As the fall semester is coming to an end SGA would like to congratulate all students for getting this far in such rough times. SGA would also like to thank all of WCTC staff and faculty for helping us reach this end goal.

SGA is finishing up strong and we will host our last fall event Minute to Win It and our last LEAD meeting which Student Development will host an Alcohol Awareness presentation. For the rest of the semester SGA will finish detailing our Spring line up student events. SGA will continue to run all events online through zoom. To give a little sneak peak of our events; SGA plans to host a spooky fortune teller and an awesome magician, in which students are able to invite their family members to participate and watch through zoom. SGA have listened to students and made our events available in a timely manner so all students are able to participate.

For the month of November SGA voted to approve a funding request from the AFSC of up to $500 for food vouchers for veteran students for Veterans Day. In our previous SGA meeting, SGA voted to help fund a new and exciting scholarship for 1st generation students. SGA hopes to fund this scholarship in the future as SGA believes that every student no matter their backgroud should receive an opputunity to attend college, especially such as an accredited college as WCTC.

In conclusion, I would like to give a big thanks to all of the SGA Senators and board members who are continuing to balance school, work and home life. I am so thankful to have them and an awesome group of peers that are able to pull off this work especially throughout these tough times. Thank you for your time.

MEMORANDUM TO: WCTC District Board FROM: Kaylen M. Betzig, President RE: Request to Submit a Program Approval to the Wisconsin Technical College System

Board for an Interior Design – Kitchen and Bath Design Associate of Applied Science Program

DATE: November 25, 2020 Attached is an executive summary requesting Waukesha County Technical College (WCTC) District Board approval to submit a Program Approval for an Interior Design (ID) – Kitchen and Bath Design Associate of Applied Science (AAS) program to the Wisconsin Technical College System (WTCS) Board. The local needs demonstration identified strong demand for Kitchen and Bath Designers in Waukesha County. In addition, developing this program is responding to an expressed need of the ID – Kitchen and Bath Design ad hoc advisory committee, which has shown enthusiastic support for the program throughout the program development process. The WCTC District Board approved the Concept Review for this program at its October 13, 2020 meeting and the WTCS Board approved it at their November 11, 2020 meeting. Now we are asking the Board to approve moving forward in the second and final stage of the process, the Program Approval stage. With your support, we will submit the Program Approval documents to the WTCS Board for final approval at their January 19, 2021 meeting. A timeline of this process is included for your information. Thank you for your consideration in this matter. ___________________________________________ Kaylen M.

Request to Submit a Program Approval for an Interior Design – Kitchen and Bath Design

Associate of Applied Science Program December 2020

Joan Hader, Associate Dean – Education and Human Services Dawn Voigt, Program Development Coordinator – Institutional Research and Effectiveness

Waukesha County Technical College (WCTC) wishes to proceed with offering an Interior Design – Kitchen and Bath Design Associate of Applied Science Program. We request the WCTC District

