Goal 3: To address relocation needs and invite group into the CAC for events.
Action Item
Linkage to other Plans
Year-end status and accomplishments
3a Set up the CAC to be welcoming user friendly.
Invite campus community to celebrate the relocation of the CAC.
CAC was relocated to the Student Center, East Hall. In this new location the visibility of the Center has increased 100%, it is more accessible to the campus community. Students find it a comfortable place to visit. The displays in the CAC change to reflect the diversity on campus. Publications are available for students to browse that reflect the diversity of students on campus.
The dedication for the CAC has been approved and will take place Fall 2002.
4a
Goal 4: To support under-represented students success.
Support students through mentoring, coaching and programming.
Student workers are coached in event planning and learn to work with diverse groups of people. Individual students stop by throughout the week for support and encouragement as they struggle to remain in college, often working full-time jobs.
Other Accomplishments:
The Cultural Awareness Center staff and the Student Leadership and Development staff developed a system of scheduling use of the CAC by other units on campus. In the past, the CAC clerk managed this responsibility throughout the year; however, this year it was given to Student Leadership and Development which was a major change that came with the relocation. Time was allocated for CAC events between 10 and 2. Minor problems occurred but staff should be applauded for their commitment to making this a win/win solution to scheduling areas of the student center.

Based on samples:
1.
Students of color attend events at a greater number and on a more regular basis than white students.
2.
White students are more likely to participate when required by the instructor.
3.
The high number of survey respondents of Asian/Pacific Islander decent may be the result of the participation of ethnic identification during this period.
