Campus Updates 12/8/23

Hello all and hope you are doing well.  It’s been a super rainy week with some kind of “crud” going around.  Try your best to stay healthy and dry! 

It has also been an action-packed week on my end, but there are several good things happening.  I attended the monthly WACTC President’s meeting which was online this time.  It was convenient of course, but I missed seeing my colleagues in person.  There is some good planning in the works which I will share once more things come to fruition. 

A highlight of this week was a meeting with members of the Seattle Korean School, Samira Pardanani and Sookyung Park, Romina Plozza, and AnnaMaria Winters (ESL/Faculty Senate), Mayumi Steinmetz (World Languages), and Rachel Lee (Anthropology).  It was a great brainstorming meeting for future partnerships and there was a lot of energy in the room.  We have taken another step forward with this partnership, and I will keep you posted as we get closer to tangible projects that will serve our community 

We had a great Board Meeting this week- thank you so much to folks who attended and participated.  I also attended a great meeting with the Deans and learned about some of the really interesting initiatives they are collaborating with faculty to create. It was really impressive! Kudos to the Dean team and Faculty for being creative in thinking of ways to serve students!  

Finally, I want to offer a brief thank you to all who engaged in giving initial feedback on the strategic plan and components.  The conversations have been lively and are really helpful.   

Have a great weekend! 

Cheers, 

Jack

• Due March 1, 2024. 
• Area Reviews ensure operational planning is in alignment with institutional strategic planning.  
• Area Reviews also directly inform resource allocation in that they are a data-informed means to request an increase or decrease in resources (human, technology, facilities, and funding) to help improve area effectiveness. 
• This self-reflective, continuous improvement process is a key assessment effort that addresses the College’s accreditation warning and helps prepare for the upcoming April 18-19, 2024 Mid-Cycle Accreditation visit.
