While the report identifies six vital elements of the college experience, there may be subtle components within each that make a significant difference. For instance mentoring has some beneficial results with student attitudes but minimal, if any, on student achievement; feedback is one of the most important factors with student achievement (Richard DiMillo, 2015 Revolution in Higher Education – citing John Hattie). Student engagement and learning involve numerous aspects that will require retesting assumptions and a passion for “solving puzzles.” The research puzzle also involves the intentional alignment of practices and supporting elements. “On many campuses, assessment of student involvement in active learning practices such as these [high-impact practices] has made it possible to assess the practices’ contribution to students’ cumulative learning. Educational research suggests that the high-impact practices mentioned here increase rates of student retention and student engagement. However, on almost all campuses, utilization of active learning practices is unsystematic, to the detriment of student learning” (https://www.aacu.org/resources/high-impact-practices).

VPAA UPDATE 31 August 2018

Dear Faculty and Staff: With approximately 200 attendees the 30 August 2018 All-Campus Work Session illustrated some of the best of CSC. As expressed in the Great Jobs Great Lives: The 2014 Gallup-Purdue Index Report a paltry 30% of USA college graduates indicated engagement in their job (https://www.google.com/search?source=hp&ei=3dqGW5_oEu6wtgXn1augCw&q=great+jobs+great+live+2014+gallup-purdue+index+report&oq=great+jobs+great+live+2014&gs_l=psy-ab.1.0.33i22i29i30k1.1883.13008.0.15664.50.38.12.0.0.0.117.3226.36j2.38.0....0...1.1.64.psy-ab..0.50.3264...0j0i131k1j0i10k1j0i22i30k1j0i22i10i30k1j33i160k1j33i21k1.0.DV3AE-RIHK4).

The 2014-18 Master Academic Plan (MAP) took many positive steps with high-impact practices and supporting elements. An important goal for the 2019-2023 MAP will be to orchestrate a learner-centered environment to the next level. As an organization such learning may be uncomfortable. I have seen time and again the willingness of many CSC faculty and staff to jump into the arena of uncomfortableness to help CSC become a better place. As Kuh mentions in the video organizational learning provides students a role model. Thank you for contributing to a workplace that continues to challenge our assumptions and strives for continuous improvement toward a learner-centered environment within a community of learners.

CSC Leadership Collaboration Last week Student Leadership, Faculty Senate Leadership, Strategic Enrollment Management Leadership, Cabinet members and I met in a couple of meetings to discuss issues and collaborate. Student 2018-19 initiatives include recruitment of student leadership, go green, and engagement of students in a variety of activities. These collaboration sessions have transpired for several years. CSC Committees The attachments include the Presidential, Faculty Senate and CSC Campus-Wide Committees for 2018-19. Questions regarding the committees should be directed to the committee chairs. With respect to the Presidential and CSC Campus-Wide Committees, Executive Council feedback on committee membership and purpose is appreciated. Student Leadership (Dawson Brunswick, Student Trustee; Lukas Klueber, Student Senate President; Konery Klueber, Student Senate Vice President) has identified a set of students to serve. Student Leadership is still working on student representation with some of the committees. Committee chairs may need to contact Student Leadership to confirm the remaining student membership. Strategic Enrollment Management Committee Update The Strategic Enrollment Management Committee would like to thank everyone for their participation in the 30 August 2018 All-Campus work session. The lively discussions regarding potential projects and initial work on creating project plans is critical to the success of the overall strategic enrollment plan. 21 September 2018 is the first round due date for submission of plans to the designated leader of the recruitment, on-boarding, retention, and completion groups. A project worksheet document (see SEMP Project Plan Template document) is attached to the VPAA Update as well as the documents provided at the All-Campus session. Please use the Project Plan Template as your units/programs/departments continue to develop new ideas. New Early Alert Reporting Process in MyCSC The Office of Academic Success (http://www.csc.edu/oas/index.csc) facilitates the Early Alert process. We invite all CSC faculty and staff to submit an Early Alert. Some typical signs that a student is struggling academically include poor attendance, missing assignments, low grades, no involvement in extra-curricular activities, etc. Early Alert submission provides the Office of Academic Success the just-in-time outreach that may benefit the student. It conveys to the student that we care about their well-being. Access to the Early Alert form has been relocated to the MyCSC home page under “Links” and the process itself has been updated to provide more timely intervention and to improve communication among the parties involved. Although this process may be employed at any point during a semester, intervention at the earliest sign of student academic struggle is much more likely to encourage students to follow a track toward successful course completion. A brief instruction sheet is attached to the VPAA Update. Please note: The process for reporting no-shows to the financial aid office has not changed. No-shows will continue to be reported using the corrections roster.

First-Year Seminars and ExperiencesMany schools now build into the curriculum first-year seminars or other programs that bring small groups of students together with faculty or staff on a regular basis. The highest-quality first-year experiences place a strong emphasis on critical inquiry, frequent writing, information literacy, collaborative learning, and other skills that develop students’ intellectual and practical competencies. First-year seminars can also involve students with cutting-edge questions in scholarship and with faculty members’ own research.

Common Intellectual ExperiencesThe older idea of a “core” curriculum has evolved into a variety of modern forms, such as a set of required common courses or a vertically organized general education program that includes advanced integrative studies and/or required participation in a learning community (see below). These programs often combine broad themes—e.g., technology and society, global interdependence—with a variety of curricular and cocurricular options for students.

