Marketing Considerations
5. Goal: Create a comprehensive marketing strategy that establishes a progressive
and responsive image of the University as provider and valued partner for
education outreach.
Action Steps:
Rework the Distance Education and Continuing Education Website.
Develop information materials that are focused on the learning needs of constituent
learner populations. e.g. Develop a brochure of offerings targeted to onsite opportunities
at Blue Ridge Community College.
Develop information materials with a thematic approach. e.g. Profile an array of
opportunities for career change, career enhancement and career development at the
graduate level.
Expand the nature scope and number of information sessions for prospective students
both on and off site.
Utilize conferences and seminars as vehicle to promote programs.
Track, monitor and evaluate marketing efforts.
Budget Request:
The redefinition of the Division for Continuing Education and Summer School to the
Division of Distance and Continuing Education requires representation of the Division as
a new and progressive University unit. This calls for investment in vibrant new
promotional materials as outlined above as well as replacement of existing resources.
Table covers, folders, and display units are now outdated and need to be replaced. A new
look needs to be created and promotional materials need to be developed that reflects an
integrated approach to the management and delivery of educational opportunities rather
than the current individual offering approach.

6. Goal: Celebrate the successes of programs, faculty and students.
Develop a Chapter of Alpha Sigma Lambda (ASL) National Honor Society.
ASL is the premier honor society for adult learners returning to college for an
undergraduate degree. Induction into the Society recognizes academic excellence and
achievement. Celebration of student success is an essential strategy in building our
image as quality educational institution.
Conduct an annual retreat for distance learning faculty, department chairs and deans to
share, evaluate, celebrate and plan.
Engagement of faculty, department chairs and deans provides an opportunity to enrich
the experiences of individual practitioners and bring a greater sense of unity of purpose to
the participants. It furthers the role of “best practices” as a focus for quality
improvement.
Budget Request:
The requirements for establishment of a Chapter includes an initial application fee, an
annual membership fee, supplies for inductees and program administration, registration
and travel for the director to attend the annual Association of Continuing Higher
Education (ACHE) meeting. (ASL serves as host and conducts its annual business
activities at the conference).
The costs associated with the annual retreat include coffee and luncheon services and
materials. The location will be on campus.

8. Goal: Enhance the recruitment of students, the services for students, the
promotion of education outreach and exploration of program development
opportunities through the deployment of key staff members and the hiring of
essential staff support personnel.

Appoint Marcia Casario full time to the Division as Regional Director for
Education Outreach.
Identify and appoint a second Regional Director for Education Outreach.
Identify and appoint a Director of Military Programs.
Identify and appoint a military education advisor.
Hire a temporary assistant and two graduate assistants for Distance Learning
Support Services.
¾ Recruitment of students, promotion of the education outreach mission of
the Division and exploration of program development opportunities is a
growing need. Presently Marcia Caserio is functioning full time as
Regional Director for Educational Outreach on a temporary basis. She has
been very successful in fulfilling this important role. We want to continue
her in this role on a permanent basis and add another individual to serve in
a comparable role for other key counties in our service area.
¾ Active duty military personnel represent an important, but underserved,
enrollment stream for the University. The Troops to Teachers initiative
offers military personnel who are leaving active duty a pathway to the
teaching profession. The Lateral Entry Program offers an opportunity to
attract and support a vital pool of potential teachers for the region and the
state.
Active duty personnel faced with long-term deployment are now able to
engage in educational programs offered online. A number of programs
offer a fully online option. It is the desire of the Division to actively
respond to the learning needs of these individuals with programs in
criminal justice, emergency disaster management and project
management/ building and construction.
The development of military enrollment requires building relationships
with Service Members Opportunity Colleges, DANTES and the various
military branches. Programmatic relationships are governed by
Memoranda of Understanding and contracts. The development of these
relationships requires focused activity of a military program director.

