display jobs and the students can check for opportunities.
We are hoping this will keep our graduates engaged with the program so that we can continue
to help them with placement. Keeping graduates involved with us helps to get donations of
parts and advisory committee members in the future.

Curriculum
The Ford ASSET Program was deactivated since the last class had graduated in 2012. We will be
updating our curriculum since new NATEF standards will be coming out this year. We also are
waiting for final recommendations with our articulating/transferring institutions.
Assessment
Currently we have been trying to add a student certification/exit exam. This exam is
administered through ASE, the same group that certifies our program. A single $30 fee per
student, per academic year, allows the student to take any or all tests in a test series twice each
year – once in the fall and once in the spring. Fall tests can be designated as a pretest for preand post-test score reporting. This testing will allow us to measure actual knowledge gain and
allow us to see how our students compare nationally. The issue we are having is the funding.
Potentially between Automotive and Diesel we could have 30 or 40 graduates ($30/student)
which would cost up to $1200.00 per year. Unfortunately having the students pay voluntarily is
not going to yield the quantity we need for a good assessment. We would like to consider a lab
fee or using Carl Perkins funds to pay. Our Advisory Committee is also in favor of instituting this
testing.
STLCC-Forest Park 2014- 2015
46 | P a g e
Additional Resources Required
Staffing is adequate in the Automotive Department but will need to increase in the Diesel area
as enrollments increase. Space is adequate, but we are in need of some renovations in
furniture, paint, and lighting. Budgets will need to increase to cover increasing costs in the
future. We will also need to replace computers, and replenish and upgrade hand tools (approx.
$25,000). Also if the proposed changes in air conditioning refrigerants takes place we will need
additional capital for new equipment since it is not compatible with our existing equipment. We
would need new recovery, recycling, dispensing, and leak detection equipment. Although the
exact prices are not available, our estimates are approximately $30,000.00.
Faculty and Staff Accomplishments
Rick Anthes, associate professor; Joe Jackson, assistant professor; and Josh Walker, assistant
professor, all from the Auto Technology program were recognized by the Board of Trustees in
March for receiving the National Automotive Technicians Education Foundation (NATEF) Master
Automobile Service Technology accreditation. Only a small percentage of educational
institutions achieve this accreditation, which signifies that the program meets strict industry
standards and has a commitment to quality automobile training. It is the highest level of
achievement recognized by the NATEF.

Curriculum
After further review of the academic pathways in Accounting and Business Administration, we
will be offering three new courses: FIN100 Personal Finance; MGT101 Introduction to
Supervision; and MGT106 Human Resource Management. This will provide our students access
to the full program, thus, providing better customer service them.
Assessment
Ours assessment plan includes analyzing the effectiveness of our course offerings with respect
to length of term and course delivery. We are hoping that the student success rate patterns in
these areas will help us plan future course offerings to meet the diverse needs of our student
population and also to ensure student success in the classroom.
STLCC-Forest Park 2014- 2015
50 | P a g e
Regarding our online course offerings, we historically know that students typically learn better
in a traditional face to face setting than in an online setting. However, due to recent trends in
demand, online classes have become very popular and within the Business Department, we
have begun to increase the number of online class offerings to help meet this demand and also
to maintain student enrollments. Also, based on our preliminary findings from the last three
academic school years, we know that students tend to struggle more in the online setting
compared to the traditional lecture setting.
After studying and analyzing the data, we hope to make changes to ensure that our success
rates are consistent for all of our Business classes (both for online and traditional classes and
miscellaneous length classes). As a Department, we will have continued discussions to
implement strategies and procedures for students to be qualified to enroll in online and
miscellaneous length classes. We will also continue to evaluate our faculty to maintain integrity
and high quality of instruction in the classroom.
Resources Needed to Meet Goals
The Accounting Business lab requires a larger space to accommodate classes utilizing the lab
during class time. Currently, we have 12 computers and require another 13 computers. In
addition, we utilize student workers through our Financial Aid program to run the lab. A more
effective solution for our students is to hire 2-4 Education Assistants which would monitor the
lab but have the competencies in accounting and business to offer educational support to our
business students.
Significant Faculty, Staff, and Student Accomplishments
Here is a summary of the following activities from the Business Department:
David Juriga
David attended the MAAE Conference (Missouri Association of Accounting Educators) in
November where he earned 8 CPEs including Ethics credit for his CPA (Certified Public
Accountant) license. Also he renewed his CPA license as well as his CGMA certification
(Chartered Global Management Accountant).
David completed QM training to be eligible to teach online classes at SLCC.
Aaron Reeves
Aaron was appointed to the Board of Directors for the Missouri Association of Accounting
Educators.

