Comments from Objective 4 workgroup

Is the objective for the goal embedded in one of our existing plans? If so describe:

We believe there is a gap in our planning that does not address the need to promote citizenship among college constituents. Some

programs are already doing this with volunteer work; for example: ASMVC, PA Program, EMS Program, etc. However, this does not seem to be a college-wide effort.

Is the objective measurable?

Objective 4A: Yes. A baseline could be established utilizing information from ASMVC Service Hours and professional program accreditation data. Increase in participation could be measured utilizing information from the newly developed website.

Objective 4B: Yes. A & R data about of supplemental transcripts issued each year. For employees, create a Flex Track type of program to

keep track, and/or utilize the “Pay It Forward” website.

Is the objective achievable within established timeline?

We believe we can get this started within three years

Who is/are the responsible party/parties for this objective?

VP Student Services should take the lead in developing the Coordinator or Liaison position, Developing & Seeking approval for a co-

curricular transcript and process, developing a method of getting data from the database onto the transcript, and supervising this position and the work of the unit. ASMVC is already heavily involved in the community and may be a resource for community connections.

Primary support would come from the VP of Business Area – VPB for identifying funding for the position and necessary resources

(possibly working with Grants & College Support), TSS Manager to spearhead the development or acquisition of a database program, HR to assist in identifying or creating processes for documenting employee volunteer activities in their records.

Feedback

Explore risk and liability issues

Discussion on the item suggested that the college would only be liable in situations where the volunteer opportunity lives within a college program or department. Further exploration is required.

Ultimate accountability – above the liaison (see above)

(Student Services – co-curricular transcript – D. Foster volunteered)
