Summary
All components of University College (UC) are fully operational and all OCR tasks have been
completed. Since fall 2000 all first-time, full-time freshmen at Prairie View A & M University
have been housed and/or advised within the UC program. A total of 5,100 students have
participated in the UC residential program, with considerable success. The annual retention rate
at PVAMU for the class entering in 1997 was 64.1% (This was the year following the first
ACCESS summer component, the program that led to UC.) Since UC’s opening in 2000 the
retention rate of the residential UC students has averaged 71%. In 1997 the first semester GPA of
freshmen at PVAMU was 2.24. Since UC’s opening in 2000 the first semester GPA of freshmen
living in UC has averaged 2.47.
During the next six months University College is anticipating final implementation of its
Professional Advisor Liaison (PAL) Program. This program enhances the interaction between
professional advisors and university faculty. The new Texas Success Initiative plan will be fully
implemented this fall to include the addition of several new courses to the university inventory.
3
UC will implement a new intensive academic mentoring program in the spring for students with
significant academic deficiencies as indicated by first semester grades. This program will
incorporate recommendations from the University Academic Council. UC will begin the
planning phase of a new Commuter Plan to provide better advisement and support services for
freshman commuter students.

Summary and Implementation Schedule
The ACCESS program is entering its ninth year. Overall, 756 students have completed the
program and another 140 were selected for summer 2004 participation with considerable
measures of success. The ACCESS students who matriculated at PVAMU between 1996 and
2001 had an average retention rate of 79.2%. This is 11% higher than the university’s average for
the same year groups. The ACCESS classes have exceeded the university’s first time, full time
overall freshman first semester GPA seven out of eight years. The first two ACCESS classes to
reach the six-year graduation point had an average graduation rate of 40.6%, over 5% above the
university’s average for those two year groups. During the last six months the ACCESS program
won a Texas Higher Education Star Award. In June ACCESS welcomed 140 participants, an
increase of 40% over the previous year. ACCESS may expand to 200 students in 2005. This will
require increasing the number of ACCESS personnel. Therefore, planning for the next year will
5
begin in late August. We will initiate faculty and staff selection in the fall and training will
commence after the first of the year.

Summary
The New Memorial Student Center (MSC) provides the institution with an opportunity to
centralize its student support services in the areas of enrollment services, food services, book
store, convenience store, and programs and activities for a growing student population that is
expected to exceed over 8,000 students in the fall 2004. Technological purchases in 2003-2004
provided an opportunity for staff and students to perform daily tasks that greatly enhanced and
facilitated the daily "one-stop" operations in the MSC. To maximize the potential of this facility
while maintaining a "one-stop" student support service that positively impacts recruitment,
retention and graduation, it is now necessary to develop additional strategies that will promote
the expansion of these programs. The planning strategies will include consideration of the use of
other facilities in order to continue to prepare to meet the needs of our growing student
population. The strategies will include the assessment of staffing needs and development of
programs that enhance the academic experiences of the students. The strategies will also include
how best to define and explore additional technological services and programs that will promote
7
self-service conveniences for students as well as increased efficiencies in the privacy and
protection of student data. The progress of these efforts will be chronicled and progress duly
noted.

Summary
The institution’s information technology needs have been formally determined through the Texas
Commitment to Prairie View A&M University’s Strategic Plan, the Uniform Recruitment and
Retention Plan and a campus-wide plan to infuse technology into the curriculum. Personnel
have been hired and equipment is being purchased on time as scheduled. The primary need at
this point is for continued upgrade and maintenance of the technology outlined in the original
Strategic Plan. Additional plans are to enhance user utilization of the technology. One
important step toward achievement of this objective was a new initiative involving the
outsourcing of Information Technology Management to SunGard Collegis, Inc. effective June 1,
2004. This decision is intended to allow the university to move the computing and information
technology “enterprise” forward at a much faster pace in all areas of campus support, primarily
in the area of enhancing computing and technology services and to significantly improve access
to the campus network for all students, particularly those students residing in housing located on
the Prairie View A&M University campus. To fund this will require that additional funds be reallocated to this OCR Plan Component from a number of other OCR Plan Components to the
11
extent that the President of PVAMU is authorized to make such transfers between OCR Plan
Components.