STLCC-Forest Park 2014- 2015
Jeffrey Jones
Jeff oversees the Edward Jones Internship Program. Three students completed the Edward Jones Internship program during the fall semester. These students spent 15 weeks as full-time
employees at Edward Jones. All three students were hired – one in a full-time role and the
remaining two hired as flex-time employees. Flextime is similar to part time, but the schedule
for the employee is set for 90 days. After the 90 day period the schedule will adjust based on
workload for the next 90 days. Starting pay for flextime employees is approximately $16 per
hour.
Also, during the fall semester Jeff coordinated the recruitment of two students for the Spring 15
Edward Jones Internship. During the spring 2015 semester both Edward Jones interns were
hired as flextime employees. Two interns were successfully recruited for the summer 2015
semester and two for the fall 2015 semester.
Nicholas Peppes
Nicholas attended the 10th Annual Teaching Economics Conference of the National Economics
Teaching Association. He also attended the26th Annual Teaching Economics Conference at
Robert Morris University, In addition, he attended the winter and spring meetings of the
Educator Advisory Board at the St. Louis Federal Reserve Bank. Also he served as co-chairman
of the Campus Sabbatical Committee. Finally, Nicholas developed and taught a new course,
ECO140 Introduction to Economics. This course has not been taught at the Forest Park Campus
for at least 15 years.
Angelic Cole
Our Business programs are centered on the student, and offer a variety of opportunities to
learn both within and outside of the classroom. These include:
• A newly installed bulletin board which has been decorated by students for students
which has included Student Spotlights and recommended readings from the Book Nook
as well as tips for students for campus resources, events, and extracurricular clubs.
•
The creation of an Accounting/Business Computer Lab located in F219 - Grand Opening
was September 8th. The lab has been utilized by business students for homework and
in class assignments which require the use of computers.
•
A variety of engaging and academic programs that integrate the Business Department
with other disciplines in a way to help prepare students for the professional world.
Master Class Series held a music contest for the use in its videos. Also there were
auditions for students who want to be a host for the series.
STLCC-Forest Park 2014- 2015
52 | P a g e
•
The continuation of The Business Monthly which is publicized in the BMT Newsletter.
Our team of Business professors provided information on our Business Administration,
International Business, Accounting, Economics, and Entrepreneur programs, while
highlighting our students’ accomplishments through internships, the Forest Park
Business Club, Master Class Series and other activities. In addition, our Business
professors have put on their other hats to serve as business professionals and impart
expert advice that can help our colleagues in our division, as well as on the rest of the
Forest Park campus.
Angelic spoke at the MCCA’s 50th Annual Conference (Missouri Community College Association)
on November 6, 2014. She was asked to speak on the 2013 Innovation of the Year Master Class
Series.
Under the Master Class Series umbrella on April 14th, the Forest Park Business Club with the St
Louis Business Journal partnered with the Cuisine Club to create a Business Etiquette Luncheon
in which 90 students participated. Our goal was to provide our students an opportunity to
develop their ‘soft skills’ with an emphasis on dining etiquette. Our student’s lack of ‘soft skills’
is a major concern that employers have articulated to us through various Advisory Board
meetings. Our ultimate goal is to host a workshop each semester to assist all students from
various disciplines with the development of their ‘soft skills’ in securing and retaining
employment. Furthermore as a result of the Business Etiquette success, Dr. Roderick Nunn,
Interim President Forest Park campus, has granted through a Presidential Initiative the
opportunity to continue providing programs which would offer workshops throughout the
school year focusing on ‘soft skill’ development.
Criminal Justice Department
The Criminal Justice program provides two academic options for the student: Law Enforcement
option and Corrections option. Each option gives the student the ability to achieve a Certificate
of Proficiency or an Associate of Applied Science. The results from our recent Tech Scan panel
suggest the Certificate of Proficiency may not be attractive to potential employers.
Department Description
The strategic direction of the program is designed to align itself with the college’s strategic
goals as follows:
•
•
•
Ensure that equal opportunity is afforded to all students or potential students when
applying for the program, and religious beliefs and practices are not held in disregard.
Ensure that each student is given proper guidance and counseling enabling them to
make appropriate decisions related to their academic career.
Provide electronically or in writing those rules established by the college that all
students are expected to abide by, and determine that each student fully understands
these rules and guidelines.
53 | P a g e
STLCC-Forest Park 2014- 2015
•
•
•
Continuously upgrade all course work and stay abreast of changes involving instruction
methods and techniques.
Make available reasonable office hours and instruction outside of the class for those
students needing additional assistance. This should include guidance and counseling
that you are capable of providing or direction to those persons that can provide the
additional help.
Administer regular assessments and surveys concerning your course work to ensure that
the student is receiving the instruction necessary to be successful in their field of study.
The Criminal Justice program continues to experience a slight decrease in the number of
sections and a greater decrease in the number of seats taken in those sections. This greater
decrease can be attributed to our students having transportation issues which make it difficult
to access classes offered on other campuses.
The faculty is comprised of a lawyer, judge, police chief, former probation officer, and social
worker. There is one full time Associate Professor and four adjunct instructors.
The department continues to engage with the local police department and police academy
relative to establishing a collaborative effort to provide state approved (P.O.S.T.) training to
academy recruits. Recently several administrators and adjunct faculty traveled to Blue Springs
to observe a local community college’s program which provides some courses for the academy
recruits.

Curriculum
In April 2015, the department in a collective and collaborative effort with the other Criminal
Justice departments concluded a TECH SCAN facilitated focus group. The purpose of this effort
was to obtain input from the industry to confirm and improve the relevance of our criminal
justice curriculum.
We will increase our effort to complete a district-wide program review, including assembling a
DACUM panel as a follow on to the recently completed TECH SCAN.
It should be noted that as a college, we continue to explore and develop a district-wide
protocol for awarding college credits for prior relevant learning experiences of our adult
students. There have been several inquiries from our Armed Forces regarding awarding college
credits to soldiers who have completed military police training and are now interested in
earning a college degree.
There also appears to be a need to address the educational needs for the private and corporate
security industry.
STLCC-Forest Park 2014- 2015

