Agenda Items

Miscellaneous

1. Student Trustee Orientation - The new Student Trustee Orientation will take place during the SLT meeting on May 28 and will be approximately one hour in length.

   Outcome: VP's will distribute appropriate materials for their areas to the student trustee and the trustee orientation power point presentation will be shown.

2. SLT summer vacation schedule - Vacation schedule of SLT members was reviewed to ensure proper coverage at the college during the summer months.

Student Development

1. Student concern - B. Oudenhoven apprised the SLT of a situation regarding a gifted student and the mother's request to have more programs geared toward gifted students beginning in middle school. The request was to have JJC partner with other schools/colleges on this matter.

   Outcome: Dr. Proulx will work with D. Haynes and M. Semmer on this request.

2. Graduation concerns - B. Oudenhoven indicated that she was made aware that our May graduation maxed out as far as occupancy of the gym was concerned. The overflow rooms were also full and additional chairs had to be brought into these rooms. Discussion needs to begin to address this situation and options for future graduations. Perhaps having two ceremonies on the same day or moving graduation off campus would be items to consider.

   Outcome: These concerns will be discussed with the graduation committee for future commencement ceremonies.

3. Student travel procedures - B. Oudenhoven indicated that the student travel procedures needed to be updated and reviewed what had been completed currently.

   Outcome: Procedures will be updated and brought back to SLT in the near future.

1. Budget reductions - J. Bucifferro discussed the need for budget decreases for the FY09 and provided SLT with a list of possible suggestions to help make the cuts to balance the budget.

   Outcome: SLT made the necessary budget revisions to enable JJC to present a balanced budget for FY09.

2. Travel Procedures - J. Mitchell reviewed the travel procedures and asked for input from SLT.

Institutional Advancement and Research

• Foundation golf outing - Reminder that the annual foundation golf outing will be held on June 16 and the Alumni Brunch will be held on June 8.

Academic Affairs

1. Space issues - There is a need for space for faculty and new dean positions and D. Haynes asked SLT to think about ways to meet this need.

2. CLT - The current members of CLT were reviewed. B. Oudenhoven and D. Haynes will review the members and make revisions as needed. The meetings will take place on Wednesday afternoons following the regular Board meetings.

   Outcome: The CLT list will be revised and brought back to SLT for review.

LSTS

1. Web site redesign - Admissions web site is almost ready to go and should be ready to launch in the very near future.
