President’s Report

Board of Regents Meeting March 14, 2014 KCTCS System Office, Versailles, Kentucky

____________________________________________________________________

The following information provides updates on President McCall’s annual leadership initiative, 2013-14 MOMENTUM.

GOAL - Momentum to impact student access, retention, and success will be sustained systemwide by further implementing the Transformation Business Plan Strategies: Student Services, Transfer, and Financial Aid. The implementation of these strategies will support the ongoing KCTCS Transformation Business Plan for 2010-16 and the achievement of the goals, performance measures, and targets outlined in the KCTCS Strategic Plan 2010-16 and the three KCTCS mission areas of:

• Workforce Education • Transfer Education • College and Workforce Readiness

Target Measurement - The KCTCS President will provide executive leadership, service, and support for the following Transformation Business Plan Strategies:

Student Services Implement an early alert software system that monitors student-related data to identify academically at-risk students and manage outreach efforts to them utilizing communication tools such as phone calls, emails, and instant messages.

Financial Aid Begin implementation of the Financial Aid strategy as outlined in the KCTCS Transformation Business Plan to establish unified financial aid standards at all KCTCS colleges based on industry-wide best practices.

Transfer Host a statewide Transfer Partnership Summit between KCTCS and its four-year institutional transfer partners (public and private) to build awareness, knowledge, and skills that increase access, retention, and success of KCTCS transfer students.

2013-14 MOMENTUM Update The Student Services, Financial Aid, and Transfer project components of the MOMENTUM targets are on schedule, and the approved resource requirements have been designated. The authorized teams are continuously moving towards the completion of the project deliverables; formal training of staff is in progress for efficient adoption and for successful implementation. The Change and Project Management Office has engaged the authorized teams in formal project management to produce regular project status reports. Student Services • Starfish Early Alert Software Administrators’ Training - February 26- 27, 2014 - As part of

the Go KCTCS! Student Service Center contract, KCTCS colleges have begun implementation of Starfish Early Alert Retention Solutions. Early Alert identifies at-risk students and communicates with students, advisors, and academic support staff when flags or referrals are raised by the students’ instructors or college staff. KCTCS college faculty and staff identified as Starfish Administrators were trained how to create messages, develop student groups, and manage surveys. When a flag or referral is created, the student receives an automated message regarding the need to meet with the instructor or attend an academic support session (such as tutoring or meeting with the instructor). At the same time, the student’s academic advisor and other identified support staff receive this communication. This network of communications allows appropriate intervention to support student success. If needed, the student may schedule an appointment with their instructor or advisor through Starfish Connect - a tool within the Starfish technology for web conferencing and mobile collaboration to create effective faculty and student virtual interactions.

Financial Aid • Discovery Analysis (Standardization) - As a result of the compilation of information collected during college visits,

10 potential standardizations have been identified. College financial aid workgroups are currently working with the KCTCS Financial Aid Office to develop and implement as many as possible for the 2014-15 financial aid year. Examples of standardizations moving forward include document imaging, an online loan application, an online Standards of Progress (SAP) form, and standardizing disbursement of loans. Updating and standardizing the knowledge base continues on an ongoing basis.

• Financial Aid Document Imaging - The User Acceptance Testing continues with the Core Teams at Somerset Community College, Henderson Community College, and Hopkinsville Community College. Additionally, the document scanners have been purchased and delivered to all colleges, with on-site training beginning in March 2014.

Transfer Summit Colleges and universities around the state are gearing up for the Kentucky Community and Technical College System Statewide Transfer Summit scheduled for April 3, 2014, at the Hyatt Regency in Lexington. Each college or university president, including KCTCS’s 16 colleges and 34 four-year Kentucky-based partners, has been personally invited by President McCall to participate and to bring the institution’s provost and three transfer professionals as well. For KCTCS institutions, the Transfer Summit Planning Team has suggested that each president consider inviting the institution’s current Director of Transfer (or Transfer Coordinator) along with two Foundations of Excellence Implementation Liaisons or key members of the Transfer Transformation Team. Each institution may have up to five individuals attend the summit; there is no charge for registration.

This will be a premier event for forging and expanding transfer partnerships throughout the Commonwealth, a key part of building momentum in transforming transfer opportunities for Kentucky students.

The following information provides updates on the efforts to accomplish the GOALS as outlined in the KCTCS Strategic Plan 2010-16.