Assessment
Regular assessment of student’s course work is conducted to ensure that the student is
receiving the instruction and experience necessary to be successful in their field of study. The
practicum and practicum seminar are very key components to the criminal justice program that
give graduating students in the Corrections option the opportunity to gain practical and
measurable experience in their field of study.
Resources Needed to Meet Goals
The department appears to have adequate faculty, staff and space for the decreasing number
of courses and sections offered.
Hospitality and Tourism Department
Program Description
The Hospitality Studies Program is a department comprised of three linked career areas: Hotel
and Restaurant Management with Travel and Tourism and Event Planning, Baking and Pastry
Arts and Culinary Arts. We are engaged in several academic initiatives including pathway
building through articulations with all of the City/County high schools, with related courses. As
a program we also have fostered relationships with four year institutions such as Johnson and
Wales University, the University of Missouri- Columbia and Springfield as well as Saint Louis
University. Additionally, we have planned our course sequences with significant
interdisciplinary study within our core career area. We have also pursued interdisciplinary
courses, where appropriate, with other academic areas, such as Communications, Math and
English. We are currently working with the science department to develop a Food Science
course for Hospitality Students.
The department has worked to embrace strategic goals by:
•
Initiating bold reduction and rescheduling of courses
•
Redesigning programs and expanding efforts to develop new relationships such as the
Shanghai Western Hotel Certificate, ARCH’s collaboration for training ex-offenders, and
dual credit with Jennings school district.
•
Offering courses in conjunction with the Wildwood Campus
All are designed to grow enrollment, increase completion and better respond to workforce
needs in our disciplines.
57 | P a g e
STLCC-Forest Park 2014- 2015
Our faculty and students are active in various service learning projects such as developing and
teaching continuing education, community service lectures and demonstrations, as well as
ongoing relationships with community based groups such as Operation Food Search, New
Ventures, Eat Local and ACF Chef and Child. Faculty also regularly represent the department at
various high school career fairs and make themselves available to in-house tours, site visits and
student shadowing. We have participated in two information sessions at the WW campus in
spring of 2015 as we move to cross list appropriate courses at the WW campus. Faculty
members participate on multiple advisory committees, contribute to local print media, and
appear on local and national television. Faculty are also active at the high school level in judging
Skills USA events and student culinary competitions. Our students are eligible to access multiple
national and local industry-based scholarships including institutions such as the Missouri
Restaurant Association, the Saint Louis Area Hotel Association, The Dames Escoffier, The
National Restaurant Association, The Saint Louis Chefs de Cuisine, The Dennis Galore Memorial
Scholarship and others. Two of the three areas of specialization, Baking and Pastry and Culinary
Arts, are accredited with “exemplary” status by the American Culinary Federation. Our
accreditations are currently up for reaccreditation in 2016; this will be a major financial and
academic focus of the department in the upcoming academic year.

Assessment
The Baking and Pastry Arts and Culinary Arts programs are both certified as exemplary
programs by the American Culinary Federation. Assessments are related to national
certifications required for maintaining this exemplary status. Many of our HTM courses
culminate with the opportunity for students to take industry certification exams such as
ServSafe Alcohol.
Resources Needed to Meet Goals
We are currently sufficiently staffed but are in need of significant building and equipment
repair and maintenance. We have mold issues and falling ceiling tiles and broken equipment.
Sewer, ventilation and roof issues continue to be a problem. Additionally the cost of food and
lab products has increased without similar budget increases. Monies have been removed from
the program. Ongoing professional maintenance and cleaning contracts would provide a safer,
cleaner experience and better protect college assets from theft, damage and harm to others.
Completion of the work originally designed for SC 015/016 has yet to be discussed; the
uncompleted areas have created a problem with bug infestations and are potentially dangerous
for students and employees. The department was asked to pay over $1,200.00 to install phone
lines to the classroom and there is still no emergency call button or intercom available in an
emergency. Completing the removal and redesign of the unused bathrooms would be
immediately beneficial for students. We are also in need of redesign of H 120 the AB dining
room. Stained carpets, water stains and torn wallpaper create a very unprofessional
presentation of our campus to the many visitors (with the capstone classes, sometimes over a
thousand guests a year) that we service each year.
Significant Faculty, Staff, and Student Accomplishments
Full time faculty in our department had many wonderful achievements this past year, including
Chef Clarke Griffin, completing his MBA. Craig Mueller was awarded the Teacher of the Year
from the Missouri Meeting Planners; Professor Mike Downey continues to act as a liaison with
the workforce development area to provide certificated programs for ex-offenders and
veterans and he is a Site Visit member for the ACF. Professor Rob Hertel continues to represent
the department at multiple business and professional organizations, works with the faculty
union, sits on several college and campus committees and acts as our Safety Coordinator. Casey
Shiller is the faculty coordinator for the Cuisine Club and coordinator for the Baking and Pastry
program. Jeff Ivory serves on the curriculum committee. Department Chair Ellen Piazza
continues to serve on several committees and represents the department whenever necessary
or appropriate.

