
Greetings from SGA President…………………………………………..……………....…...Mr. McCord
 Thanks for all your hard work. Students admire each faculty member and appreciates their commitment. They
are viewed with high regard and students feel a special connection. SGA’s connection to faculty as a whole as
shared governors that will benefit many constituencies. Main goal: to improve lecture halls. Look forward to
working together this year.
Chancellor’s Report………………………………………..……………….………..…….......…Dr. Sartarelli
 Just spoke with 133 honors students, they sent 146 questions which is Illustrative of high importance items.
Liberal arts is fundamental. What made you want to become an educator? What are your hobbies? Movies,
westerns, tennis, travel, hiking. Single most important rule to succeed in college: focus. Did serving as a member
of council of Americas affect your office? Plans for addressing diversity? SP will provide focus, but starts in
admin and faculty and translates to students. What do you miss about Brazil? Family, food. Why did you leave?
Came in 1967 to finish high school. JFK was epitome. Peace Corps, space program and loved overseas. He
projected a great image of this country. Kit-kat and dreams of waltzing. Teal, how education will change the
future? It is fundamental, foundational, life-changer.
 We have spent a lot of time on strategic planning; 7 workgroups developed, each has good faculty
representation. Enrollment peaked last year and dropped a little this year. In recruiting transfer students:
visiting with community colleges; will visit all and reinforce relationships. Starting search for the Associate Vice
Chancellor of International Programs. Shooting for 1000-1500 students in the international program. Online
education is a big part of the future. It is a little harder for faculty to teach online; some will love it and some will
not. Mission statements are being revisited. PhD programs are expanding. There is a lot of good stuff
happening. 3) Educate 4) Engage 5) Fund. We have been fortunate with funding based on SCH. Fundraising is
very important, deans are fundraising too. Fundraising and enrollment are the keys to success. The Chancellor
wants to get professorships and endowed chairs.
