Outreach and School Relations
OASR November Updates:
· The 7th High School Principals’ Breakfast was well-attended last month. 25 high school principals and local school district superintendents attended the annual event hosted by President Fallo. Guests heard about improvements coming to our athletic facilities and participated in a discussion on priority registration and upcoming changes with the Student Success Initiative – SB 1456.
· SLOs - changes have been implemented in CurricUNET which addressed some SLO input issues Student Service programs were having. Some Student Service staff mentioned they are receiving emails asking for approval for class SLO statements – Student Service staff should not be getting these approval requests. All the CurricUNET changes have not been tested. These continued setbacks should not keep programs from continuing to implement and assess their SLOs.
· Below are Outreach metrics for Fall 2012 that have been submitted to the VP of Student and Community Advancement:
