PRESENTATIONS BY INDIVIDUALS FROM THE COLLEGE AND COMMUNITY --None IV. PRESENTATIONS: "Retention Plan Update" -- Dr. Subrina Smith-Taylor, Ms. Gina Bowers Dr. Smith-Taylor and Ms. Bowers provided an overview of the College's retention plan for addressing attrition. The plan comprises strategies intended to retain students, assist them in achieving educational goals ranging from personal enrichment to a degree, and meet or exceed the College's enrollment management goals.

2 Geared toward all students, the plan includes specific emphases on recent high school students and adult/evening students. It responds to a variety of factors that have been identified as contributors to attrition: students holding full-time or part-time jobs, 33 percent of students having family commitments that limit their ability to attend classes, financial need, poor academic performance, and educational goals that do not include degreecompletion. The plan is founded on the premise that all faculty and staff must be sincerely concerned about students and their needs. Among its highlights are academic monitoring for all students on academic probation, the creation of a "user-friendly" on-line referral system for faculty, and a means of assessing students' need for alterative delivery of services. Administrators are also reviewing the College's current policy on suspension and readmission, and the requirement that students successfully complete 75% of their classes to qualify for financial aid. A required freshman seminar course and an assessment of the need for evening childcare are also under way. V. OLD BUSINESS -- None VI.

College and Other Matters Dr. Baehre Dr. Baehre reported on a productive recent meeting of the Pennsylvania community college presidents with Secretary of Education Vicki Phillips. It was the second of six monthly meetings the Pennsylvania Commission for Community Colleges has arranged with Sec. Phillips. Discussion included audit legislation that has been introduced, proposals for more

3 equitable funding for the colleges, and capital funding issues. Dr. Baehre told the group that Harrisburg Area Community College had been forced to turn away 176 students because no classroom space was available or because the College had been unable to hire enough instructors in the specific disciplines with the greatest demand. Statewide, the community colleges will face a $20 million shortfall under the Governor's proposed budget, Dr. Baehre said, adding that the $9 million that has been included in the budget is reimbursement for Sec. Phillips said she will not stand in the way of the Community College Board legislation. Dr. Baehre said the college presidents welcome Sec. Phillips's energy and are eager to see if she can accomplish as much at the state level as she did while superintendent of schools in Lancaster. X. PERSONNEL Mr. Robinson A.