ADVANCE EXCELLENCE AND INNOVATION IN TEACHING, LEARNING, AND SERVICE. Performance Measures:

• Engagement • Licensure, Certification Pass Rate

Aspen Institute College Excellence Program’s Top 150 Community Colleges Four KCTCS colleges were recognized by the Aspen Institute College Excellence Program as being in the nation’s top 150 community colleges eligible to compete for the 2015 Aspen Prize for Community College Excellence and $1 million in prize funds. The colleges are Hazard Community and Technical College (HCTC), Madisonville Community College (MCC), Southeast Kentucky Community and Technical College (SKCTC), and West Kentucky Community and Technical College (WKCTC). WKCTC has been named one of the top 10 community colleges in the nation by the Aspen Institute for two consecutive years. The college was a top five finalist in 2011. The Aspen Prize, awarded every two years, is the nation's signature recognition of high achievement and performance among America's community colleges and recognizes institutions for exceptional student outcomes in four areas: student learning, certificate and degree completion, employment and earnings, and high levels of access and success for minority and low-income students. The Aspen Institute identified the top 150 community colleges through an assessment of institutional performance, improvement, and equity on student retention and completion measures. Together, the 150 community colleges eligible to compete for the Aspen Prize represent the diversity and richness of the entire sector: • They are located in 37 states across the nation. • They represent urban, rural, and suburban markets. • They encompass big community colleges and small community colleges - from Miami Dade

College in Florida serving over 100,000 students to Carver Career Center in West Virginia serving fewer than 500 students.

3

The 150 community colleges were selected from a national pool of over 1,000 public two-year colleges using publicly available data on student outcomes. The formula used to select the colleges was devised by expert analysts at the National Center for Higher Education Management Systems in consultation with an expert advisory committee convened by the Aspen Institute. The data focus on student retention and completion, considered from three perspectives: • Performance (retention, graduation rates including transfers, and degrees and certificates per 100

"full-time equivalent" students). • Improvement (awarded for steady improvement in each performance metric over time). • Equity (evidence of strong completion outcomes for minority and low-income students). Ten finalists will be named in fall 2014. The Aspen Institute will then conduct site visits to each of the finalists and collect additional quantitative data, including employment and earnings data from states and transfer data from the National Student Clearinghouse. A distinguished Prize Jury will select a grand prize winner and a few finalists with distinction in early 2015. Accreditation Update KCTCS colleges are independently accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS), the recognized regional accrediting body in the 11 southernmost states (Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia). Accreditation is typically for a 10 year period with a report due during the fifth year of the cycle (a Fifth-Year Interim Report). SACS may also ask a college to submit a monitoring report or a follow-up report related to a specific SACS requirement during the cycle. Continuing accreditation at the end of the 10 year cycle involves the college submission of a Compliance Certification Report and the college hosting of a SACS Visiting Team. Based upon the results of the review/visit, the Commission on Colleges may reaffirm the accreditation of the college for another 10 year period. At the annual meeting of the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools in Atlanta, Georgia, December 7-10, 2013, the following reports were reviewed: • Ashland Community and Technical College - Fifth-Year Interim Report. • Big Sandy Community and Technical College - Fifth-Year Interim Report. • Hazard Community and Technical College – First Monitoring Report. • West Kentucky Community and Technical College - Fifth-Year Interim Report. 2014 President’s Leadership Seminar The 2014 President's Leadership Seminar (PLS) Class has now completed three meetings in 2014, with each session providing a unique opportunity to learn about effective leadership practices and our legislative processes. The class met with Governor Patton, legislative leaders, KCTCS leaders, and community college leaders from across the nation to interact with them regarding leadership competencies and higher education trends. In April the PLS will attend the American Association of Community Colleges Annual Convention in Washington, D.C. This will provide another opportunity to learn about national trends in community colleges and engage in discussion of the complex issues facing higher education. In addition, the class will also meet with the legislative leaders from Kentucky to gain a national perspective on issues of interest.

