Final Forms, 9/29/14

Note: Chabot is in the process of creating our next Educational Master Plan, to last six years.
Educational Master Plans are generally large enough in scope to be flexible. They are used in particular at the District Level to guide in facility and community planning.
Please take this moment to reflect on your program’s larger term vision(s) and goals (6 years), and to incorporate them into Program Review under the section “What Changes Do We
Suggest” as a separate paragraph or otherwise. The drafters of the Educational Master Plan will be mining Program Review for contributions to the plan, with a commitment to read what programs have submitted. IR has offered to work with programs to determine future market trends to be incorporated into this year’s program review in relation to long-term goals. Please contact Carolyn Arnold for support. We will have other avenues to communicate with the
Educational Master Plan Consultants. This is simply one avenue.

What are you most proud of?
The most significant accomplishment was the refurbishment of the Student Center, building
2300. The refurbishment included new furniture for the cafeteria, balcony, cafeteria lobby, and Student Life office. Funding for the furniture was provided by provided by the SSCC and private donors. The balcony also received new carpet and fresh paint on the rail. In the student center lobby, vending machines were moved to create more seating areas for the new furniture. In addition to these improvements, a significant amount of clean up was done to walls and floors in all of these areas. These changes have made significant improvement to the look and functionality of the Student Center, making it a more inviting space for relaxing, eating, socializing, and studying. These types of spaces are limited on this campus making it vital to that we look to maintain and improve the space that is available.
What challenges did you face that may have prevented achieving your goals?
The biggest challenges faced by the Student Life office were related to staffing. In terms of time and commitment there were no full time staff dedicated to Student Life. The mix of part time staff (Operations Coordinator and Flea Market Coordinator) and split time staff (VPSS and
SSCC Faculty advisor). Additionally the transition between Operations Coordinators created problems in continuity and consistency, particularly with regards to advising, policy enforcement, and documentation of activities and services provided.
These challenges have made it clear that the Student Life office is a people oriented operation and a strong staffing model is crucial to our ability to provide services as processing requests for resources, answering questions about policy and procedures, advising student organizations and consulting on the planning of co-curricular events.
While we recognize that this was a transition year while the Director of Student Life search was happening, we cannot understate the importance of staffing for this area. An appropriate staffing plan is vital to providing the resources and services of the Student Life office and maximizing the investment already made in the Director of Student Life.
Review the Strategic Plan goal and key strategies at http://www.chabotcollege.edu/prbc/StrategicPlan/SPforPR.pdf
prior to completing your narrative. Please complete Appendices E (New Initiatives) and F1-8 (Resources Requested) to further detail your narrative. Limit your narrative to two pages, and be very specific about what you hope to achieve, why, and how.
• Given your experiences and student achievement results over the past year, what changes do you suggest to your course/program improvement plan?
4

o
Create more avenues for communication with student leaders, faculty and staff event organizers, and the general public about Student Life and SSCC events, programs, services, resources, etc. o
Utilize technology to make processes more efficient and allow for better record keeping. o
Review policy and procedures around event planning, publicity, student organizations finance, recognition process, etc. o
Add more administrative support to help people get access to resources and execute services provided by the Student Life office.
• What new initiatives might you begin to support the achievement of our Strategic Plan goal?
Student Life will be leading a comprehensive review and initiate upgrades with regards to advertising on campus. Our goal is to both increase our capacity to get information to students but do so with respect to maintenance and facility issues.
We will be assessing electronic communication through social media and other forms of online outreach, passive communication through mediums such as bulletin boards, kiosks, and electronic monitors/signage, and active communication such as tabling and distributing flyers person to person.
Our hope is ensure that we have the resources to communicate and advertise activities, programs, and services through a variety of mediums. Increasing variety of mediums and overall capacity to get information to student will have many benefits to the campus such as:
Increasing participating and engagement in activities, programs, etc.
Increase utilization of services on campus
Encourage others to develop new initiatives, programs, etc.
• Do you have new ideas to improve student success as supported by your area? o
Improve Communication and publicity regarding special events, programs, and services through:

How has your investment of the budget monies you did receive improved student learning? When you requested the funding, you provided a rationale. In this section, assess if the anticipated positive impacts you projected have, in fact, been realized.
The most significant investment made was in hiring a Director of Student Life(listed above as “other”) to provide overall vision and direction to the office. Having an administrator level staff is an essential building block for Student Life as it provides for thoughtful planning, implementation, and assessment of programs and resources for co-curricular activities, experiential learning, and leadership development.
2.
What has been the impact of not receiving some of your requested funding? How has student learning been impacted, or safety compromised, or enrollment or retention negatively impacted?
Student Life has a minimal amount of funds outside of the staffing budget. More specifically this lack of programming and supply funding limits our ability to initiate programming out of the Student Life office.
The funds available have been primarily used to support initiatives by other entities on campus (faculty, staff, student organizations, etc.) making programs based on the individual interests of these parties.
Programs developed by the Student Life office would be based on need with respect to overall perspective of the needs of the campus. Needs would be based on Institutional Research data, qualitative data based on interactions with student leaders, faculty and staff, and the experience and expertise of the Student Life professionals. By nature these programs are larger in scope and require a significant amount of supplies and services funding.
This leaves the SSCC as the primary source of funding for co-curricular programming. While the SSCC is an important part of the student experience and the shared governance structure, the high turnover nature of this organization presents challenges in creating on-going programs and services. The constant transition within this organization also creates delays in the execution of funding disbursements, particularly requests made far in advance in spite of the fact that we encourage

thoughtful advanced planning.

Rationale for your proposal.
The Student Life office focuses on providing resources and developing policy and procedure around co-curricular experiences. Working with the student leaders, faculty, and staff on accessing these resources and understanding policy and procedure requires a significant amount of staffing to process requests, provide information, and consult with these constituents.
Additional staff would improve the functionality and efficiency of the Student Life office in several ways. Adding a half time classified staff and another student office assistant would ensure that the Student Life office would have staff present at all times to take questions and process requests (i.e. club applications, funding requests, publicity requests, matching funds request, etc.) . This can be especially challenging with the number of events that Student Life is involved with. Having a classified professional staff is especially beneficial as it will provide a more stable presence in the office, particularly as we grow the Student Life program.
Proposed new positions for student assistants for public relations work are in response for the demand for more and better communication about campus events, programs, and services on campus. These student assistants would be charged with leading a volunteer team of students focused solely on getting information out to the campus about the many programs and events on campus. This team of students would allow for both active and passive advertising of events. Passive advertising would include hanging poster/flyers and maintaining outdoor bulletin boards and student center bulletin boards. Keeping information up to date and fresh would provide a significant boost to the current publicity efforts. More importantly, this new set of student assistants would be responsible for a more active marketing such as tabling, handing out flyers, and talking to students about upcoming programs, events etc. This group would also be responsible for supporting the many campus tour requests we receive from local programs and prospective students. This is not only a need on this campus, but a having Student Life component in these campus tours would showcase the active and progressive campus culture at Chabot College to our prospective students.
14

There is an impressive array of activities, service projects, and other leadership opportunities happening on the Chabot College campus. Too often this is the product of determined individuals achieving great things in spite of the campus infrastructure rather than because of it. We firmly believe that a minimal investment of adding one half-time classified and three student assistants would set a strong foundation for the campus infrastructure around co-curricular programs and services. We acknowledge the significance of brining in a Director of Student Life to provide leadership, guidance, and stability to this program. With additional staffing we will have a strong foundation for co-curricular programming and experiential learning while and maximize the effectiveness of the Director of Student Life hire.
We firmly believe that a solidly staffed Student Life office would provide more support for the leadership development and experiential learning happening at Chabot College, encourage others to join in the efforts to create the opportunities, and also allow the Student Life office to initiate more programs, services, and activities as an agent of the Student Services Division of Chabot College.
3.
Statements about the alignment with the strategic plan and program review are required. Indicate here any information from advisory committees or outside accreditation reviews that is pertinent to the proposal.
The proposed staffing request for the Student Life office aligns with Strategic Plan Goal through support of Strategy/Initiative #3 – “Help the undecided to define a goal.” This requests supports the desire to incorporate the SSCC (strategy 3c) into this initiative by allowing the Student Life office to better serve as a liaison to the SSCC and assist in our ability to help the SSCC determine and execute their plans to support the Strategic Plan and working with undecided students. Additional staff in the Student Life office also supports the First Year Experience program(strategy 3F) directly by creating more resources for outreach and publicity and indirectly by allowing more opportunities for leadership and co-curricular opportunities as part of the First Year Experience. Most importantly, the Student Life office plays an essential role in helping students determine their passion (strategy 3H) by supporting student led programs and activities through student organizations and the SSCC. Providing opportunities and support for students to follow their passion is at the heart of the mission of the Student Life office and our ability to communicate this to students and effectively deliver service and advising is highly dependent on our infrastructure.
This proposed staffing plan also supports the Educational Master Plan, primarily the goal to “Enhance the college’s image in the community through increase community partnerships, collaboration, and service.” The Student Life office seeks to be the point of contact for community organizations seeking to get information to students, recruiting students to participate in special events and programs, and other experiential learning opportunities in the community. The
Student Life office also seeks to create opportunities for experiential learning in service of the local community through leadership programs, student organizations, and special initiatives. Finally, this proposal directly supports the desire to “Increase programs and activities that bring the community to campus” as Student Life is primary campus entity supporting and initiating programs and activities.
A portion of this would be achieved through the additional administrative support being proposed and the general ability to do more as an office. More specific to this goal, public relations student assistants would directly support this goal by providing an avenue to outreach to community partners and to support community partners seeking to come to campus and learn more about Chabot College through the lens of Student Life and the unique culture of supporting student success and leadership.
This staffing proposal supports both the Strategic Plan and the Educational Master plan indirectly by creating the ability to provide more and better programs and services in regards to experiential learning and co-curricular programs and directly supports them by creating additional resources for effective communication both within the campus and to the greater campus community.

Audience: Facilities Committee, Administrators
Purpose: To be read and responded to by Facilities Committee.
Background: Following the completion of the 2012 Chabot College Facility Master Plan, the Facilities Committee (FC) has begun the task of reprioritizing Measure B Bond budgets to better align with current needs. The FC has identified approximately $18M in budgets to be used to meet capital improvement needs on the Chabot College campus. Discussion in the FC includes holding some funds for a year or two to be used as match if and when the State again funds capital projects, and to fund smaller projects that will directly assist our strategic goal. The FC has determined that although some of the college's greatest needs involving new facilities cannot be met with this limited amount of funding, there are many smaller pressing needs that could be addressed. The kinds of projects that can be legally funded with bond dollars include the "repairing, constructing, acquiring, equipping of classrooms, labs, sites and facilities." Do NOT use this form for equipment or supply requests.