the MRTDL Grant (1 year) and MoSTEMWINs Grant (2-3 years). The department was just
awarded a grant from Cisco to improve outreach to area high schools through a partnership
with the EducationPlus which has a membership of over 61 school districts in greater St. Louis.
Contributions to strategic plan of the college: Improve student retention and completion.
•
HIT Retention Coach: Though Perkins funding we were able to hire a part-time HIT
Retention Coach that helped to develop the HIT/MBC Programs. The HIT Student
Handbook was developed, a student organization was started, and advising hours as
well as general support was offered to HIT students. An HIT/MBC Bb Community
website was developed for faculty and students.
•
Dedicated Tutors: The IS department was able to provide dedicated tutors in our
facilities for the Network Engineering, IT Help Desk/End User, and Software Developer
Programs, providing our students who were taking the Java Programming series and the
UNIX series of courses with needed support.
•
Speaker Series & Town Hall Meeting: This year we offered two speaker events (Ethical
Hacking, RHIT Round Table Discussion) and had our 3rd Annual HIT Town Hall Meeting.
These events enriched our students’ experience by bringing industry professionals and
alumni to share their expertise and/or success strategies.
STLCC-Forest Park 2014- 2015
62 | P a g e
•
Support for Majors: The department supports our majors by providing customized
advising based on the student’s background and prior learning, identifying students at
risk, and through district-wide curriculum groups develop additional resources,
activities, video clips, etc. to fill in the gaps that exist within our courses. Based on the
program, course delivery methods range from lecture to online to provide our students
with options that support their needs. Business skills are now an integral part of all
program revisions.

estimations, predictions and informed decisions.
5. Students will formulate and use generalizations based upon pattern recognition.
6. Students will use technology as an aid to understanding and as a tool in the solution of
problems.
7. Students will recognize and use the connections within mathematics.
The strategic goals of the Mathematics Department are the same goals as Saint Louis
Community College: to redesign the student experience, operationalize as ‘One College’ and
strengthen identity and community awareness of Saint Louis Community College. The
Department is currently initiating a complete redesign of developmental education. In the
meantime, we have instituted several new courses that meet the needs our diverse student
population. The Department holds an annual contest for Metro Saint Louis high school students
in order to reach out to theses potential students and advertise our institution to local
educators. The Department has also instituted several board approved dual enrollment
agreements with various high schools located in the STLCC-Forest Park district.

STLCC-Forest Park 2014- 2015
The Mathematics Department has twelve full-time faculty members as well as approximately
twenty-five adjuncts and educational assistant who teach lecture classes or serve students in
our self-paced, developmental courses.
Curriculum
The Mathematics Department recently implemented as a district Math 161 to serve as an
alternative to College Algebra for non-STEM students. We are currently trying to advertise and
promote this class with students and the College’s support staff. We are also investigating as a
district the best method to offer developmental mathematics to students so that the student’s
time and financial aid are minimized in the developmental sequence. We are investigating new
pathways and alternatives to the traditional algebra sequence that a student encounters now.
Finally, there have been two math courses, Math 108 and Math 020, which have been
contextualized for degree-specific learning.
Assessment
The Mathematics Department is committed to assessment. We are currently participating in
the College-wide assessment program of student learning outcomes for general education
course (College Algebra and above). The Department participated in a rating session of student
artifacts in spring 2015 and will continue assessing the student learning outcomes in future
semesters.
We are also assessing the best delivery method for mathematics courses. Specifically, the
Department is investigating success rates of online courses, traditional lecture courses and selfpaced courses. To this end, we are attempting to implement a scheduling plan for all courses
that is optimized for student success and meets the needs of our student population.
Resources Needed to Meet Goals
The Mathematics Department occupies the 3rd floor of A-Tower. The classrooms need to be
updated with new paint, ceilings, table-type desks that fit adult students and new AV
equipment. Also, the chalkboards need to be removed and replaced with dry-erase boards in all
A-tower classrooms.

Significant Faculty, Staff and Student Accomplishments
Professor H. Michael Lueke and Arabela Koric were promoted during the academic year.
Instructor Phyllis Farwig won the 1st annual Forest Park Teacher of the Year Award. Several
faculty members presented at national conferences and receive nationwide recognition for
their teaching practices. The Mathematics Department is exploring open-source resources such
as textbook and homework platforms and this is currently being piloted in several college-level
courses. Professor Debbie Char is overseeing the Adult Learning Academy (ALA) which is
transitioning under the MoSTEMWins and MRTDL grant programs. The Mathematics
Department also hosted over 50 area high schools and approximately 750 high school students
to compete in 49th annual Excellence in Mathematics contest. Several Mathematics Department
faculty members offered under the auspices of Professor H. Michael Lueke several free
workshops open to all students to assuage their fear of mathematics—specifically, algebra.
Finally, the Mathematics Department undertook several opportunities for students to
participate in Math Awareness Month which was April 2015. A very well received presentation
called Career Panel Discussions in which local people—including some graduates from Saint
Louis Community College-Forest Park--from various businesses, governmental agencies and
educational institutions discuss how they used mathematics in their careers.