Summary
Strategies for improving the human resources function have been developed as part of the Texas
Commitment to Prairie View A&M University’s Strategic Plan. A survey has been conducted to assess
customer satisfaction with the human resource functions. The faculty and staff evaluation system has
been completely revised and new evaluation instruments have been developed and implemented. A
salary survey was conducted during June 2002 to determine faculty salary competitiveness with intrastate
peer institutions. During fall 2002, $397,697 was committed to merit salary increases, and $490,077 to
equity raises making current faculty salaries peer competitive. As of July 2003, a staff salary survey was
conducted to determine merit and equity needs in the staff area. Salaries of full professors were reviewed
in June 2003 to see if competitive and equity needs were being met and maintained. As of the NovemberDecember 2003 period, criteria were developed and applied concerning faculty raises, which were
implemented January 1, 2004. Staff raises, based on this criteria, will be implemented in spring, 2004.

Summary
In August 2003, the first year candidacy report for the College of Business was submitted to AACSB
International. The Candidacy Committee accepted the report in October 2003. The Committee
recognized the progress made especially in the area of faculty intellectual contributions. The second year
Candidacy Report will be submitted in August 2004. By August 1, 2004, the Dean will also send an
application to the Accreditation Committee requesting evaluation for initial accreditation. This will allow
the accreditation visit to be scheduled for spring 2006. If successful, the College will attain AACSB
initial accreditation in four years (normally this is a seven-year process). The Strategic Plan and the SelfStudy reports are being prepared. A “mock visit” is scheduled for October 2004. Seven new faculty
members with appropriate credentials have been recruited and will join the College as tenure track faculty
in fall 2004.

Summary
The construction of the Nursing building is about 30% complete and 30% of the construction money has
been spent. Construction is about six months behind schedule due to weather delays. The heavy rain
created a large opening, which filled with water and needed to be pumped out; this largely caused the
delay. The concrete structure is up to the 2nd floor on the tower side of the nursing building. The
underground work of beams, foundation, plumbing, and electrical is in preparation to start the structure on
the ground for the garage side. Anticipated construction completion date is May 1, 2005. This means
that the building will be ready for occupancy by July 2005, if every thing continues on schedule.

Summary
A Faculty Practice Plan was adopted by the College of Nursing in spring 2004 (March 17, 2004). The
plan supports the faculty’s beliefs that teaching, research, practice, and service must be closely integrated
to achieve excellence in nursing education.
Initially, a proposal to establish the Research and Faculty Development Center was submitted to the
Office of the Vice Chancellor (TAMUS) for review in July 2003. Based on the feedback which was
rendered, a revised proposal for the Center is projected by September 2004.
Future projections include: Submit another proposal for the establishment of the Research and Faculty
Development Center, continue to develop new initiatives to support enrollment and retention and prepare
self-study documents for scheduled on-site accreditation visits in fall 2005 by the National League for
Nursing Accrediting Commission and the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education.

Summary
As part of the plan to enhance the College of Engineering, there was a continued effort to support the Office of
Recruitment; faculty development; the College’s fuel cell and robotics initiatives; administrative staff; laboratory
upgrades; student wages; website development; and technician support. Additionally, there was continued support of
the Chair of the College ABET (Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology) Committee. There will be
reaccredidation visits for the four engineering programs and two engineering technology programs in fall 2004. A
student team participated and finished 2nd in the 2004 Student Lunar Construction Robotics Competition last March.

Summary
In the Construction Science Department, growth has occurred at: the Junior level, (3rd year), from
community college transfers; the freshman level from entering freshmen; and at all levels from the
retention of students who might otherwise have departed for another institution (these are principally
architecture and engineering students at this point). There are two-dozen students taking construction
courses who have declared their intention to major in construction. We are anticipating an increase in
numbers to 60 students, which will make the program self-supporting under the formulas. A selfassessment of the program was conducted in the spring semester of 2004. Targets, (requirements for
accreditation) that were initiated this past semester were: (1) Industry Advisory Board creation, (2) student
organization establishment, (3) curriculum updates for new accreditation requirements, and (4) recruiting
activity expansion. During the fall 2004 semester we will induct our nominees to form the first Board of
Advisors. We will “draft” officers for a student chapter of the National Association for Home Builders
(NAHB) and compel membership. We will invite the ASC to conduct a consulting visit and submit the
requisite curriculum updates for accreditation. Recruiting efforts will continue. A Work / Study /
Scholarship Plan for the New Construction Science Department in the School of Architecture at Prairie
33
View A&M University is underway for the coming academic year. In addition to the Coordinator, there
are three other faculty members in the School of Architecture who are teaching construction courses.

