e committee completed its comprehensive review as initially charged and provided
its findings and recommendations. As part of their final report, they collected data,
designed a summary matrix of services that address the totality of the student life
experience, developed two working groups around the area of mental health services
and examined the efficacy of current support programs offered through eoP, Trio
and College Success. Members of my administration are now analyzing the Committee’s
final report to determine an implementation plan for its strategic recommendations.
A review of the College Association budget and its support for student activities
resulted in a decision to place priority on increased support for student clubs and
intramural sports. Despite overall reductions in expenditures that have been
implemented across the College, funding was increased for the following Association
areas for 2012-2013:
Student Clubs - increased by $22,255 = 8.4%
Child Care Centers - increased by $15,695 = 7.7%
intramural Sports - increased by $9,127 = 14.6%
