I.
Welcome
Nancy Morgan welcomed everyone and reviewed the agenda. She presented the minutes from
the last meeting, and hearing no corrections, the minutes were approved by all.
II.
Updates on Previous Proposals
a. New Academic Programs – Buck James
The BSN began this semester and enrolled 96 students. The BSIT enrolled 38 students.
Interactive Media enrolled 25 students, and Barbering is doing well with more than 30
students. The Barbering program is facing challenges transporting students from Daytona
Beach to the New Smyrna Beach campus.
b. QEP-SLS 1101 (2012-13) – Tom Bellomo
Costs associated with the SLS 1101 class have been higher than the initial budget, but were
approved in order to implement the QEP. A twenty-two student limit was set per class.
Currently there are 58 students enrolled in 3 classes. Instructors hail from various
disciplines.
c. Falcon Passport Program – John Brady
Marketing helped develop the passport book utilized in the program. Students are required
to attend four approved activities to get their passport stamped toward receiving a
certificate at the end of the program. The program began Fall B 2013 and there are
currently 23 participants. The target is to reach 100 participants with the help of
promotional materials, the RAVE system, and suggestions by chairs and deans.
d. Professional Development – John Brady
Professional Development is funneled through the Professional Development and Global
Education office (formerly Global Education and Affairs). A Professional Development
Committee has been created to identify opportunities, goals and outcomes, review best
practices, and develop a mission statement. Professional Development opportunities have
been awarded, the Lunch and Learn series is in full swing, and a newsletter is forthcoming.

Since September 2013, $58,000 has been allocated to Professional Development. A website
is in the making as well.
e. Academic Integrity – Sarah Desormeaux
An honor code has been developed to improve academic integrity. Collaboration with
Judicial Affairs has proven helpful, but more awareness is needed toward the effect on
financial aid. More consistency is needed in reporting so training is being developed for
faculty, staff and students. It has been difficult to determine how to enforce adherence to
academic integrity.
III.
Strategic Planning Assessment Process
Dustin Weeks reviewed the assessment results of Priority 1 and outlined the process for
assessing Priority 2: Emphasize Student Success, and Priority 4: Embrace Diversity of the
strategic plan.

and 4, answer two questions to analyze impact, and come to consensus on the most notable
accomplishments. See attached summary of the discussion.
