College Council Unapproved Minutes
Key discussions included the announcement of the Applied Technology Building for Mechatronics, with an anticipated 2030 completion, and plans for expanding alumni engagement ahead of a comprehensive campaign launch. The college is progressing with the Academic Momentum initiative focused on student retention, informed by NISS data, with a taskforce established for Fall 2026 implementation. Academic Program Optimization efforts resulted in decisions to deactivate the Park & Outdoor Recreation and Adventure Recreation programs due to sustained low enrollment, while Teacher Education Transfer and Accounting programs were consolidated for clarity. Plans are underway to offer several completion degrees as direct-entry online programs starting in Fall 2026 to expand access. Accessibility compliance is being addressed, aiming for 100% compliance with Title II by April 2026. The athletic department reported successes, including conference championships and NCAA qualifications. Sodexo continues to collaborate on student support initiatives like food pantry donations and a new coupon dining program. Financial trajectory remains stable, projecting a surplus by year-end, despite challenges with student balances over $1,000, which are being actively addressed. The Council endorsed the naming of the HVAC lab as the "Midea HVAC Technology Classroom" in recognition of a significant in-kind gift from Midea America Corp.
