Career and Technical Education Week Anna Kincaid and Pauline Fisher gave a report on the events planned in conjunction with National Career and Technical Education week on February 13 19, 2005. On February 16 Michael Simmons, Entrepreneur and author of the best selling book, The Student Success Manifesto, will be giving a speech and workshop called the Extreme Entrepreneur. There are 70 high school students and 40 faculty and staff signed up. Michael Simmons started his first business at age 16 and became a leading role model for youth, student, and adult workers alike. The workshop will be videotaped for people who cannot attend the workshop to view at a later date. Danny Gonzales stated that they are working on finalizing the details for a credit class to begin on March 23 through the Small Business Development Center. Grant Update Jeannie Rosenthal provided a grant update. She has been approached by some organizations and businesses (Ruby Mountain Chamber Quintet and Perpetual Motion Dance Studio) who can not apply for grants themselves to the fiscal agent for their grants. These businesses/organizations do not have a 501 c 3. They would prepare the grant and GBC would be the fiscal agent. Presidents Council discussed the pros and cons of acting as fiscal managers. Carl Diekhans stated that it is very hard for the Business Office to manage grants that are not associated with GBC. Presidents Council recommended offering our support by donating the use of facilities if available, but discouraged becoming the fiscal agents for their grants. Ms. Rosenthal reported that the HRSA grant will be gone as of April because it was part of an enhancement that was not approved by the legislature. The grant supported the Rural EMS project. GBC was awarded a College & Career Awareness grant from the Nevada Public Education ACCESS grant to support college and career awareness activities. We also received a grant from the Nevada Arts Council to support Shakespeare in American Communities project. GBC received the P.A.C.E. Coalition State Incentive Grant for the Challenging College Alcohol Abuse project. Ms. Rosenthal stated that a proposal has been submitted to Title III for eligibility status for designation as an eligible institution for 2005-2006. In March there are some upcoming deadlines for submitting grants to the Nevada Humanities Committee, the Nevada Arts Council, and the Nevada Commission on Tourism. All of these grants must have a 1:1 match. Some potential projects for funding for the upcoming grants are for the Great Basin Festival, the Great Basin Indian Archive Summer Institute, guest lectures for Arts/Humanities, the Summer Concert Series, and the art and literary magazine, IDEA. Ms. Rosenthal would like to form a Grants committee that could offer insight/assistance fro grant proposals and projects that are being developed; assistance with implementing funded projects; and a forum for keeping key offices informed of project implementation/activities. She envisions the committee consisting of Garry Heberer, Scott Neilsen, Pauline Fisher Summer Ehrmann, Erik Seastedt, John Rice Danny Gonzales, Faculty Representative, and Student Representative. Ms. Rosenthal is also working on a Grants Strategic Plan which should tie into the GBC Strategic Plan. She will meet with Dr. Danny Gonzales and Dr. Cliff Ferry for input. Grant-in-Aid, Temporary Part-time Faculty Lynn Mahlberg distributed the updated policy for Grant-in-Aid for Temporary Part-time Faculty. It will be submitted to the Board of Regents for approval at the meeting in April. Tech Prep-Joint Policy Statement UCCSN BOR/Nevada State Board of Education/State Board for Occupational Education At the statewide Tech Prep meeting a draft of an agreement between the Department of Education and the U.C.C.S.N. Board of Regents was reviewed. This will formalize and standardize Tech Prep agreements around the state. Lynn Mahlberg represents the U.C.C.S.N. Student Affairs group, and Jowell Laguerre represents the Academic Affairs Vice Presidents. The draft will be presented in April to ARSA, BOR, and Board of Education. Ms. Mahlberg wanted to commend Pauline Fisher and Anna Kincaid for the work theyve done for GBC. They met with our Admissions & Records department to work out how students could receive credit immediately for their high school articulated courses. The packet of GBC information was well received the other institutions. Nevada Gear-Up Ms. Mahlberg reported that the Gear-Up program is going well. We are three years into this five year program that is tracking and providing services such as tutoring and campus visits to low income students from the 7th grade on. It has been successful in getting these kids to think about college at an early age. The parents sign an agreement to assist their kids in anyway they can. Ms. Mahlberg stated that weve combined this with the ACCESS grant so that if a child doesnt qualify for the Gear-Up, we can bring them on the tours anyway. ADA Statement in Syllabi Ms. Mahlberg stated that an ADA statement is not required on syllabi but may be included if the instructor desires. The appropriate language when putting an ADA statement on syllabi is: GBC supports providing equal access for students with disabilities. An advisor is available to discuss appropriate accommodations with students. Please contact the ADA Officer (Julie Byrnes) in Elko at 775.753.2271 at your earliest convenience to request timely and appropriate accommodations. Native American Market Update Dr. Gonzales reported that the Native American Market is part of our overall entrepreneurial plan. He reported that the Market wasnt just about trying to make money but also had academic and artistic components. The results of the vendor survey were overwhelming that they wanted to participate next year. Sales for the event were $3,100. GBCs expenses were $1,195.91 and income was $755.00. GBC invested $440 