Fine & Performing Arts Department
Department Description/Make-up-types of courses/disciplines within
The Fine and Performing Arts Department houses courses for the Art Education, Fine Arts,
Graphic Communications, Music, and Photography programs. It also includes theater courses.
Most of our courses teach the production side of visual and performing arts. However, we do
generate classes which satisfy the Humanities and Fine Arts General Education requirement
including ART 100 Art Appreciation, ART 101 Art History I, ART 102 Art History II, ART 103 History
of Modern Art, MUS 113 History of Jazz, MUS 114 Music Appreciation, MUS 128 History of Rock
and Roll, and THT 101 Introduction to Theater. ART 100 Art Appreciation, ART 101 Art History I,
and ART 102 Art History II also satisfy the Global/Intercultural General Education requirement.
The department contributes to the Strategic Plan of the college via Strategy 1, Action Step 1 in
that we have developed and use academic maps for our programs. Each semester, Chair Jamie
Kreher e-mails all of the students who are majoring in Fine Arts, Graphic Communications, and
Photography with important registration information as well as the academic map for their
program. In the e-mail, she strongly encourages students to meet with her or other faculty to
plan their courses and prepare for transfer or work in the industry. She and other faculty meet
with students on a regular basis to help them with these issues. This has helped our students take
the right courses at the right time which aids in retention and completion. In fact, between
Summer 2014 and Spring 2015, we had 16 students graduate from our department: 7 with a
General Fine Arts AFA, 4 with a Photography AFA, 2 in Graphic Communications, and 3 in Music.
We also worked toward Strategy 3, Actions Steps 1, 2, and 3. Matthew Isaacson and Thomas
Zirkle worked the 2014 St. Louis Art Fair to promote the STLCC Fine and Performing Arts
department. Isaacson also worked on creating 1000 ceramic cups as part of this promotional
process. Jamie Kreher gave two workshops to eight graders at St. Margaret of Scotland School to
instruct students on creating time-lapse photographs of the construction of an addition to their
school. She also created a time-lapse video of the construction out of the photographs the
students made to complete the project for the school. Jamie promoted the Fine and Performing
Art Department at the Experience STLCC Information Night at our campus in March. During the
spring semester, Jamie and Matthew also visited with art faculty at Grand Arts Academy and gave
a promotional presentation to art students at Central Visual and Performing Arts High School.
Finally, all of the full-time faculty in our department sent on their materials to be added to a
STLCC arts webpage as requested by Meramec Acting Chair, David Hanlon.
We served 1,030 students between the fall and spring semesters. We also had the following
number of student majors: 17 in Art Education, 32 in General Fine Arts, 44 in Graphic
Communications, 11 in Music, and 20 in Photography.

Curriculum
Graphic Communications is undergoing a major program revision. The goal is to reduce the total
number of options from 4 down to 2, increase the core classes that are needed, and reduce the
electives. There is also more emphasis on web and interactive digital media classes. We believe
this will improve student learning and student job placement/transfer acceptance.
Assessment
There are no current assessment projects but we hope to initiate them in the near future.
Resources Needed to Meet Goals
Much of the work required to meet our goals will come from existing personnel resources. It is
important that we continue to have release time for Ceramics Program Coordinator, Graphics
Program Coordinator, and Music Program Coordinator so that they can devote time to managing
facilities, working on curriculum issues, advising students, promoting the department, and
recruiting students in collaboration with enrollment management. Our current space and budget
allotments are necessary to run our existing programs as we have a lot of supply and equipment
needs.

Addictions Study is an option of Human Services
Students ‘stack’ the degree with the Certificate of Specialization in Addictions Studies, completing
the Certificate then the AAS degree.
Strategic direction
Strategy 1. Redesign students’ experiences
Action Step 1. All students have academic maps developed upon entering the Human Services
programs and follow their maps until graduation. MAP is reviewed at the beginning of each
semester.
Action Step 2. The department chair and faculty teaching developmental education courses
continue to work together creating a smoother transition for students completing developmental
education courses to enter Human Services career training programs. Additionally, student
services staff, tutors, faculty and chair work continue to work together to assist students
experiencing academic challenges and other barriers early in the semester to address any issues
and to provide additional study support when necessary.
Strategy 2. Operationalize one college
Action Step 1. Human Services program faculty across the college continue to schedule meetings
to work together on program development to improve “customer” and student services in
advising and directing Human Services majors.
Action Step 2. Human Services program faculty across the college are working to
develop/increase quality experiential learning opportunities by evaluating current approved
clinical sites and updating (removing/adding) sites that provide opportunity for appropriate and
effective skill development of our students.
Strategy 3. Strengthen Identity and community awareness of STLCC
Action Step 1. The Human Services program continues outreach and community engagement
activities via the activities of our student clubs and faculty.
Action Step 2. The Human Services program and the Dean of Humanities will outreach to
community agencies/organizations and other entities to develop relationships and opportunities
to provide courses within the community.
The Human Services program contributes to the general education program by generating credit
course hours and collaborating when possible on development of general education program
courses that meet the academic needs of Human Service majors.

Curriculum
The Forest Park Human Services program will focus on curriculum development for the Associate
of Applied Science Disability Studies degree in accordance with the recommendations of the
program Community Advisory Committee, and curriculum revisions for the Associate of Applied
Science in accordance with Program Review recommendations. Low enrollments, budgetary and
time constraints may prove to be challenging as we continue to implement Program Review and
Community Advisory Board recommendations.
Program Review for the Associate of Applied Science Human Services degree program was
completed spring 2015. We expect that there may be some recommendations for curriculum
changes from the program review committee and will also meet with the program Community
Advisory Committee, fall 2015 to solicit any additional recommendations for curriculum changes.
Assessment
It has been determined that the Portfolio is a more effective tool to better assess student
preparedness for entry level positions in the field of Human Services. The application to use the
Portfolio as the Technical Skills Assessment too for the Human Services Disability Studies program
is being completed.
Resources Needed to Meet Goals
The Human Services program (Forest Park) ideally needs 1 additional full time instructor.
Budgetary needs for all three Human Services programs include costs for faculty, fringe benefits,
operating expenses, supplies, services and travel, totaling $164,500.
Significant Faculty, Staff, and Student Accomplishments
The Human Services Program – STLCC Forest Park currently operates with 1 full time instructor

Math HELP Lab Annual Report for 2014/2015
Math HELP Description
The Math HELP Lab is a diverse learning community assisting students enrolled in developmental
math classes and college level math classes below College Algebra. We offer small group and
one-on-one instruction to strengthen basic math, algebra, and study skills. We help students
register and use MyMathLab, which delivers mandatory online assignments for every
developmental math course. Additional courseware, videos, and handouts are also available. All
Math HELP tutors are adjunct math faculty at St. Louis Community College or other professionals
with degrees in math or a related field. Our staff promotes self-directed learning in a
collaborative and supportive environment.
We rely on Accutrack to keep accurate records and generate meaningful reports. The reports are
filtered to only show Math Lab activity which is the Math HELP Lab in L021 and the self-paced
math computer classroom in L031. We currently do not distinguish between classroom visits and
tutor visits. Please note that a significant number of usage data never gets entered in Accutrack
due to user sign in errors and the lack of time for staff to transfer manual sign-ins on paper to
Accutrack.

Our strategic direction is improving academic achievement and student learning. Our primary
strategic goal is to help students successfully complete developmental requirements and advance
to credit bearing courses. The coordinator of the Math HELP Lab collaborates with the manager
of the Academic Support Center to discuss and implement strategies to improve student success
and to align our operating procedures to provide a consistent user experience. The coordinator
of the Math HELP Lab also works closely with the math department chair and the developmental
math coordinator to ensure that the tutoring experience is a valuable extension of the classroom.
The quality of instruction that our tutors deliver directly contributes to the strategic plan of the
college.
Math HELP Data
The Math HELP Lab is located in room L021 at Forest Park. During the fall and spring semesters,
our operating hours are from 8 am – 8 pm Monday through Thursday and from 8 am – 2 pm on
Friday. We have reduced operating hours and staffing during summer classes. No appointment
is necessary. We provide tutoring for Mth: 004, 020, 030, 040, 108, 124, and 140. We also
provide math tutoring for students enrolled in courses that have a significant math component
such as nursing (dosage test), business (basic statistics), and science (metric conversions).
We offer a minimum of 2 tutors per hour for our 54 operating hours per week. During peak
times, we try to have 4 tutors per hour. It is not unusual to have a 5 to 1 student to tutor ratio in
the lab. We currently have 20 tutors and 2 student workers. 12 of our tutors are current or
recent adjunct faculty. A full time math faculty member receives some release time to
coordinate the Math Help Lab.
The main issue we hope to address the next academic year is raising the hourly wage for our
tutors. Currently, my best tutors are receiving about $3 more per hour working in other areas at
Forest Park such as the Adult Learning Academy or Math Classroom Educational Assistant.
Obviously, this makes it difficult to retain and attract talent.
STLCC-Forest Park 2014- 2015
90 | P a g e
Curriculum
In recent years, all Pre-Algebra students were subject to mandatory tutoring hours based on their
performance on in-class pretests for each unit. Faculty received electronic reports generated
from Accutrack that detailed each student’s lab usage. This year, the math department
eliminated the in-class unit pretests. Instead, we required every Pre-Algebra student to pass a
Gateway Exam on MyMathLab in the Math HELP Lab by the third week of the semester. Students
who did not pass the Gateway Exam by the deadline, were assigned mandatory tutoring hours for
the remainder of the semester. We used exactly the same procedure for every Elementary
Algebra student to either be exempt or be required to do mandatory tutoring based on passing
their Gateway Exam by the deadline. Based on feedback from math faculty at department
meetings, we will expand the Gateway Exam procedure to include every Intermediate Algebra
student. However, due to space limitations, we will either postpone or eliminate the Gateway
Exam for Pre-Algebra students for the next academic year.
Assessment
In recent years, our main method of assessment was surveys administered in class by the
instructor. We did not use in-class surveys this year. The only formal assessment method we
used was students submitting comments in our comment box located in the Math Lab. We need
to implement assessment techniques that do not rely solely on volunteer submissions.
Math HELP Resources Needed
Our current space and supplies are adequate. As mentioned in the last paragraph of the Data
section, we hope to raise the minimum tutoring wage to $18 per hour. This would require about
a 10% increase in the budget if we want to maintain our current staffing.
Accomplishments
The successful implementation of the mandatory Gateway Exam was a significant
accomplishment. Each staff member received training to have the necessary MyMathLab skill
level. Nearly all the instructors complied with the new policy which translated into a very busy
and demanding first few weeks of the semester.

How does the department contribute to the strategic plan of the college?
• The Writing Lab supports the college’s strategic plan by offering academic support for
students with writing assignments in ALL content areas, not just composition courses.
How does the department contribute to the general education program?
• The Writing Lab supports the general education program by offering academic support
for students with writing assignments in all general education courses.

General plug
The Forest Park Writing Lab is currently transitioning from a basic drop-in service to one
with broader-reaching implications:
• We are working with other campuses in the hopes of creating a singular online
tutoring resource.
• We are acting as a required support system and “home base” for one-credit English
courses for students who are struggling with the most basic developmental English
courses.
• We are working with the Forest Park Reading Lab to more effectively help students.

•
Number of tutors: 6
Indicate any anticipated issues facing the department or areas that are planned to be
addressed in the next academic year
Our greatest issues are service and budget.
By the nature of being a drop-in lab available for students’ with a wide range of
schedules, we must keep at least a minimum staff available during a broad range of days
and times. Because of this, we do not have enough money left for adequate coverage
during the busiest times of the semester, for a fully-developed online tutoring program,
or for Saturday hours.
During our busiest times, it is not unusual for students to be backlogged ten or more
people deep waiting for assistance. Even with volunteers from the English Department
faculty, we were unable to adequately service the students.
There is a desire among instructors who require research to bring classes to the lab for
“refresher sessions” on proper MLA/APA-style usage. This will be yet another strain on
our staff and budget.
Additionally, there has been a call for a “satellite” writing tutor to work with the writing portion
of their assignments DURING their research process in the library, a service which we most
certainly can’t offer at this time.
Lastly, additional strains will be placed on our budget by a program we are reviving. Starting in
Fall 2015, we will be the home base for students taking one-credit courses for students who are
struggling in developmental courses. The students will be required to work with tutors weekly on
their various assignments.