4

The PLS is one of the premier leadership development programs for current and future community college leaders. The program will make a significant difference in the careers of the participants. These leaders will now be part of a network throughout KCTCS with a new perspective on the contributions they can make to the continuing success of KCTCS and their professional development and career plans. KCTCS Learn on Demand Leading Discussion on Competency-Based Education (CBE) Kentucky Community and Technical College System’s Executive Director of Learn on Demand and the Special Assistant to the Chancellor were panelists on the national #CBEdegrees Twitter Chat on February 4, 2014. The topic of discussion was Competency-Based Education. The participants recently responded to the U.S. Department of Education's call for options for waiving federal student aid policies governing grants and loans that inhibit alternative learning models. They answered questions about competency-based education and the concept paper submitted to the Department of Education. Professional Development Listening Tour The KCTCS Office of Professional Development and Innovation conducted a Professional Development Listening Tour with all 16 colleges to identify issues and specific “pain” that affects faculty and staff across the system that identified areas of need that can be addressed with a new professional development program. The tours were well received and successful and were followed up by a systemwide survey completed by 1,100 KCTCS employees. The leading professional development requests are Leadership Development and the need for enterprise-wide professional development offerings along with specific topics, such as PeopleSoft, Excel, Conflict Resolution, Student Services, Teaching and Learning, and other content areas. KCTCS New Horizons Conference The KCTCS Office for Professional Development and Innovation, in close collaboration with the KCTCS Professional Development Peer Team, has identified a professional development program specifically focused on Transfer, Financial Aid, Student Success, and Learn on Demand. This program provides specific training and development opportunities for faculty and staff to address system needs as identified through the President’s Momentum Initiative.

INCREASE STUDENT ACCESS, TRANSFER AND SUCCESS Performance Measures:

• Developmental Education Success Rate • Participation Rate • Credentials • Persistence Rate • Transfer

15 to Finish Promotional Campaign President McCall joined Lt. Governor Jerry Abramson, CPE President Bob King, and several students on January 8th to launch this campaign patterned on a successful Hawaii program that is designed to

encourage Kentucky college students to complete 15 credits per semester in order to graduate within four years. CPE and the public postsecondary education institutions are all participating in the campaign which involves: • Developing a local college marketing toolkit. • Creating a 15 to Finish microsite. • Conducting a statewide press event with Governor to formally launch the initiative. • Encouraging the Governor to include in his 2014 agenda. • Executing a statewide media campaign. • Developing local college and statewide marketing and public relations plans. • Partnering with K-12 and other educational affiliates to promote the program. Transfer Madness – March 5, 2014 KCTCS and CPE partnered with the Kentucky Department of Education and the Kentucky Higher Education Assistance Authority again this year to sponsor an online transfer fair for KCTCS students on March 5, 2014. The goal of the event was to provide a convenient, easy-to-access transfer fair in order to increase the number of successful transfer students in the state. The event utilized the CollegeWeekLive platform to allow prospective transfer students to visit virtual four-year college admissions booths, watch videos, and chat with admission and transfer personnel. More than 30 of the state's public and private four-year institutions were on hand to answer questions and assist students with the transfer process. Transfer Agreements In the last quarter, KCTCS completed a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with Bluefield College (BC) in Bluefield, Virginia. This agreement is for the Bachelors of Science (BS) in Nursing program and requires 40 hours to be completed at BC. In addition, KCTCS has completed an MOA with Southern Illinois University (SIU) in Carbondale, IL. This agreement guarantees KCTCS Associate of Applied Science in Automotive Technology students to transfer a minimum of 60 credit hours to SIU and complete the BS in Automotive Technology with an additional 60 credit hours at SIU. Transition Programs Annual Comparisons Ready to Work (RTW) served 1,265 Kentucky Transitional Assistance Program (K-TAP) clients in fall 2013, a 6 percent increase over the 1,195 students served in the previous fall. The reported number of Department for Community Based Services (DCBS) RTW referrals increased 2 percent in the same period (from 1,132 referrals in fall 2012 to 1,151 in fall 2013). Moreover, the number of RTW funded work-study students increased 12 percent from 992 in fall 2012 to 1,107 in fall 2013. In fall 2013 the KCTCS systemwide within-semester retention rate (the number of students registering for class, attending class, and completing the semester) for RTW students was 93 percent, which exceeded the systemwide average college within-semester retention rate of 91 percent. However, the spring 2013 to fall 2013 retention rate was more significantly impacted with a RTW student retention rate of 72 percent. This is 12 percent higher than the systemwide retention rate of 60 percent for that same period. The fall 2012 to fall 2013 RTW systemwide retention rate was also 13 percent higher for RTW students: 62 percent for RTW students and 49 percent systemwide. This meets the contractual outcome expectation that RTW student retention rates will meet or exceed the KCTCS systemwide average. Transitions Programs Grade Point Averages Positively affecting student academic performance while ensuring students are meeting their Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) work participation expectations remains a

