‡ Completion of credential increased, likely due to career
coach intervention (still working on the data)
‡ Request was for 2 Career Coaches on hard money; based
on data this was increased to 3
‡ Curriculum institutionalized through implementation into
programs
‡ Virtual Lab plus all small and large equipment will be
supported by IT
± Maintenance costs
± Personnel to support (required training and transition)
NISGTC Sustainability
± Focus groups to back up Institutional Research
data with qualitative data
± Students who were given the opportunity to sign
up for grant services
‡ Students who only used Transcender test prep
software and virtual labs
‡ Student who took full advantage of all services
Other Examples
‡ Moraine Valley petition to graduate fee: started
with grant POS, moved college-wide
± Dramatically increased certificate and degree #’s
‡ Bellevue College virtual labs
Other Examples, cont.
‡ Salt Lake CC: free online textbooks
‡ Bellevue College tutoring program: Academic
Success Center has as many as 200 PT tutors on

Lessons Learned

‡
‡
Start early
Everyone is different
Templates are very helpful
Use your data
Recreate/continue what made you successful
Watch budget calendars
If you’re planning to sustain…
‡ How often do you talk with other staff/partners about
sustainability?
‡ Do you talk with others in the community about this topic –
i.e. other PIs, Directors, business partners, mentors,
administrators?
‡ Are you considering which components of your work have
impact and could/should be sustained over time and why?
‡ Have you considered the fiscal or in-kind support needed to
sustain these high-impact components?