Reading Lab 2014-2015 Annual Report
I.
Department Executive Summary
A. Lab (Department) Overview
The Reading Lab is a diverse learning center that offers reading support to learners/students
at all levels and all phases of reading and skill improvement. The reading lab staff primarily
offers support and tutoring through one-on-one instruction designed to meet the learner
“where they are”, at all levels of ability, and to assist those learners in the improvement of
reading by developing metacognitive and individual skill strategies. The tutors provide
assistance in note taking, comprehension, vocabulary development, as well as computer
based applications (typically related to required texts). In addition, the lab provides assistance
to learners who seek help with Black Board related inquiries and Pearson –MyReadingLab sign
in and navigation requests.
Hours of operation change slightly from one semester to another in order to best meet the
needs of the learners. In general, during the 2014-2015 academic year we have been open to
learners at least 2 mornings a week, 2 afternoons a week and one evening a week. At times,
the evening staffing is a challenge.
B. 2015-2016 Strategic Direction
For the 2015-2016 academic year, the Reading lab will continue to offer assistance to readers
at all levels. However, implementation has started to offer more technology based services.
We have begun the process of changing textbooks at the 016/017 reading level. This
changeover in textbooks directly impacts the reading lab. In May 2015, Pearson publishing
sponsored training for the staff as it relates to technology and use of MyReadingLab. The
tutors who staff the lab were required to attend the training. This empowers them to assist
learners who have reading related concerns as well as those who lack technology based skills
necessary to navigate a course with e-textbooks and online labs.

We will face new challenges in the overall reading support operations as we move the
Reading 016/017 level readers into D 220 for instruction, and as we create a rotating schedule
for Reading 030 learners to cycle through L-007, which is next to L-003. The general
expectation is that the number of learners who pass through L-003 for services and support
will increase as a result of these new initiatives. There are preliminary discussions underway
with the Writing Center under the leadership of Hillary Wilson to more closely align reading
and writing for developmental learners, with an emphasis on the Rdg 030 learners.
Intentional integration of reading and writing is a strategic priority for the 2015-2016
academic year. Vocabulary issues—across the board, remain a significant hurdle for readers
at all levels at Forest Park.

Core Data Indicators:
1. Number of Students served:
Fall 2014
1,800 * (number of times "scanned into" L-003)
Spring 2015 1,000 * (number of times "scanned into" L-003)
Summer 2015 200 * (number not yet known)
The "scanned" students represent the number of visits to the lab; they include duplicated and
non-duplicated students. The asterisks indicate these are estimates.
2. The Reading lab staff includes Martha Harvey, Marlene Bake and Patti Trares. The
lab operation is assisted by work study students.
Assessment
1. During the fall 2015 semester, the lab staff will implement an assessment tool related to
meeting the “online” and technology based needs of our learners. The staff will be
considering ways to better track the following:
a) Student demographics
b) Immediate feedback as to direct reading lab experiences –emphasis on increased use of
Pearson MyReadingLab.
Resources Needed to Accomplish 2015-2016 Goals
1. Staffing Needs—the staffing needs for the lab will remain approximately at its current
level. Three (3) tutors is a staffing level that meets the needs of the learners who ask for or
require assistance. Though that staffing is just adequate for the number of learners who pass
through L-003; we may need to contemplate an increase in staffing. Work study students
who assist in the Reading lab are needed and are a welcome addition.
2. Space needs—at this time, the space needs are adequate for the learners and the staff. If
we are able to support learners at the highest possible level, additional space may be
required in upcoming years.
3. Budget needs—the current budget level (FY 2014-2015) is adequate for the 2015-2016
academic year. Close attention will be paid to increase in budgetary needs as potential traffic
increases.

Programs and Services Provided
Instructors in the English as a Second Language program provide tutoring assistance to
non-native speakers of English as they work on assignments for their Academic English,
grammar, pronunciation, and listening/note taking classes. 1-credit classes in Academic
English prep, writing skills, and vocabulary are also offered on recommendation of the ESL
staff. During Spring 2015, tutors and full-time faculty in ESL met to reassess our 1-credit
classes. We decided to resume offering both ENG 013 and 015 in summer, while we
decided to stop offering ENG 014 and ENG 017.