6

challenge. Still, the systemwide RTW grade point average (GPA) of 2.56 was competitive with the systemwide institutional GPA of 2.66; 54 percent of the RTW students had GPAs that exceeded their institutional GPA. The System RTW Coordinator continues to work with the colleges to identify strategies to support and improve student academic performance. Work and Learn Student Breakdown Between July 1, 2013, and December 31, 2013, the Work and Learn Program served 399 Kentucky Transitional Assistance Program (K-TAP) participants. Of the 399 students served, 22 percent (86 students) were in the College Transition category; 78 percent (313 students) were in the lower functioning College Preparatory category. It appears that 284 of the students served lacked a high school credential/General Educational Development (GED). Of those without the credential, 53 percent (149 students) earned a GED. This included 116 (49 percent) of the lower functioning College Preparatory students and 33 (72 percent) of the College Transition students. It is worth noting that 74 of the lower functioning College Preparatory students (Tests of Adult Basic Education (TABE) scores below 9th grade) entered with a high school credential. KCTCS Online Learn on Demand On January 28, 2014, WFPL News (Louisville) published an article reporting that KCTCS Online Learn on Demand has been named a component of the Commonwealth College. Working adults in Kentucky could soon have another option for completing their college degrees. That option is called the Commonwealth College, which would be an online program that would allow students to complete work at their own pace. The Governor included more than $3 million ($2 million for each year of the biennium budget for operations and $1.2 million to get the web portal up and running) to help launch the Commonwealth College. It’s modeled after KCTCS Online Learn on Demand. Students could enroll at any time, pay comparable public university costs (those have not yet been determined), and take online learning sections to earn their college degree - all from home. Students will be encouraged to take lower level general education courses through KCTCS Learn on Demand. Regional Institutes for Student Services During February 2014 institutes on PeopleSoft End User Support were coordinated and collaboratively offered by the Office for Professional Development and Innovation and the Student Services Office. The institutes were offered at three locations: Elizabethtown Community and Technical College on February 7, Hazard Community and Technical College on February 10, and Hopkinsville Community College on February 14. The session at Elizabethtown was recorded for future on demand use. Approximately 102 participants attended these institutes. Enterprise Licenses KCTCS has purchased enterprise licenses for Blackboard Client Relation Management (BbCRM) Parature, Intelliworks, and Starfish Collaborate. This will allow each college access to as many seats necessary to ensure efficient and seamless services to students.

In preparation for Phase II roll out and Tier II training, Admissions, Records, and Registration (ARR) staff will work with each college to set-up access and provide opportunities for new users. • BbCRM (Parature) is a web-based ticketing system to monitor, manage, respond to, analyze, and report on student

and staff interactions.

7

• Intelliworks is an all-in-one solution for contact management, email marketing, event management, and campaign reporting. College recruiters and student services staff were trained on the Blackboard Client Relation Management (CRM) tool on February 12-13.

• Starfish Collaborate is a tool within the Starfish technology for web conferencing and mobile collaboration to create effective faculty and student virtual interactions.

The Financial Aid Tracker The Financial Aid Tracker (FA Tracker) went live February 1, 2014. The FA Tracker is a visual representation of where a student is in the Financial Aid process and identifies any barriers preventing a student from advancing through the process. The FA Tracker has five distinct phases: • Apply for financial aid. • Complete to-do list items. • Review eligibility and award. • Review and act on award. • Disburse funds.