¾ The military student typically has a complex profile of credit from a wide
range of sources. These include examinations for credit, credit for military
training and transfer credits from generally more than one institution. Support
service for these students requires an individual dedicated to credit evaluation
and advisement.
¾ Growth in Distance Education enrollment requires additional student services
support. Addition of a temporary assistant and the phased addition of
graduate assistants is seen as a low cost means of adding vital support as the
Division transitions over the next year.
Budget Request:
The staff requests identified above are outlined below as individual budget requests. The
request for Marcia Caserio is shown on a full year basis recognizing that we are seeking
to add a half salary to create 1.0 FTE. The temporary staff requirement for student
services and hourly wages for graduate assistants are represented in the hours wage
request of $30,000. Each of the other positions is identified separately.

New Initiatives:
9. Goal: Create opportunities for innovation and development that will enhance
the educational outreach mission of the University.
Innovation is the cornerstone of quality! Sustained enrollment growth requires a culture
of continuous quality improvement. Application of technology as a tool to extend
enrollment requires ongoing review, assessment and exploration of emerging
technologies. We cannot expect that technologies of today will satisfy ongoing needs. It
is, therefore, proposed that we:
• Establish a teaching learning laboratory (Center for Educational Innovation) to
replace the current Mac laboratory. The laboratory will double as a classroom
with Internet capabilities for Web-casting, exploration in the use of new and
emerging teaching and learning tools and serve as a venue for pilot offerings,
faculty development and research.
• Convert the PC in a similar configuration once the first is fully operational.
This goal is listed as a budget request item, however, external funds will be
sought to support the development of the laboratory.
Conversion of the two laboratories is part of an overall strategy to enhance the
capabilities of the University to provide course and program delivery to place-bound
adults. The intent is to maintain a steady stream of programming from the center that
will address both credit and non-credit learning needs. Expansion of professional
development opportunities will be greatly enhance with a Web-casting center.
Innovation is intrinsically linked to research and development. To foster innovation and
related research and development, funding is requested to:
• Establish and fund an educational investment strategy that will provide seed
money for new program initiatives, provide faculty support for the improvement
of and research in distance learning and support quality improvement strategies.
Budget Request:
The Division would like to pilot the “Distance Learning Innovations and Research
Initiative” with $10,000. The Initiative would require faculty to submit proposals
outlining their request. Selection would be made through a committee review process.
The results of the selected initiative will require a final report and encouragement to
publish the outcomes.

New Program Initiatives:
An essential aspect of the educational outreach mission of the University is relationship
building. Education, training, and support services are the key products of the
University. The interface between these products and needs is planning and
implementation. Bridging between the University and community offers many
opportunities for problem solving, planning and innovation that can forge new alliances
that further the mission of the University.
10. Goal: Enhance the Educational Outreach Mission of the University through
Partnership Development.
An initiative for positive aging is emerging as a potentially powerful concept for action.
The success of the gerontology programs, the workshops and seminars open to seniors,
and our conference on aging all contribute to a foundation for action. Our recent
recognition by the Sage Foundation with the receipt of the “Best Practices” award offers
us a timely point to engage in a growth initiative related to aging. Pardee Hospital has
offered us the use of a building on the hospital campus. From this base, we will be able
to advance a number of key goals consistent with our educational outreach mission.
Among these are the following:
• Establish visibility within Henderson County and surrounding
communities of the University as a responsive resource for action related
to aging.
• Define the role of the University as a resource for research and best
practices information on healthy and integrative aging in Western North
Carolina.
• Develop a model for positive aging that can translate into a national
concept for action.
• Develop educational programs that reflect the integrated, interdisciplinary
nature of aging.
• Grow enrollments in aging related programs.
• Develop a research and assessment plan that will further related initiatives.
• Serve as a hub for regional problem-solving and planning as it relates to
aging.
Planning and implementation of an “Initiative for Positive Aging” in conjunction with
Pardee Hospital is being supported by the Hospital, the Division for Distance and
Continuing Education and the College of Applied Sciences (CAS).
Budget Requests:
The primary requests for funding by the Division related to the hiring of a full time
clerical support person funded by the College of Applied Sciences and the Division of
Distance and Continuing Education on a 50-50 basis.