Summary
The School of Architecture in 2003-2004 visited a total of 83 high schools, 12 community colleges, and 10
middle schools for recruiting purposes. We are anticipating for the fall 2004 semester 140 prospective
students (Architecture and Construction Science) that have been admitted. In spring 2004, 21 students
were in their last year of the Master of Architecture and 73 freshmen students were admitted for the 5-year
Master of Architecture. Among these students, there were 17 Hispanics, 5 Whites, and 2 Asians, which
support the “Closing the Gaps” initiative. Student enrollment in the School of Architecture has doubled: in
fall 2001, there were only 115 Students. In fall 2002, the total number of students increased to 174. In fall
2003, there were a total of 281 students in the School of Architecture. There are 208 students pursuing the
five-year Master of Architecture degree. The School graduated the first group of students with a five-year
Masters Degree in Architecture in August 2003. In spring 2004, the School graduated five students with
the Master of Architecture degree. As of today, we graduated 13 students with the Master of Architecture
degree. All aspects of the program are on schedule. The School’s next reaccredidation visit will be in
2006. The School of Architecture hosted the Southwest Regional Conference for the Association of
Collegiate School of Architecture (ACSA), and it was a success. We anticipate an increase in the School’s
enrollment as soon as the new building is completed. When this building is completed, it will be
35
acknowledged as a true work of art, showcasing modern technology. This will bring more prestige to our
University and should increase enrollment quite significantly. As an example, the Director of the 9th
International Architecture Exhibition in Italy chose our new School of Architecture building to be
exhibited from September 12 to November 7, 2004 at la Biennale di Venezia in Italy. This exhibit will also
travel to China to participate in another show.

Summary
The construction of the Architecture Building is proceeding as scheduled, despite delays due to weather.
Monies spent is on schedule too. The building is now 40% complete and 40% of the construction money
has been used. The interior plumbing and electrical is being installed, the exterior brick is being laid out,
and the steel structure is being completed. The builders started on the roof and the sunscreen and are
waiting for the exterior aluminum and glass to arrive. Anticipated completion date is April 1, 2005,
which means the approximate occupancy date would be in June of 2005. The Director of the 9th
International Architecture Exhibition in Italy chose our new School of Architecture building to be
exhibited from September 12 to November 7, 2004 at la Biennale di Venezia in Italy. The Director is
requesting drawings and the model to be shipped to Italy for the exhibit that will be visited by people,
from every nation, who have an interest in the built environment. This exhibit will also travel to China to
participate in another show.

Summary
Ketchum, Inc. has been selected to serve as the Capital Campaign Council. The contract to hire Ketchum,
Inc. was approved at the December 2002 Texas A&M University Board of Regents meeting. The “silent
phase” of the campaign began fall 2003. The campaign steering committee has had 10 committee
meetings since the start of the campaign. The campaign committee adopted “Extend the View – Shape
tomorrow today” as the campaign theme.
Three solicitation training sessions have been held with a total of 24 volunteers trained in addition to
persons who serve on the campaign cabinet and those who are members of the Office of Research and
Development. Six awareness gatherings have been held on campus where 380 faculty and staff
participated. Additionally, campaign awareness activities have taken place at national and local alumni
meetings and with special audiences where the University President, Dr. George C. Wright, has been the
keynote speaker. Dr. Willie Trotty, Vice President for Research and Development has included campaign
awareness information in his presentations to corporations and others who partner with the university in
its R&D efforts. On May 1, 2004, Ms Monica Williams was hired as the Director of Development. Her
knowledge and skills in the area of development and fundraising are already evident.
42
With efforts to date, the capital campaign has generated $507,775 in cash contributions and an additional
$729,570 in pledges. These amounts will increase after the National Alumni Convention next month.
Individuals are already preparing to give cash gifts and make their pledges.

Summary
The endowed chair needs were identified and scheduled for establishment as part of the Texas
Commitment to Prairie View A&M University’s Strategic Planning process and Legislative Budget
Board (LBB) budget process. The first four endowed chairs will be filled in Computer Science, Electrical
Engineering, Educational Leadership, and Biology. The fund-raising campaign has been fully
implemented. Fund allocation and investment strategies from the Texas A&M System are being used for
the program at this point. Criteria, requirements and responsibilities for individuals awarded each chair
will be determined during the next semiannual reporting cycle. The program is returning to its original
schedule in conjunction with the revised capital campaign. The capital campaign’s need to provide
matching funds and the disruption caused by, among other things, the November 2003 death of Mr. Willie
Tempton, who was heading the capital campaign, has resulted in some delays in implementing this
program. The acceleration of the Capital Campaign should allow securing the dollar matching funds
needed to establish these chairs.

