FTE Prioritization
Galen noted that state funding
is changing regarding workforce pathways.
The college should be able to absorb the FTE’s previously funded by
pathways funds in the budget. Once the
state budget is approved, we will have a better feel for what is doable. Other budget considerations include the 2%
increase for state employees, and the move of an FTE from Perkins funding into
the budget. This prioritization will
allow us to know what we can do if the college is allowed the FTE slots. Galen distributed and reviewed the criteria
and the following FTE requests were presented
·

Accessibility Services/ Student Accessibility Coordinator – Mark Dougherty

Academic Calendar
Scott Harvey presented the
Spring 2020 and Summer 2020 calendars.
He reminded the group about the issues with the seventh year of the
cycle, and noted the use of the calendar considerations. With these in mind, in order to allow days
for faculty leave, the Spring 2020 first class day will be January 6. Scott noted that the calendar committee ran
multiple scenarios to try to move the start date out a little, but those
scenarios did not allow for any faculty leave days. The group asked Scott to share more detail
about the other options. They also asked
Scott to provide some talking points about why this happens. Scott will prepare other calendar scenarios
and will send talking points to the members of the group via e-mail.
SEM Team Project Report
Jenni Creamer distributed and
discussed the Strategic Enrollment
Management Executive Summery. The
SEM Team (Mandy Elmore, Scott Harvey, Adam Ghiloni, Tiffany Blackwell, Linda
Jameison, Rachel Campbell and Margaret Burdett) has been working on this
project for several years, and it is now complete. After a year to define SEM, the team used
surveys and meetings with the academic divisions to gather data.
What the team learned through
listening tours:
·
Limited
understanding of SEM and why it is important to the college and programs and
individuals.
·
Lack of role
clarification. Who’s doing what?
·
Student support
is not differentiated throughout the student life cycle.
·
Balancing student
communications – when does the student need to know future implications
·
Little direction
from the college
Jenni noted the SEM framework
image and discussed the different sections of it.

Announcements:
Mandy Elmore:
15 colleges competed in the
Welding competition at Horry Georgetown.

finishes and one third place finish. Mandy
noted how proud she is of our students and program and what an amazing
experience it was.
Linda Jameison:
The Career Services
department has hired a new staff member who will focus on work-based learning.
Jenni Creamer:
New ID cards will not be

and will have more functionality. Gabe
Hollingsworth and Tiffany Blackwell will co-manage this effort.
With no further business, the
meeting was adjourned.
