The notes from the ITS:Division meeting on November 10 are:
- Vice President for Student Life/Dean of Students Mike Edmonds visited the meeting and shared that the Student Life Division oversees every aspect of the student experience outside of the classroom except athletics. CC’s Student Life Office has a wider portfolio than similar offices at most other colleges. The office helps students make sense of the student experience while developing them to be better prepared when they graduate.
- Associate Vice President for the Office of Institutional Planning and Effectiveness Lyrae Williams distributed copies of the updated strategic plan and discussed the college’s strategic planning process since President Tiefenthaler arrived. The plan continues to evolve and develop, with the next campus-wide activity regarding the strategic plan occurring during spring conference. Next summer, an addendum and modifications to the document that was shared in this meeting will be distributed. Additional committees are now working on a strategic plan for the Fine Arts Center.
- Matt Gottfried introduced the new GIS Technical Director Matt Cooney.
- The ITS: specific severe weather policy was shared with the group and briefly discussed. Brian asked that everyone review the policy and remember that because this is a residential campus, CC is never fully closed due to the weather. If anyone has questions or concerns about the specific policy, feel free to discuss them with you supervisor or bring them to the next division meeting.
- Brian spoke about the East Campus housing development. To highlight CC’s history, each unit in the development will be named after a notable alumnus who was a “first” in their field or avocation. In addition, the 818 N. Tejon house will be renamed the Collins House after beloved CC employee Theodore Roosevelt Collins who was CC’s first person of color in a non-custodial position.
- Kudos were shared.
- Jeff Montoya’s employee interview will be shared at the next division meeting.