Summary
Revised plans to create a Ph.D. program in Clinical Juvenile Forensic Psychology were initiated in fall
2003. The word “Clinical Adolescent” has been added to the new program: “Juvenile” and “Forensic”
have been deleted. The program’s new name is “Clinical Adolescent Psychology.” This plan had earlier
been scheduled for 2006 with no funding but implementation has been moved to 2004; OCR funds were
shifted to assist with costs, and benchmarks were added accordingly, in consultation with Coordinating
Board personnel.

Summary
This project started about a month behind the “Program of Requirement” schedule. The design was
completed and the 100% Construction Document phase was approved and signed for on June 9, 2004.
Since the existing building demo project was delayed, the site for this project is not ready for construction
to begin. The pre-construction conference for the demolition of the existing buildings was held on June
17, 2004. The contract for the demolition is expected to be signed in a few days. Demolition will start on
July 1, and will take about 150 days with a completion date at the end of October 2004. Advertisement
for construction bids will be disseminated around July 1, and it will take until October to have a general
contractor selected and a construction contact signed. This means construction would commence around
November 2004. The construction will take about 18 months. An estimate for construction completion is
May 2006, with occupancy of the building beginning in July 2006.

Summary
The Ph.D. Program in Educational Leadership has completed the final phase of the approval process. A
site visit was conducted by an external Review Team consisting of three (3) evaluators: Dr. Paul Meyer,
former Director of Academic Affairs, Division of Universities and Health-Related Institutions, Texas
Higher Education Coordinating Board; Dr. Alfonzo Thurman, Dean, Professor and Deputy Chancellor for
Education Partnerships, University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, Wisconsin; and Dr. Ron Jones, Associate
Dean for Academic Affairs and Instruction, and Associate Professor, Educational Leadership and Policy
Studies, Florida State University. The review was very positive. Dr. Meyer recommended the program
for final approval to the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board at its January 2003 meeting. Efforts
are underway to attract more senior level, experienced faculty as well as upgrading the library holdings to
support the new program. The process to secure more high-quality faculty delayed the start of the
program until September 2004 from its original September 2003 date. The chair is seeking approval from
SACS for a substantive change. Also, Dr. William Parker, the Dean of the Graduate School and the chair
of this program suffered some major illnesses during fall 2003, which further delayed the implementation
of the program until fall 2004. New hires have been made and the program is on schedule to begin fall
2004.

Summary
Twenty-two graduate students are enrolled in the MS in Computer Science program. As of May 8, 2004,
five students graduated with a MS in Computer Science, and of the five students, three will work on their
Ph.D. in Computer Science beginning fall 2004. Some of the students’ theses have been, or are being
published. Four graduate students have participated in the Weapon System Technical Data Knowledge
Management Project (Data Conversion) since fall semester 2003. In spring semester 2004, there were
twelve teaching assistants and four research assistants conducting research and teaching computer science
service courses under the supervision of faculty members.
During the next six months, we plan to recruit more graduate students, upgrade the distance learning and
video conference facilities, and offer more evening and weekend courses.

Summary
Eighteen graduate students are enrolled in the Information Systems MS Program. There is an
ongoing research project “Data Conversion” within the department, and two graduate students
have been participating in the Weapon System Technical Data Knowledge Management Project
(Data Conversion) since fall semester 2003. Faculty and students wrote and have submitted two
articles for publication from current research. Of the two articles, one was a conference paper
and the second article was a journal paper. In fall semester 2003, there were eight students
conducting research and teaching computer science courses under the supervision of faculty
members.
During the next six months, we plan to recruit more graduate students, upgrade the distance
learning and video conference facilities, and offer more evening and weekend courses.

Summary
Two full-time faculty members with the necessary credentials have been recruited this year to
begin teaching in fall 2004. The current student enrollment stands at 14 students. Some of these
students are also pursuing MBA degrees. The College has marketed the new program through a
billboard on Hwy 290, among other means. The College is cultivating area accounting firms and
the IRS for support, placement, and guest speakers. Several assistantships were given to
promising students.

Summary
The program is proceeding well ahead of schedule. The masters degree program in Community
Development started during fall semester 2001 with one full-time coordinator, one part-time
faculty member, and seven students. As of this writing (2004), the program’s enrollment is over 50
students with three full-time and two part-time faculty members. Overall this program has provided our
students with an option to continue their education at PVAMU, instead of going elsewhere to seek
academic training in community planning and nonprofit organizations. Our students are drawn from
practically every undergraduate discipline on campus. The multiple skills and talents brought individually
to the program, collectively enhance the educational and development of all students. Our program, as
intended, has become a great asset to the University as an agent for academic out-reaches, through
community research and involvement. Being a land-grant institution, this program is one of few on the
campus that truly allows us to address all three missions of our University (teaching, research and service)
from the University, faculty and student perspectives. Only a few universities in the United States offer a
program that addresses community development from these three perspectives: social, economic and
64
physical. The Masters in Community Development program has opened the door for three new programs,
(certifications in Historic Preservation, Fundraising and Community Planning). A significant opportunity
that this masters program presents is a gateway to a doctoral program in community development. We
hope to find funding for the program and anticipate implementation of this program by 2006.