The FA Tracker is able to determine within which area the student falls with appropriate real-time information and/or next steps. This new self-service option is available 24/7/365 and offers students even more flexibility to access their own information. Go KCTCS! Student Service Center – Phase II Regional College Regional training for Admissions Tracker and PeopleSoft Training for Admissions, Records, and Registration were completed at Elizabethtown Community and Technical College on February 7, 2014; at Hazard Community and Technical College on February 10, 2014; and at Hopkinsville Community College on February 14, 2014. This training prepared end users how to address functions in PeopleSoft that will impact Student Services (Admissions Tracker and End User PeopleSoft Training for Preparation of Admissions, Records, and Registration—ARR—Go Live). All projects are tentatively scheduled to go-live by the end of the academic year. Go KCTCS! Student Service Center – Spring Rush As of February 1, 2014, the Go KCTCS! Student Service Center has responded to 381,548 calls and 18,630 chats. Of these communications, 13 percent (44,288) were escalated to the colleges. These metrics are within the contract service level agreement (SLA) goals. Students have been largely positive about their experience with the Go KCTCS! Student Service Center. Of the 36,685 Net Promoter survey responses received, 86 percent of the students expressed satisfaction. A survey Net Promoter score of 60 and above is equivalent with Apple and Amazon organizations, which have a reputation for excellent customer service.

Strategic Enrollment Planning KCTCS continues initial efforts to develop a systemwide strategic enrollment management plan (SEM). The SEM core planning team, comprised of representatives from the functional areas of Student Affairs, Research and Policy Analysis, Public Relations and Marketing, and Cultural Diversity conducted a facilitated “discovery” meeting on January 24, 2014, with KCTCS office staff representing Academic Affairs, Business Services, Learn on Demand, Marketing and Public Relations,

8

Student Accounts, Registrar’s Office, Institutional Research, and Cultural Diversity. The intent of this meeting was to map current enrollment management programs, strategies, proposals, research findings, etc. The resulting resource maps will help define and characterize the current state, which is instrumental in helping KCTCS define enrollment goals and objectives.

CULTIVATE DIVERSITY, MULTICULTURALISM, AND INCLUSION

Performance Measures: • Student Diversity Index • Employee Diversity • Persistence Rate Diversity

Super Sunday Event – February 23, 2104 KCTCS partnered with area churches to host the fourth annual Super Sunday event on February 23, 2014. In partnership with African-American and Latino churches across the Commonwealth, all 16 KCTCS colleges and the System Office collaborated with 52 churches to host college fairs to provide information and resources about college admission and financial aid. The effort was supported by over 600 volunteers and resulted in reaching nearly 1,300 prospective students. The goal of Super Sunday is to increase the state's college-going rate by providing direct support to the target audiences. The effort appears to be working. KCTCS data reported for fall 2011 and 2012 indicate minority student enrollment is consistently trending up, while overall enrollment is down slightly. On February 6, 2014, at the Super Sunday press event, Kentucky Governor Steve Beshear proclaimed February 23, 2014, as "Super Sunday Day" in Kentucky. The press event held in the Capitol Rotunda included remarks from KCTCS Board of Regents Chair P.G. Peeples and President Michael B. McCall. Marketing efforts for the fourth annual event also included the following: • Advertising

o Radio spots featuring Super Sunday aired as part of the KCTCS college sports awareness campaign.

o On-site activities during featured college basketball games that included the distribution of cheer cards, t-shirts, and PA announcements featuring Super Sunday.

o Targeted advertising with the Key News Journal, Mogul, American Baptist. o Full page ad in the Courier-Journal and Herald-Leader featuring the Hall of Fame Alumni.

• Social Media o Facebook Super Sunday event pages. o Facebook contests featuring Black History Month quizzes. o Twitter campaign.

• Public Relations o Super Sunday announcement in conjunction with college Martin Luther King news releases. o Op-ed featuring student success/attainment – week of 1/27.

Annual Diversity Plan Assessment With guidance from the Kentucky Council Postsecondary Education (CPE) staff, KCTCS Office of Cultural Diversity, and KCTCS Office of Research and Policy Analysis, the colleges finalized the first annual plan assessment and reporting processes. All colleges submitted their assessment reports to the System Office of Cultural Diversity for review and feedback in November. The System response to CPE submitted in February 2014 includes reports from each college and a System overview, that includes a summary of systemwide programs and actions taken by the KCTCS Office. The CPE Committee on Equal Opportunities will review and discuss the KCTCS assessment report at the March 24, 2014, meeting. The Kentucky Public Postsecondary Education Diversity Policy and Framework for Institution Diversity Plan Development calls for each institution to: • Develop and implement a diversity plan. • Complete an annual self-assessment of performance and progress in implementing the diversity plan. • Report on the campus environment and the Campus Environment Team (CET).