Learning Communities The key goals for learning communities are to encourage integration of learning across courses and to involve students with “big questions” that matter beyond the classroom. Students take two or more linked courses as a group and work closely with one another and with their professors. Many learning communities explore a common topic and/or common readings through the lenses of different disciplines. Some deliberately link “liberal arts” and “professional courses”; others feature service learning.

Writing-Intensive Courses These courses emphasize writing at all levels of instruction and across the curriculum, including final-year projects. Students are encouraged to produce and revise various forms of writing for different audiences in different disciplines. The effectiveness of this repeated practice “across the curriculum” has led to parallel efforts in such areas as quantitative reasoning, oral communication, information literacy, and, on some campuses, ethical inquiry.

Collaborative Assignments and Projects Collaborative learning combines two key goals: learning to work and solve problems in the company of others, and sharpening one’s own understanding by listening seriously to the insights of others, especially those with different backgrounds and life experiences. Approaches range from study groups within a course, to team-based assignments and writing, to cooperative projects and research.

Undergraduate ResearchMany colleges and universities are now providing research experiences for students in all disciplines. Undergraduate research, however, has been most prominently used in science disciplines. With strong support from the National Science Foundation and the research community, scientists are reshaping their courses to connect key concepts and questions with students’ early and active involvement in systematic investigation and research. The goal is to involve students with actively contested questions, empirical observation, cutting-edge technologies, and the sense of excitement that comes from working to answer important questions.

Diversity/Global LearningMany colleges and universities now emphasize courses and programs that help students explore cultures, life experiences, and worldviews different from their own. These studies—which may address U.S. diversity, world cultures, or both—often explore “difficult differences” such as racial, ethnic, and gender inequality, or continuing struggles around the globe for human rights, freedom, and power. Frequently, intercultural studies are augmented by experiential learning in the community and/or by study abroad.

ePortfoliosePortfolios are the latest addition to AAC&U’s list of high-impact educational practices, and higher education has developed a range of ways to implement them for teaching and learning, programmatic assessment, and career development. ePortfolios enable students to electronically collect their work over time, reflect upon their personal and academic growth, and then share selected items with others, such as professors, advisors, and potential employers. Because collection over time is a key element of the ePortfolio process, employing ePortfolios in collaboration with other high-impact practices provides opportunities for students to make connections between various educational experiences.

Service Learning, Community-Based Learning In these programs, field-based “experiential learning” with community partners is an instructional strategy—and often a required part of the course. The idea is to give students direct experience with issues they are studying in the curriculum and with ongoing efforts to analyze and solve problems in the community. A key element in these programs is the opportunity students have to both apply what they are learning in real-world settings and reflect in a classroom setting on their service experiences. These programs model the idea that giving something back to the community is an important college outcome, and that working with community partners is good preparation for citizenship, work, and life.

InternshipsInternships are another increasingly common form of experiential learning. The idea is to provide students with direct experience in a work setting—usually related to their career interests—and to give them the benefit of supervision and coaching from professionals in the field. If the internship is taken for course credit, students complete a project or paper that is approved by a faculty member.

Capstone Courses and ProjectsWhether they’re called “senior capstones” or some other name, these culminating experiences require students nearing the end of their college years to create a project of some sort that integrates and applies what they’ve learned. The project might be a research paper, a performance, a portfolio of “best work,” or an exhibit of artwork. Capstones are offered both in departmental programs and, increasingly, in general education as well.

About the Strategic Enrollment Management PlanIntroduction Chadron State College’s Mission is to enrich the quality of life in the region by providing educational opportunities, research, service and programs that contribute significantly to the vitality and diversity of the region. This 5-year Strategic Enrollment Management Plan (SEMP) is structured to guide and support CSC administrators, faculty, and staff in carrying out this mission. The Strategic Enrollment Management Team (SEMT) was formed as a first step in response to President Rhine’s enrollment goal of 3,100 students. The SEMT membership represents a comprehensive, collaborative, and coordinated effort to align all CSC enrollment initiatives toward long-term student success. The SEMT extensively reviewed CSC data, gathered campus feedback from faculty, staff and students and studied best practices in areas identified as needing improvement. We believe following the SEMP will empower the campus community to reach a goal of 3,100 enrolled students by 2023.

History CSC has been experiencing an enrollment decline over the last few years (see fall semester enrollment history below). Enrollment in this case refers to both the recruitment and retention of students. The SEMT believes enrollment growth can be strategically influenced by internal actions embedded in the SEMP.

The SEMT identified and focused its efforts around four core components: Recruitment, Onboarding, Retention (Persistence) and Completion. These priorities support the student success enrollment life cycle and inspire all students toward high levels of engagement throughout their educational experiences. It’s all focused on building appropriate, meaningful relationships with students and preparing them for their futures.

GoverningPrinciples

For each of the four components, reviewing trends and assessing the data will be developed over the next academic year. The objective is to make data driven decisions. In addition, SEMT will continue to explore and develop strategies for other populations, such as graduate, online and transfer students.

The SEMP does not specify on-campus students vs. online students at this point until we can review the data to be more specific for different populations. Resource allocation requests are made by submitting a project plan through your appropriate leadership to SEMT co-chairs who will then forward to Cabinet for approval.