Current projects include: a Community Center, Marlin, Texas; Mary Allen Seminary, Crockett, Texas;
Ex-Student Association, Taylor, Texas; Main Street Revitalization Project, Waller, Texas; City
Hall/Municipal Complex, Katy, Texas; Navasota Beautification Project, Navasota, Texas; Master Plan
Study, Prairie View, Texas; Carmine City Park, Carmine, Texas; Good Shepherd Church, Prairie View,
Texas. Possible future projects include: Freedman’s Town Project, City of Houston; African-American
Museum Project, City of Houston. The CURES Center is also involved in the following community
outreach services: organized a Town Hall meeting that was held in Taylor, Texas; prepared a Town Hall
meeting that was held in Crockett, Texas; organized a Town Hall meeting that was held in Marlin, Texas;
and is preparing for the CDC conference that will be held in October in Prairie View, Texas. We
continue to write proposals seeking additional funding for the center so we can continue community
projects that benefit rural and urban communities in Texas with elderly and low-income citizens. We
were featured on Cross Roads on Channel 13 with two of our staff publicizing the CURES Center. The
Acting Director of CURES continuously meets with members of the community and disseminates
information about the services provided by the Center. Almost all projects are joint efforts by the
CURES Center, TIPHC, the Masters degree program in Community Development and Architects and
67
students from the School of Architecture. We are currently recruiting a Director to replace the former
Director who joined TAMU.

Summary
The faculty recruitment campaign has been largely completed. Through this campaign, the percentage of
faculty with terminal degrees has been increased from 62% in November 2000 to 79% in spring 2004 and
is expected to remain fairly stable with this percentage. Approximately three-fourths of the current
faculty at present have terminal degrees, which is competitive with intrastate peers. Targeted faculty
recruitment efforts continue primarily in the College of Arts and Sciences and the College of Nursing. By
fall 2002 the institution had attained terminal degree percentages competitive with intrastate peers. Also,
faculty recruitment for high-quality, graduate-level faculty for the Educational Leadership doctorate and
the new Clinical Forensic Psychology doctorate has accelerated with success during the last six months.
The new doctoral programs in Clinical Forensic Psychology and Educational Leadership, with their
demands for senior faculty, should help sustain or increase this percentage. Salary upgrades, noted earlier,
have been helpful in attracting and retaining high-quality faculty, with additional salaries for some
faculty, based on prescribed scholarly criteria, started taking place aggressively in January 2004.

Summary
Significant fall 2003 programs included the Woolfolk Lecture Series, which recognized the enormous
contribution of Dr. George Ruble Woolfolk to public higher education in Texas. During Black History
Month in February 2004, the Culture Center co-sponsored several events. One event was Brown v. Board
of Education (1954) commemorating the 50th anniversary of the landmark Supreme Court decision on
school desegregation and equal protection. In March 2004, the center organized and sponsored The
Buffalo Soldiers Exhibit. A current research project is the Galveston Historical Update: 1986 –2000. The
Galveston district of the Army Corps of Engineers has commissioned the TIPHC to conduct primary and
secondary research on the history of its accomplishments over the period. A second phase of this research
project is being discussed with the Galveston Army Corps of Engineers. The center continues its oral
history projects. We are working on documenting the life and contribution of Ms. Lucille Bishop Smith,
to be honored by the City of Fort Worth at the Evanfest Juneteenth festival this month. The Community
Development graduate program, in conjunction with the TIPHC, and the CURES Center, developed a
certification program in Historic Preservation similar to the one at TAMU, which is part of their School of
Architecture. With the limited number of African Americans trained in historic preservation, the
development of a certification program in this area would be of great benefit to the entire state. The
71
Institute, along with the School of Architecture and the CURES Center, will also assist with the
restoration of abandoned historical buildings within traditionally African American neighborhoods. The
Institute is currently assisting the Mary Allen Museum of African American Art and History Project to
restore the abandoned Administration Building at Mary Allen Seminary for Colored Girls in Crockett,
Texas. The TIPHC is also in the process of working on a Cemetery Restoration Initiative. We are in the
process of identifying a replacement to the former director who moved to another state.