Board’s approval to submit a Program Approval to the Wisconsin Technical College System (WTCS). Background In order to serve the needs of local employers and students, WCTC wishes to add an Interior Design (ID) – Kitchen and Bath Design Associate of Applied Science (AAS) program to its related offerings. In so doing, the College will serve a labor market need expressed by area employers and expand our offerings in the design industry pathway. This program would be in addition to the currently offered ID general AAS degree that the College has offered since 1996. The only other college in the WTCS offering this specialized ID program is Fox Valley Technical College (FVTC), which also offers a general ID AAS program. Career and Educational Pathway Opportunities Adding the ID – Kitchen and Bath Design AAS will provide WCTC students several career options in the field: residential design, commercial design, and kitchen and bath specialty design. The ID – Kitchen and Bath Design will share a significant amount of credits with the general ID program, where students are exposed to foundational residential and commercial design concepts, and graduate with a broad overview of design (mostly geared toward residential work). In 2015, the department added a dual degree pathway with the College’s Architectural Drafting/Construction Technology AAS program. This innovative partnership allows students to complete both AAS degrees in three years and provides expanded education on commercial aspects of designing interior spaces. In 2019, the ID program became a National Kitchen and Bath Association (NKBA) affiliated school to provide additional opportunities to students, and to prepare for a possible kitchen and bath specialty program. Professional associations are the primary avenue through which practitioners enhance their credentials. The NKBA offers the opportunity to become Certified Kitchen and Bath Designers achieved via a combination of education and experience. A certification opportunity exists for Certified Master Kitchen and Bath Designers as well. Designers may also earn Micro-credential badges in specialty areas including: Cabinetry, Floor Plans and Specifications, Sustainability, Sales & Marketing, Lighting, Color, Living in Place, and Remodeling. A series of proficiency examinations also exist through the Council for Interior Design Qualifications (CQID). Eligibility for the initial exam requires a minimum of 60 credit hours of interior design coursework and requires an interior design credential as well as three years of supervised work experience. According to members of the proposed ID - Kitchen and Bath Design program Ad Hoc Advisory Committee, continuing education is critical to success in the occupation. Designers must stay up to date as methods and materials are constantly changing. Companies often provide financial incentives for their employees to attain additional expertise and enhance the range of services they can provide. The current ID program has articulation agreements with Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design (MIAD) (Bachelor of Fine Arts [BFA] Interior Architecture and Design) and Mount Mary University, (Bachelor of Arts in Interior Design). According to ad hoc Committee Members, a bachelor’s degree is not necessary to be a successful designer in the field, but it remains an option for those students who wish to advance their education. Ad Hoc Committee members indicated that most program graduates would enter the field as Junior or Assistant Designers. The most common career path will lead them to become Senior Designer or Designer. These positions frequently include selling and a degree of independence not associated with the entry-level position. Others may specialize in various facets of the kitchen and bath industry, such as plumbing or cabinetry. There are opportunities for designers to move into positions associated with the occupation, such as

13

working for product vendors or firms with a more construction or architectural focus. Some designers will start their own interior design firms. Program Cost/Return on Investment Both operational and capital resource investments will be necessary to launch this program. Existing office space will be developed into a Learning Lab with an estimated cost of $200,000. This expense is in the budget for the upcoming fiscal year as it has been part of the Master Facilities Plan. Additionally, approximately $59,000 will be required for capital equipment including software licensing and lab equipment. Based on information from the ad hoc advisory committee, we have reason to believe this figure may be reduced due to vendor donations to the lab/program. Approximately $20,000 is needed for capital technology including kitchen and bath lab learning technology. Beyond the initial capital investment, costs to operate the program will be moderate. Operational costs for the program include about $9,400 for curriculum development, and about $21,000 adjunct faculty salary in the first year, just over $57,000 the second year, and almost $61,000 the third year and each year thereafter. While it can be difficult to predict how many credits an average student will take in each term, once the program is established (by year three), there is a realistic potential of generating approximately $117,000 in tuition and fees annually, which should offset the annual cost of instruction associated with running additional course sections with adjunct faculty. The College intends to apply for a Developing Markets General Purpose Revenue grant through the WTCS to help offset the cost of launching the program. The program is expected to achieve economies of scale through its relationship with the existing ID and Architectural Drafting programs (shared courses), leveraging the work of current faculty members and administrative infrastructure, and providing students options to complete multiple programs with time and cost efficiency, should they choose to do so. Summary and Conclusion The proposed ID – Kitchen and Bath Design program will help meet labor market demand and serve both students and employers in Waukesha County. Adding this program will provide WCTC the opportunity to expand its offerings and partnerships with area organizations and provide innovative solutions to workforce challenges. This will be on the agenda as an action item for the Tuesday, December 8, 2020 WCTC District Board meeting. Joan Hader, Associate Dean of Education and Human Services; and Dawn Voigt, Program Development Coordinator, will be present to respond to questions. ACTION: We are requesting the WCTC Board’s approval to Submit a Program Approval to the Wisconsin Technical College System Board, and to proceed with developing the program.

WCTC Proposed Interior Design – Kitchen and Bath Design Associate of Applied Science

Program Costing Worksheet Explainer

Attached is a Costing Worksheet for the proposed Interior Design – Kitchen and Bath Design Associate of Applied Science program that shows costs associated with the program broken out by category. The following narrative explains what is contained in the various columns on the spreadsheet. The costing information is broken down into three types of costs that may be incurred by the program during the first three years of its existence.

• Base Budget – This column shows costs related to the program that are already included in the General Fund budget. The college would not need to seek additional funding for these costs.

