Strategic Planning Cliff Ferry has been invited to the Presidents Council meeting on September 30 to report on the progress of the Strategic Planning report. Selection of 鶹ӰԺ Lapel Pin Presidents Council has chosen a design for the 鶹ӰԺ lapel pin. Joyce Shaw will obtain a price so that we can proceed with ordering. Russian Delegation Dr. Killpatrick provided an itinerary for the Russian delegation that will be visiting 鶹ӰԺ as part of the Open World Leadership program, which is a program set up between the Russian government and the United States Congress to promote better communications and economic diversification. There is a lot of potential here to grow our international students. The Russian delegation will be on-campus today. Nominations for Unsung Hero Award Presidents Council nominated Jeanne Rosenthal as 鶹ӰԺs Unsung Hero to be presented at the October Board of Regents meeting. It was noted that it was very difficult to come up with one person, there are so many. Institutional Memberships for Occupational Ed. At the next Board of Regents meeting in October, the Vice Presidents will informally query their counterparts at the other institutions on their policies regarding the payment of individual professional memberships. The Vice Presidents will report back the findings in two weeks. Community College Conference Dr. Elliott reported that a meeting has been held to form a steering committee for the 2004 Nevada Community College Conference to be held at 鶹ӰԺ. She reported that there is great faculty representation and great ideas were brought forward. The next steering committee meeting will be Tuesday, September 30, 2003 at 10:30 a.m. Grant Update Ms. Jeanne Rosenthal provided an update on grants. She reported the Nevada Public Education Foundation, a private foundation that was formed to help with Nevadas public education endeavors, has a $45,000 grant which will be awarded to four entities. In the past, 鶹ӰԺ has used money from this grant to hold the college and career awareness days (Access). 鶹ӰԺ will be applying for this grant again. She stated that 鶹ӰԺ would also like money to fund a speaker for a junior/senior day. Ms. Rosenthal has estimated a budget amount of $9,391. Presidents Council recommended she proceed with the proposal which is due September 30, 2003. Ms. Rosenthal stated she has received a request from the Northeastern Nevada Museum about a possible partnership with 鶹ӰԺ to help with their Western Stories in the Park program by providing faculty for lectures and possibly some facilities. Dr. Daniels will send an email to all faculty to see if there is an interest in providing lectures for the program. Dr. Killpatrick stated that this seems like something the college would be interested in supporting. The National Science Foundation proposal has been submitted. 鶹ӰԺ will be notified in approximately six months whether we received the grant. Dr. Mehrotra, consultant to 鶹ӰԺ for the NSF grant, suggested that we look at other funding sources to be able to do the project, and Ms. Rosenthal suggested the FIPSE grant for funding of the computers in the residential hall. 鶹ӰԺ can submit two separate proposals. A meeting will be scheduled to discuss other FIPSE opportunities. 鶹ӰԺ was awarded $1,000 from the Nevada Humanities Committee for the Great Basin Festival for this year. 鶹ӰԺ has also applied for $25,000 from the National Endowment for the Arts for the 2004 Great Basin Festival to be held September 14 18, 2004. 鶹ӰԺ did not get the Title III grant. The scores were impressive, but the grant is very competitive. Our only weakness in the proposal was not enough time dedicated to managing the project. New Leadership Nevada Ms. Ashley Hickie and Ms. Robbie Phillips presented information to Presidents Council on the New Leadership Nevada conference they attended at UNLV. These young women represented 鶹ӰԺ at this six-day mentoring program which taught them about the challenges and unique opportunities that women in leadership roles face. Twenty-four women from most of the institutions around the state met to make contacts, learn orating skills and gain knowledge about what it takes to run a campaign, start a grass-roots organization or become a community leader. Ms. Hickie reported that each woman was assigned a mentor (women in politics, CEOs, presidents of universities) with whom they could follow for the week. Ms. Phillips reported that it was not an easy program to be accepted to. The two 鶹ӰԺ ladies made an excellent impression at the conference. Ms. Phillips was chosen the woman with the greatest leadership and poise, and Ms. Hickie was elected as the editor of the newsletter. In conjunction with the conference, both women applied for and were awarded a grant which they will use for a voter registration drive. Presidents Council thanked the young women for doing a great job representing the college. Meeting with New Mexico School Superintendents Mr. Gonzales updated Presidents Council on a conference call he had with Dr. Leonardo Sanchez-Saenz, Dr. Eric Henderson, and New Mexico School Superintendents. They wanted information on our Bachelor programs, particularly about teacher education, and were particularly interested in the rural areas. Great Basin Festival Update Mr. Gonzales briefly updated Presidents Council on the Great Basin Festival. A more formal report will be given in a couple of weeks. Miscellaneous Presidents Council reviewed the proposed changes to the UCCSN Master Plan Goals. Most of the goals have been reordered to reflect updated priorities. Two similar goals have been blended together into a single goal. Two new goals have been added. The Chancellor has requested written comments or suggestions from faculty, students, and staff to be sent to her office no later than October 15, 2003. 