The CPE adopted the policy and framework in September 2011. The KCTCS Board of Regents endorsed Beyond the Numbers: KCTCS 2011-16 Diversity Action Plan for Inclusion, Engagement, and Equity in September 2011 as the KCTCS diversity plan. An electronic copy of KCTCS Beyond the Numbers: KCTCS Diversity Action Plan for Inclusion, Engagement and Equity can be found at the following link: http://www.kctcs.edu/en/About_KCTCS/System_Administration/~/media/System_Office/About/Diversity/KCTCS%20Diversity%20Plan.ashx Addressing Student Achievement Gaps The CPE Annual Degree Program Eligibility Assessment process was suspended for 2014. As such, each institution will maintain its 2013 new degree program eligibility status through December 31, 2014. The moratorium provides Kentucky public higher education more time to clarify and apply new

definitions established by the federal government regarding the classification of college and university faculty and staff under the Integrated Postsecondary Data System (IPEDS). The following link provides the status of each KCTCS college as presented to the KCTCS Board of Regents in December 2013: http://legacy.kctcs.edu/organization/board/meetings/201312/04_Academic/I07_UPDATE%20Degree%20Eligibility%202013%20DEC.pdf. Academic and diversity leaders from all institutions have also determined that the moratorium presents higher educational institutions an opportunity to: • Improve our understanding about the achievement gaps that exist between students from diverse

backgrounds and other students. • Refine institutional action, as needed, to close the observed disparities in student retention and completion. To initiate these efforts within KCTCS, System Office personnel from Student Services, Institutional Research, and Academic Affairs will collect and analyze disaggregated datasets. As the data becomes available in the next few weeks, the Diversity Peer Team will be engaged in facilitated dialogue to discuss and clarify the data and begin to refine institutional actions. Achieving the Dream National Reform Network West Kentucky Community and Technical College (WKCTC) is one of 12 community colleges across the nation chosen to join the Achieving the Dream National Reform Network in 2014. Achieving the Dream: Community Colleges Count is a national nonprofit organization focused on helping colleges improve student success, particularly students of color and low-income students. WKCTC joins Jefferson Community and Technical College as the only Kentucky colleges to be selected to the network. The full list as well as more about the Achieving the Dream National Reform Network can be found at achievingthedream.org.

ENHANCE THE ECONOMIC AND WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT OF THE COMMONWEALTH

Performance Measures • High Wage/High Demand Completions • Workforce Conversion Rate • Wage Index

WorkSmart Kentucky Partnership – Press Conference January 27, 2014 President McCall joined Governor Beshear and other Commonwealth of Kentucky officials at the Capitol Rotunda on January 27, 2014, to announce this initiative. WorkSmart Kentucky is a partnership initiative of workforce professionals from Kentucky’s Cabinet for Economic Development, Education and Workforce Development Cabinet, Labor Cabinet, and KCTCS that is dedicated to finding and training highly skilled workers to meet the demands of today’s highly competitive

employers. The initiative will provide employers efficient, quality, and seamless workforce services and resources, all in one place. Through a team of business service specialists, WorkSmart Kentucky partners with new and existing companies to match employer needs with available workforce resources. Qualifying companies within the Commonwealth will be eligible for recruitment and job screening services at no cost. In addition, flexible grant funding will be available to offset the costs of customized and in-house training needs, to establish apprenticeship programs, and to provide free safety and OSHA training. BuildSmart Kentucky Agency Bonds Proposal - Press Conference February 3, 2014 President McCall and the 16 college presidents joined Governor Beshear on February 3, 2014, to support the Governor’s historic budget proposal KCTCS BuildSmart Investment for Kentucky Competitiveness. The BuildSmart initiative is a public-private partnership and investment initiative that will provide a total of $194 million in funding for the top capital project at each of the 16 KCTCS colleges. This program builds on the WorkSmart Kentucky initiative introduced by the Governor to provide a highly skilled workforce for state employers. This historic, aggressive and visionary budget proposal for KCTCS is about: • building a skilled, educated workforce to ensure Kentucky’s competitiveness in in a global economy. • building people’s lives and careers that enable them to sustain their families. • building public/private partnerships with local and regional business and industry leaders, civic and governmental

leaders, and engaged citizens. • building an unique opportunity to stimulate significant philanthropic support from individuals, corporations,

organizations, and foundations. • building the capacity of KCTCS to accomplish its mission and mandates outlined in the 1997 Kentucky Postsecondary

Education Improvement Act…to enhance the employability and quality of life of Kentuckians.

