library related projects. In cooperation with other northwest libraries, OSU library is the lead institution for a $129, 4000 NEH grant.

11.6.

Presenters will come from institutions of higher education and global employers in Oregon.

11.17. OSU Press initiated a collaborative agreement with the University of Oregon Press to market and distribute five of their books, including the award-winning Atlas of Oregon.

12. Initiatives to improve administrative efficiencies12.1. OSU Libraries created an Institutional Repository (ScholarsArchive@OSU) which

provides a place for faculty and students to archive online research. With the

Graduate School, we developed a procedure that allows students to easily submit pdf files of their theses and dissertations online. As of April 2006, 40% of all theses and dissertations were submitted with one hard copy and one electronic copy. Beginning July 1, 2006 all doctoral dissertations are being submitted electronically. Beginning January 1, 2007 all Masters theses will be submitted electronically. This is a great service to OSU students simplifying what was formerly a very laborious process.

12.2. OSU Libraries reorganized second floor functions and personnel to create an Undergraduates Services Library. The reorganization will allow for cross-training of personnel and allow services to expand even though budgets are status quo.

12.3. Began incorporating efficiency study in Army ROTC as part of the Department of Defense “Lean Six Sigma” initiative.

12.4. IEO implemented First Steps group advising sessions for students making initial inquiries about education abroad.  Developed First Steps handbook to distribute to students. Reduces one-on-one advising time.

12.5. APAA increased efficiency of Category II system to expedite reviews and hone the focus on curricular matters.

12.6. OUS study abroad developed a web-based course database to expedite transmission of course information from overseas sites to OUS, and in turn to campuses.

12.7. As a common value of the IR staff, collaboration and creativity in how work is accomplished was promoted and encouraged as well as promoting the professional development of each staff member. This investment has already reaped some benefits in terms of new methodologies and renewed energy.

12.8. IR reduced the expenditures to an outside editing company to produce many IR reports and documents. In the coming year, we will not have to use this company at all since we have been able to automate the production of the reports in house.

12.9. With the streamlining of how enrollment and student information is handled and reported in the IR office, the posting of data on IIRIS has become a single process rather than a duplicative process. This has saved time and made information more available to the public.

12.10. IR and Human Resources are collaborating in an effort to get CIP codes assigned to individual faculty members in HRIS. This has been a consistent problem as request for faculty by discipline information has increased.

12.11. ASC hiring nearly 100% of student workers as work study to save $$.12.12. ASC key collaboration with CWL enables both units to maximize the productivity of

Wayne Robertson (shared .5 appointments) by deliberately focusing his efforts on shared programs whenever possible.

13. Provide a brief assessment of your 2005-2006 priorities, including a self-assessment of what worked and what did not, and lessons learned.

We increased student success efforts in AA&IP, and while individual programs, such as supplemental instruction, showed excellent results, the overall retention rate for the University remains unchanged. We will continue to work with Student Affairs and academic units to align student success efforts. We will also increase our analysis and assessment of programs so that we can focus resources on programs that work.

We have worked closely with the Head Advisors in academic units, and they have made great strides in developing a common mission, vision, and goals for advising across the university. The close collaboration has improved communication, and allowed central administration to be aware of, and address, problems and issues facing advisors.

We have made significant increases in study abroad opportunities, yet numbers of students studying abroad decreased last year in both OUS and OSU. We have started to work with academic units on curriculum integration to reduce barriers to participation. We also have included study abroad scholarships in the capital campaign, since cost is a major factor that deters students from participating. Finally, we have stepped up marketing efforts and reorganized our advising procedures to better serve students.

International student numbers have started to rebound, and the number of international scholars keeps increasing. Our more coordinated approach across units has helped us to align efforts in student recruiting. The recruiting trip to Asia last fall appears to be having an impact. Our service to international scholars is at capacity, and we are hoping to be able to institute fees for some services so that we can increase capacity.

Our international outreach efforts have increased on a number of fronts. The international alumni newsletter has been very well received, and we continue to make progress on developing an international alumni database. The Director of IEO, the Vice Provost, and the President have all made international trips to explore, develop, and strengthen partnerships. The China Initiative and the upcoming Presidential delegation to China is a continuation of that strategy.

The ELI has seen significant growth, primarily from Saudi Arabian students. Our challenge is to find adequate faculty and classroom space for the ELI, and to transition as many of these students as possible into OSU.

Our faculty support services have increased with the first full year of operation for the Center for Teaching and Learning. The CTL, DPD and WIC have continued to assist faculty through seminars, workshops, and one-on-one consultations. We have been unsuccessful in getting DPD courses into the Forestry or Engineering curricula, and this will be a focus for the new DPD Director.

The Vice Provost, IR, and APAA continue to serve faculty and academic programs. With budget cuts across the campus, our challenge is to make processes as efficient as possible, reduce barriers and administrative hurdles, while managing risk to the institution. Regular communication with academic units is critical in this regard, and we will continue to meet with Department Heads and the relevant faculty senate committees on a regular basis.