• New – This column identifies new ongoing costs the college would need to incur as a result of adding this program. The college will need to either reallocate funds from other budgeted accounts in the General Fund or add new budget dollars from new revenues (such as new tuition and fees generated as a result of new FTEs for the program being approved). These costs would be recurring yearly and should be incorporated into the base budget as part of the budgeting process for the identified fiscal year. The costing template will generally show these as new costs for the various years since they have not yet been built into the base budget when the Board gets the costing template.

• One-Time – This column identifies new costs the college would need to incur that are one-time in nature. If there are capital items that need to be purchased, these costs will generally be included in this column. If the college is applying for grants to cover some of the new costs, these costs will also be shown in the one-time cost column for those years the college anticipates receiving grant funds, which are typically for one year only. For years where grant funds would not be available, these costs would be shown in the “New” column. For grant funds, there would also be corresponding grant revenue shown in this column for the portion that is anticipated to be paid by grant dollars.

The intent with the costing template is to provide the WCTC Board information related to the costing impact for the program the Board is being asked to approve. Assumptions used in the Costing Worksheet are shown in an additional page.

The cost reflects two adjuncts teaching 26-credits (26-credits for 11 courses) to Cohort #2 in Year One. The cost also reflects two adjuncts teaching 14-credits (14-credits for 6 courses) to Cohort #1 in Year Two.

Two of the 19 total courses required in 2022-23 can be absorbed in current section offerings already available through the Interior Design and/or Archictural Drafting programs.

The cost reflects two adjuncts teaching 26-credits (26-credits for 11 courses) to Cohort #3 in Year One. The cost also reflects two adjuncts teaching 19-credits (19 credits for 8 courses) to Cohort #2 in Year Two.

Assuming the program is performing well, it is estimated that we will offer one section of all courses in the curriculum from this point forward.

WCTC Proposed Interior Design - Kitchen and Bath Design Associate (AAS) Program Costing Assumptions

If approved, the Interior Design - Kitchen and Bath Design Associate of Applied Science (AAS) program would be first offered in Fall Semester 2021-22. The necessary curriculum development for Year 1 courses would occur fall of 2021. For year 2 courses curriculum development would be conducted from Summer 2021 (July 1, 2021) through Summer 2022 (August 30, 2022). The

program will enroll 12 new students during Fall Semester 2021, 16 the following fall and 18 in the final fall. Program capacity will remain at 18 new students annually thereafter. Other assumptions used in the Costing Worksheet include the following:

2021-22 One-time Instructional Staff Cost for First Year

2021-22 Full-time/Part-time Faculty Staffing Costs

Year 1 curriculum costs = $2,200 (3-credits, including a 1-credit and a 2-credit course X $550/credit= $1650). Year 2 curriculum costs = $6,600 (14-credits, including four, 3-credit courses and a 2-credit course x $550/credit=$7,700)

The cost reflects two adjuncts teaching 18-credits (18 credits for 7 courses) to Cohort #1 in Year One.

WCTC BOARD ADVISORY COUNCIL

GOVERNANCE PROCESS

POLICY 1.6A

To provide support and feedback to the Waukesha County Technical College (WCTC) President/CEO the WCTC Board of Trustees (BoT) has formed a WCTC Board Advisory Council (BAC). The BAC consists of the Board Chair, Vice-Chair, and the Secretary-Treasurer of the College. The BAC meets monthly with the WCTC President/CEO and other college staff at invitation by the President/CEO. The meetings typically occur ninety minutes before the regularly scheduled WCTC Board meetings. An agenda is prepared by the President/CEO and is sent to the BAC one week prior to the meeting. BAC agendas do not have to be posted to the public as a quorum of the BoT is not present.

The purpose of the BAC is as follows:

1. Provide support and feedback to the College President/CEO on broad issues facing the College or new initiatives that would benefit from the insight of the BAC.

2. Alerts the BAC regarding potential issues that the BoT may need to address. 3. The opportunity for the President/CEO to discuss freely any concerns or

questions where they may need additional support and guidance.

The BAC does not:

1. Create policy or act in place of the BoT who is the legal governing body of the College.

2. Have any formal legal responsibilities. 3. Dictate the direction of the BoT or the College.

The BAC strengthens the communication and support between the President/CEO and the BoT Based on the feedback from the BAC the President/CEO may bring topics and issues forward to the BoT as needed.