African American Male Initiative
Executive Summary
The persistent need for improved services to African-American males at
STLCC is high in comparison to other demographic groups, in the areas
of low persistence rates, academic difficulties, and other barriers. The
African-American Male Initiative at St. Louis Community College was
created as a response to the needs of African-American male students
on the Florissant Valley and Forest Park campuses. The program began
offering services to students in 2009 and is funded by two generous
grants from the Predominately Black Initiations awarded by the United
States Department of Education.
The project's purpose is to implement a comprehensive program of Keith Ware, Manager
student support services, academic interventions, peer and community mentoring, and
professional development for faculty and staff, with goals aimed at the following measureable
outcomes: persistence rates of project participants will increase to align with the rest of the
STLCC student body, measured by fall-to-fall persistence; academic achievement of project
participants will align with the rest of the STLCC student body, measured by grade point
average; and faculty and staff participating in staff development activities, conferences and site
visits will demonstrate increased awareness of and responsiveness to the needs of AfricanAmerican male students at STLCC, measured by participation in professional development
activities, staff and student feedback on evaluation instruments, and in interviews.
PROGRAM GOALS
1. To strengthen St. Louis Community College’s institutional capacity to serve AfricanAmerican males, and improve their educational outcomes.
• Create programing in conjunction with various entities at STLCC that will ensure
that the participants of AAMI will have the resources necessary to stay in sync
with their academics as well as surpass statistics put forth by STLCC.
2. Increase the persistence rates of African-American male students at St. Louis Community
College;
3. Increase the academic achievement levels of African-American male students at St. Louis
Community College;
• Work to create an atmosphere of comfort for our students with varied issues:
academic, mental, economic, socioeconomic, job related, criminal related or
other issues affecting the black male at STLCC. We aim to focus on retention,
academic achievement and provide services to these men with the help of AAMI
and other departments as well as our community partners.
STLCC-Forest Park 2014- 2015
98 | P a g e
4. Alter the perception of our students to the Faculty and the Staff of STLCC;
• Enhance the in-depth understanding and focus among faculty members and staff
regarding the array of challenges faced by African-American males as they enter
college. Many faculty and staff are unaware of the issue plaguing many of the
men in the Initiative and it will be the focus of the AAMI leadership team to keep
our peers aware and cognizant of what our men go through.
5. Enhance the leadership and development skills of the Mentoring aspect of the Initiative;
• The cornerstone of the African-American Male Initiative is our mentoring piece
which allows our students the opportunity to lead by example and work to
enhance the understanding of being college students to the vast array of men in
the program. Our mentors continue to be the foundation of the Initiative and the
gateway from STLCC to the four year universities.
The AAMI team works hard to support students by providing quality programming. Over 30
specialized events/workshops were provided for participants each semester on each campus.
Topics such as “Real Talk,” “Academic Success,” “Stress Management,” “Scholarship Search,”
and “Keys to Choosing the Right Career” were provided increasing student awareness,
engagement, and success. Along with the providing our own programming, the Initiative
reached out to neighboring departments to draw on what they were offering. On both
campuses AAMI utilized Career and Employment Services, the Academic Support Center along
with Library Services to make sure that our students were aware of the broad spectrum of
helpful resources provided by St. Louis Community College. The events provided by AAMI we
feel are extremely necessary to address the issues that seem to plague African-American male
students. We also partner with other departments to insure that students become acclimated
to the college academic environment. At capacity the Initiative services two-hundred students
(mentees) between the Forest Park and Florissant Valley campuses with an included forty
students (mentors) at the combined locations as well. With this amount of students we are able
to focus heavily on the above specialized activities in depth and in a manner that proves to be
beneficial to all who participate.
As the Initiative strives to move forward there are a few things that would work for the benefit
of the students more effectively. Smart Start courses are effective for those non-traditional
beginning students at STLCC but we believe a separate Smart Start Initiative may work to
enhance some of the issues which we focus on specifically within our program. On a monthly
basis we provide the various services for our students that cause us to utilize numerous spaces
on campus, and as we know space is a limited resource. The Initiative would be able to keep a
certain level of continuity by having a set classroom location for our events to take place which
would keep students engaged. We are in the process on working on budget items and are
hoping to fill vacancies which would allow continued success and more intimate in depth
opportunities for our students and staff.

Significant Accomplishments
Reference librarians provided 94 library instruction sessions throughout the academic year
2014/2015. A total of 7 one credit hour LIB 101: Introduction to Library and Online Research
courses were offered as a prerequisite for pre-nursing students. In this course students learn
how to identify and evaluate information resources effectively and efficiently. Librarians
responded to 3,416 reference and research queries, 97% of these queries were the traditional
in person sessions. Librarians also partnered with faculty to provide embedded services within
their courses. They collaborated to create viable library and research assignments via
Blackboard that utilize library resources. The assignments were customized specifically for each
course. The librarians provided resources, research strategies, guides and tutorials along with
incorporating the use of social media to support the teaching and learning outcomes specifically
related to the course.
In collaboration with department chairs and coordinators, the library manager and department
liaisons prepared reports and/or presented resource and service information to the visiting
accreditation teams for Funeral Services, Nursing and Diagnostic Medical Sonography.
Due to the increasing demand for additional tutoring services from students enrolled in
Anatomy and Physiology classes, another tutor was hired in the Bone Room. Services were
provided for over 1,500 students from various programs during the academic year 2014/2015.
Students from Florissant Valley, Meramec, Wildwood and the Harrison Education Center have
also used the resources and services in the Bone Room. Students at Florissant Valley were also
able to access the tutoring services and resources online via Blackboard Collaborate during
spring 2015. The Bone Room recently won the Campus Innovation of the Year Award for 2015.
The Bone Room was also presented at the very first ACRL Virtual Conference Poster Session in
March 2015.
Instructional designers conducted approximately 50 workshops for over 200 faculty and staff
during academic year 2014/2015. They encourage faculty and staff to “drop in” for support,
assistance or training and provide one-on-one assistance in this way for an average of 3 to 7
people each week. They also provide telephone and e-mail support to the Forest Park
community.
Media staff circulated 225 media items. The staff provided media equipment deliveries and
setups for classrooms and campus events.
Resources Needed to Meet Goals
Instructional Resources will benefit greatly with a renovation of the physical facility which may
include the relocation of resources and services to allow for greater expansion and continued
creativity of new programs and services for the campus community.
