Sampling of our students’ team
efforts
Lockheed Martin Leadership Institute
Student Engagement
The Idea Kitchen—a space designed
to foster student creativity and
collaboration - created between
Benton and Garland Halls.
Students established strong social media presence,
organized series of events throughout Engineers
week, revamped web pages, created a number of
videos, and staffed booth at career fairs.
Lockheed Martin Leadership Institute
• Cohort #3 recruited
• Cohort Certificate Program – intensely personal
three-year leadership development program (2 credit
hour class per semester) fully developed and
approved
• A dozen or so seasoned leaders shared their wisdom
with students as speakers and mentors

Enrollment – Dean’s message for MU
Administration and Board of Trustees
Enrollment of an equally academically strong, diverse (in the
broad sense), and sizeable CEC cohorts in the years to come will
require continuing efforts of
• Admission Office
• CEC administration, faculty, and staff
and
• allocation of scholarship $$ at least at the 2012/13 level

Why are we still transitioning to RCM?
• Uncertainties regarding state subsidies
• How revenues and expenses related to graduate programs
going to be treated remains undecided
• Lack of confidence in reliability of data
• Non-trivial mistakes still commonplace
Hence:
• Subvention will be traced for two more fiscal cycles before
RCM is fully implemented
Budgetary projection
FY ‘14 – FY ‘17
• Assumption: First-year class at this year’s level
• Net new tuition revenues: ~$800K
• Outstanding CEC budgetary cuts: ~ $ 500K
• Surplus of ~ $ 300k in FY’17
