-Three academic divisions (STEM, Applied Sciences, Liberal Arts); 45 FT faculty. -Over 50 AA degree programs; first two years of related baccalaureate programs in Morgantown (Largest contributor of transfer students to WVU - Morgantown – about 160 per year). -Three Applied baccalaureate degree programs (Business Management, Criminal Justice, Computer Information Systems; more under development including Sustainable Agriculture Entrepreneurism). Major Challenges at Potomac State College of WVU

1. Lack of an appropriately defined and well understood shared governance process. 2. No evidence of strategic institutional planning. 3. A significant PSC structural funding inequity (approximately -$2.7 million annually) compared to

three other WV baccalaureate degree schools of similar FTE enrollment. 4. Five state appropriation cuts in four years (including the permanent loss of $220K in special

Agriculture-related fund lines for signature Agriculture program area) with more cuts expected. 5. Aging capital infrastructure in academic, athletic, and most residence hall structures. 6. Six consecutive years of enrollment loss (which began prior to my arrival). 7. Few measures to validate teaching quality when I arrived. (No program level assessment of

student learning, nationally accredited AAS or BAS degree programs, or longitudinal mentoring & accountability at any level of the faculty evaluation process, and relatively low expectations for tenure and promotion.)

8. Extremely low ethnic diversity in the faculty/staff population vs. relatively high ethnic diversity (20%) in the student population.

My strategic goals:

1. Collaborate with college leadership entities to revise the College Governance Charter and Faculty Assembly Constitution with clearly define roles and improved avenues of communication.

2. Collaborate with the campus community to develop an Institutional Strategic Plan for the Future. 3. Invest in a full-time college development officer. 4. Work with WVU, the WV Legislature, alumni and friends of the College to improve PSC funding. 5. Work with unit managers to improve operating efficiencies across the campus to help address

revenue losses and the mission of the College: quality education at an affordable cost. 6. Invest in the Academic Affairs unit; add a full-time associate dean and full-time coordinator of

institutional effectiveness to develop/validate quality teaching & create a “culture of assessment”. 7. Incrementally improve capital infrastructure (as adequate funds permit) to upgrade facilities and

improve student amenities and enrollment. 8. Work with faculty to develop new (more career focused) associate and baccalaureate degree

programs, institute program-level assessment of student learning, and initiate efforts to obtain national accreditation of applied baccalaureate degree programs.

9. Work with the Campus Safety Officer and Chief of Police to improve safety & security on campus. 10. Collaborate with the WVU Division of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion to improve campus climate

and student success; particularly in light of the high minority student population.

Major Challenges at CalU: College of S&T Teaching/Learning Paradigm:

1. Was not well-aligned with the Cal U historic mission in teaching excellence (perfunctory faculty evaluations at all levels including the dean’s office),

2. With exception of the Eberly Science & Technology Center, had extremely poor teaching/learning classroom and laboratory facilities, and

3. Had experienced a 13-year decline in undergraduate enrollment.

My strategic goal: Change the teaching/learning paradigm in S&T by:

1. Re-focusing primary mission to teaching and student learning, 2. Developing a more effective faculty evaluation system including the use of qualitative and

quantitative student opinion of teaching performance, 3. Hiring new faculty who valued teaching, 4. Better communicating expectations for tenure & promotion, and 5. Implementing a strategic facility enhancement program to develop modern classrooms and

laboratories that not only improved productivity but also required the integration of experiential (active) teaching methodologies to improve student learning.