for a reversible banner. Dr. Killpatrick said that there is a possibility two or three spaces at the Motorcycle Jamboree for the Native American Market. Miscellaneous Dr. Gonzales reported on the Entrepreneurial Initiative. We have used Tech Prep money to bring in Michael Simmons as the keynote speaker to kickoff our Entrepreneurial Initiative. We have many of the courses already developed. The Small Business Development Center has adopted a series of NxLevel Entrepreneurial Training Programs that are available to the local community. GBC can partner with SBDC and utilize the NxLevel training for credit. The Entrepreneurial Initiative would be the blueprint that would help focus priorities in programs such as the SBDC NxLevel Curriculum, GBC Kids College, Great Basin Native American Market, FBLA, Entrepreneur Associate Degree and Certificate Programs, Agriculture Program and FFA, School District Programs, and Library Holdings. Dr. Gonzales also reported that during the AACC conference in Boston, a campus visit has been arranged to tour Springfield Technical College to get some insight on what they are doing with their Entrepreneurial Institute. Springfield Technical College is spearheading effort to obtain a federal grant for entrepreneurial training, and GBC has agreed to be a pilot institution. We could get $40,000 from this grant to continue our efforts in entrepreneurial training. Dr. Killpatrick stated we received a letter from the Reynolds Foundation informing us that higher education institutions will no longer be eligible to compete for capital grants under the Foundations Capital Grants Program. Their focus has shifted toward helping communities meet their greatest needs through improved facilities for their outstanding local non-profit organizations. They may from time to time invite selected institutions to apply for specific grant opportunities. Reynolds is supporting entrepreneurial efforts. Carl Diekhans addressed the problems that the bookstore has been having. The major complaints of students not receiving their books was because of equipment failure. Follett has fixed problems with their internet site and has ordered backup equipment so that the problem doesnt occur again. There are ongoing problems that occur that are out of our control. Examples: It creates a problem when a student gives a P.O. Box number as UPS can only deliver to a physical address. The Follett website shows an option of second day air which is not an option in this service area. If there is a limit on a charge card and the Purchaser chooses a used book, when the used book isnt available the order cannot be filled due to the limit established. Follett should put on their website if available for used book orders. Debit cards have immediate charge to accounts. Refunds can take five working days to be credited. Mr. Diekhans will talk to Faculty Senate to explain these problems the bookstore has been having. Dr. McFarlane reported that a workload policy has been sent out to members for review. There is still debate over online classes. The Dean search is down to three candidates. Job description is being reviewed. Dr. Killpatrick may not be able to meet with all candidates for all positions, but he would like to meet with the Dean candidates. Dr. Killpatrick reported that the Chancellor wants all the Presidents to meet every other week in person until the legislature ends. Lobbying will be different from last year. The funding for the Electrical Technical Building appears to be ours, but its the enhancements such as funding rural health, higher part-time wages, and lowering nursing ratios that we need to keep lobbying for. Ms. Mahlberg reported that College Goal Sunday was successful with 59 students coming through. Next year College Goal Sunday will be done interactively with Winnemucca and Ely. College Goal Sunday is a three year grant that Jeannie Rosenthal wrote for the system. This was a successful GBC initiated effort that benefited the whole state. John Rice is working on the new design for the general brochure. He will be presenting some options in the next 4 to 6 weeks. He and Lynn Mahlberg have been discussing the possibility of discontinuing mailing the schedule out to thousands in our service are and instead publish a Career Focus Magazine which is a professionally created magazine featuring news from GBC. There would be two publications a year and they would take the place of mailing the schedule. Schedules will still be available. Erik Seastedt verified that if a classified person works as an adjunct or facilitator we will have to pay them a blended overtime rate for the hours they work or the regular rate per credit that adjuncts make, whichever is greater. Mr. Seastedt reported on the new FICA requirements. We are going to let part-timers have the option to stay on social security or choose the FICA alternative. However, all new part time employees will not have a choice; they will have to take the FICA alternative. Mr. Seastedt says that sometime in the future there is a possibility that we will have to conduct an audit of the personnel files to verify employees have the credential they say they have. This would be system wide. Summer Ehrmann reported that $575,000 has been received so far for the Community Expansion project. She said 200 tickets have been sold for the Dinner Dance scheduled for February 26. Tickets are still available. She and Chris Johnson will be attending the Legislative reception in Carson City on February 16, along with Paul Killpatrick and John Rice. This month is Black History Month. Lynn Owens has been instrumental in organizing events on campus. There will be lectures on race and racism, the civil rights movement. There will be a presentation about the woman who started the first NWACP chapter in Nevada. Also, Sherman Alexie, Native American playwright and speaker will be speaking on March 19 at Western Folklife Center.
