1. How has your investment of the budget monies you did receive improved your Service Area
Outcomes? 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 Office of Student Life created a Club Contacts poster board that highlighted all the clubs and their
contact information for visitors to the office. OSL was also able to purchase a white board to track all
upcoming club events and meetings which also help visitors see where the activity is on campus, as well
as a white board for staff schedules and meetings to increase communication and collaboration with the
student assistants and classified staff. At least twenty clubs have documented their activities on this
white board this spring semester. Furthermore, at least three ICC/Club Officer Training meetings were
held where event planning procedure handouts were disseminated increasing the effectiveness of the
student leaders and advisors in planning quality events.
2. What has been the impact of not receiving some of your requested funding? How has your ability to
serve the college and our students been impacted, or safety compromised?
OSL did not have any staff other than the Student Services Assistant who organizes the ASCC Flea
Market in the fall 2012 semester due to the resignation of the Director in August just before the term
began. The Dean of Counseling provided interim support to the office in the fall term, but the staffing
was not available to serve students, community members, vendors and club leaders at least 30 hours
per week.