鶹ӰԺs recommendation for number 3 goal should state Nevadans enrolling in all levels of higher education and will address the unique educational needs of a highly diverse and non-traditional population. Dr. Elliott reported that Dr. Heberer and Ms. Julie Byrnes are working on compiling the information needed on the State Higher Education Executive Officers (SHEEO) pilot project. She indicated that there is difficulty in identifying students who have taken high school English and history classes. As an open door college, 鶹ӰԺ is not required to have high school transcripts, so working directly with the system office will be important to get the necessary information. Groupwise has been causing people some problems, probably because it has been so long since the training that people have forgotten how to use the program. Groupwise does have many capabilities, but we do not have the software to implement the scheduling and other functions. As a reminder, Groupwise will eventually be the only emailing system that 鶹ӰԺ will support. Dr. Killpatrick reported that next week he will announce the winners of the four Ruby Mountain Balloon rides. Four volunteers are needed for the ground crew. The rides will be on Saturday, October 25, 2003. Presidents Council reviewed the final changes to the new 鶹ӰԺ Telephone 鶹ӰԺ. All changes have been submitted to Media Services. Mr. Diekhans reported that auditors from PriceWaterhouseCoopers LLP are on campus to conduct the yearly financial audit. He said it is the colleges benefit to provide them all the assistance that we can. Dr. Killpatrick brought forth for discussion the issue of conducting criminal background checks for all professional positions, referencing an article that appeared in the Chronicle about a faculty member at Penn State who was a convicted triple murderer released on parole. 24<   M N O S b d v     # J  U V W g n x { P Q R ½¹㭥hO`h6k h >* h6k>*h6kh6k>*h6kh2v>*h$hs?hph2v h+@>* h2v>*h2vh2v>*h2vh)>*hSh h hvvhQ h)>*h1d=h vh,qh)6(;<c d   V W Q R  #0^`0gdQ & F DX#0^`0gdQ 0^`0gdQ & F DX0^`0gdQ$a$gd)''R $%*; /1CzV  ĸįīīīhwh&hhku5 h!i>*h!ih)>*h h!ih:Qh hNUxhz h+@>*hvvhU% h;>*h;h^h2vh) h2v>*@R rsRS ^gd!i gd!i & F DX0^`0gdQ 0^`0gdQ #0^`0gdQ & F DX#0^`0gdQ $-qr-5;QRS<= $&'hNXfx$>B#EGbehÿÿÿÿ컷ϯӫh2vh2v>*h2vhU%hO`hQshVhhhh2Ahzh) h2v>* h)>* h!ihAh hQUhvvhAh!ihWODh&@FGb!c!<#=#$$%% & &&&gdd; & Fgd  0^`0gdQ & F DX0^`0gdQ D%0^`0gdQ & F DXD%0^`0gdQhqc; X +!/!S!^!_!a!b!!!!"##<#=#$$$y%%%&=&B&H&L&M&g&{&&'7'9'<'='W''''''''¾κκήήζ hQh"h%hT~h"h &h hs?h)xhK4hphShvvh1d=h7hd;hQh)~ h)x>* h)>*h2vh2v>*hU%h2v9&''''''''' & Fgd &1h:p v/ =!"#$%@@@ NormalCJ_HaJmH sH tH DAD Default Paragraph FontRiR  Table Normal4 l4a (k@(No ListH@H Y Balloon TextCJOJQJ^JaJ4@4 _BHeader  !4 @4 _BFooter  !:(;<cdVWQR r s RSFGbc<=  0000000x 00 00 00 00 00x 00x 00x 00x000000x 00x 0 0 0 0 0 0 00  00x 00x 00x 00 00 0@0@0@0@0@0@00 R h'R &''@  @ 0(  B S  ?H0(   zL!z䑪zz4zzz,T#zlT#zT#z zT z z$zdz4zzz4z$"zd"z"z$#z z4 zt z z z z z̓ zDy# (AJJV  3Ge      :SU]] J$$R 9*urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttagsState8*urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttagstime8*urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttagsdate9*urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttagsplace=*urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags PlaceName=*urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags PlaceTypeB*urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttagscountry-region 10141518200320042325309DayHourMinuteMonthYear             bk3MS gn$  -5;QR<= ^_aaXXyMM79<GBC User u~At|%HV&V{h DD^D`hH.h ^`hH.h L^`LhH.h ^`hH.h ^`hH.h TLT^T`LhH.h $ $ ^$ `hH.h   ^ `hH.h L^`LhH.h^`OJQJo(hHh^`OJQJ^Jo(hHohpp^p`OJQJo(hHh@ @ ^@ `OJQJo(hHh^`OJQJ^Jo(hHoh^`OJQJo(hHh^`OJQJo(hHh^`OJQJ^Jo(hHohPP^P`OJQJo(hH u|%H                  43^2A)x vT~:Qs?U%&K4a4ku57;d;1d=+@A_BWODV!i6k:1m,qQsisvvNUx)~SO`hp 2vZ% YTP &)$QU"zy/Qw@P@UnknownG: Times New Roman5Symbol3& : Arial5& zaTahoma?5 z Courier New;Wingdings"hy zf-y&)9)9!24d3QH)?)GREAT BASIN COLLEGEGBC UserGBC User  Oh+'0 ( D P \ ht|GREAT BASIN COLLEGEREA 鶹ӰԺ UserIN BC BC  Normal.dot  鶹ӰԺ Usert 21 Microsoft Word 10.0@":@&@4CX@{af)՜.+,0 hp|  鶹ӰԺ9{ GREAT BASIN COLLEGE Title  !"#$%'()*+,-./012345689:;<=>@ABCDEFIRoot Entry FP#nfKData 1Table& WordDocument(:SummaryInformation(7DocumentSummaryInformation8?CompObjj  FMicrosoft Word Document MSWordDocWord.Document.89q
