All college employees and students will need to take the training eventually. Reminder that updates are due the end of the month if possible, especially if there are budget requests. The final deadline is the end of the semester. Estimated 5% reduction in general fund. Are there any categorical budgets that can pick up some general fund expenses? Michelle and others visited Foothill, West Valley, and Mission colleges and have brainstormed ideas for a Welcome Center/mini one-stop in SAC East. The Welcome Center will be a triage as well as a concierge service for Student Services departments. More complicated issues would be referred to the appropriate departments. The operator console will be phased out and phone service will be decentralized. There will be a bank of computers for self-support and FAQs listed for each department. Michelle asked for feedback of the draft Welcome Center proposal, which will be brought back to the next meeting. During spring break HR is moving to the lower campus, closer to payroll. Student Government will then move to the HR offices in the 900 building to provide space for the Welcome Center. Colton spoke against the move stating past student senates secured $600,000 to furnish the Student Activities Center. Chegg is a website where student research colleges in California; Cabrillo receives a list of students interested in Cabrillo and we can reach out to those students.
