View the 1998 - 1999 Highlights of CFCC Accomplishments

Goal #1 Anticipate and prepare for the consequences of CFCC' s continual growth.

1a. Determine desirable FT/ PT faculty ratios and the resources needed to maintain.

(Response by Orangel Daniels)

The Department Chairs analyzed their FT/ PT faculty ratio; the results were submitted at a budget hearing.

The resources needed to maintain this ration include the following: more money to fund the positions; office space and office furniture; computers for instructors; more copiers; an increase in the budget for supplies, materials, and software; and a Fine Arts/Humanities Chair to provide more supervision to faculty. As we continue to grow in the instructional area, additional related courses will always be in demand. New curricula need to be approved before the budget hearing so that the desirable FT/PT ratio may be maintained.

A desirable ratio of full-time to part-time instructors 75:25. That would lead to consistency and continuity in the program.

1b. Build into the campus facilities planning process steps to assure that the same services and quality of services are provided to students at all campus locations.

(Response by Carl Brown)

In processes where budget allotments are available services will be up to par. Special efforts are being made to provide adequate basic services. For example, similar vending is available on all campuses.

1c. Investigate alternative transportation systems with the Wilmington Transit Authority (WTA) such as evening bus service and a " shuttle" connecting the North and Downtown campuses.

(Response by Carl Brown)

Ongoing. If and when traffic patterns of students can support bus services, public transportation may be implemented. As the North Campus is completed a shuttle service will be studied.

1d. Identify CFCC employees eligible to retire in the next 1-5 years and develop strategies to address severely affected departments.

(Response by Charlotte Dexter)

CFCC employees eligible to retire in the next 1-5 years have been identified.

An online information " kiosk" has been developed; it will be made available on the web as soon as mechanisms for keeping the information up-to-date are established. Placing it on-campus has been discussed but not acted upon.

(Response by Sherri Mayberry)

The department has begun exploring the possibility of securing electronic bulletin boards, including costs and projected locations.

While limited progress has been made on an electronic communication system on campus, communications with students have improved through workshops relating to Nursing and Allied Health programs. These sessions assist students in understanding and preparing to successfully complete the application process. Additionally, greater attention has been focused on means of informing students of upcoming events and requirements (letters, signs, more deadline information in the calendar, schedule, etc.)

Career and Testing, Counseling, Enrollment Management and Financial Aid services, on a rotating bases, provides increased information and services at both the Burgaw and Hampstead Campuses. Dates and times that personnel will be available are advertised to allow students to plan for greatest access.

A CFCC information session about academic programs, admission, career and testing services and financial aid was presented via closed circuit TV to all Hoggard High School seniors.

3b. Further develop CFCC Intranet capabilities and train faculty and staff in the use of this resource for improving communications.

(Response by Camellia Rice)

More information has been added to the Intranet (particularly IE materials); formal communication forms have been developed for making request of Maintenance and of Computer Services. An online order form for central stores is in development. No special training is needed in order to use this resource.

3c. Explore and implement ways to recognize the value of all employees such as increasing recognition and reward opportunities, inviting part time employees to participate in meetings and events, and providing access to computers and office space.

(Response by Camellia Rice)