The benefits of the KCTCS BuildSmart Investment are significant for students, communities, and the Commonwealth. KCTCS students across Kentucky will benefit from having additional state-of-the art facilities that will further enhance their individual educational experiences and that of their fellow students. And local communities and the Commonwealth of Kentucky will benefit from the enhanced economic and workforce development that will result from these new and renovated facilities throughout the Commonwealth. The KCTCS BuildSmart Investment addresses the substantial unmet need for new construction and renovation projects at all 16 KCTCS colleges. The last state general fund bond authorized by the General Assembly was in 2008 for one KCTCS capital project – additional funding for a project at Bluegrass Community and Technical College. Given the current situation with the State General Fund, the historic model of state-funded bond projects cannot address the unmet capital needs at our colleges in a manner that enables them to respond to the needs of their respective communities and regions.

Kentucky Department of Insurance Since May 2001 the Kentucky Community and Technical College System through its partnership with the Kentucky Department of Insurance (DOI) has administered 53,559 insurance licensure assessments. Of that amount, 1,524 insurance licensure assessments were administered November 2013 - January 2014. Kentucky Workforce Investment Network Systems (KY WINS) To date, KY WINS has funded 1,520 projects; 1,389 are completed and 131 remain active. The average wage for trainees is $23.88; and 234,311 participants are projected to be served through training and assessment. Accelerating Opportunity Initiative Data from the first two years of Accelerating Opportunity Kentucky (AOKY) (January 2012—December 2013) demonstrate that the initiative is helping low-skilled students succeed. Below is a summary of the year two data: • 30 programs at 11 colleges. • 1,077 students enrolled. • 39 students earned their GED while enrolled in AOKY. • 857 credentials were earned by AOKY students (some students earned more than one credential).

13

• 144 licenses/industry recognized credentials were earned by AOKY students. • 196 credentials were earned by former AOKY students. • 11 students (who started spring 2012) earned their associate’s degrees fall 2013.

Additionally, data for students enrolled in the eight Phase I colleges were compared to first-time students who were enrolled in the same programs between the spring 2012 and summer 2013 semesters. In those five semesters, 457 out of 750 students (61 percent) who had enrolled in AOKY earned a KCTCS credential, compared to 633 out of 7,102 (9 percent) of first-time students enrolled in the same programs. Collectively, the 457 AOKY students earned 513 credentials and 144 industry certificates, while the 633 students in the comparison group earned 1,102 credentials and 213 industry certificates. The significant difference in the percentage of students in the AOKY program who earned a credential compared to the number of first-time students who earned a credential demonstrates that the team teaching approach and contextualization of basic skills along with the wrap around services are successful strategies for low-skilled students to earn credentials. The State Executive Team gave a Year 2 initiative update, which includes the data outlined above, to the following: • KCTCS Presidents Leadership Team – November 20, 2013. • Local Workforce Investment Board Directors – January 17, 2014. • Kentucky Adult Education Directors - February 7, 2014.

The update concluded with making the case to “invest in the student” as AOKY: • Helps low-skilled students become college and career ready. • Brings students to the college who may not otherwise have enrolled. • Helps low-skilled students earn market-bearing credentials quicker. • Provides a clear pathway to a career that includes a short-term credential that allows the student to

become employed upon completing AO and allows them to pursue additional credentials. • Drives economic growth by aligning training and education to industry needs that lead to family

sustaining wages in high demand fields. The remaining five Phase II colleges (Ashland Community and Technical College, Big Sandy Community and Technical College, Henderson Community College, Hopkinsville Community College, and Southcentral Kentucky Community and Technical College) began their AOKY programs this spring semester. Workforce Solutions Salesforce Customer Relationship Management Implementation The Workforce Solutions Salesforce Project Planning Team is continuing to finalize software customizations that will support the first phase roll out of Salesforce in March 2014. The roll out of the cloud-based customer relationship management (CRM) product will involve the Workforce Solutions departments at all KCTCS colleges. The new CRM tool will be implemented in a phased approach, with account, contact, and lead management being the first implemented functionalities. All Workforce Solutions departments have designated five end users to participate in the roll out of Salesforce. Initial functionality and training will support a common, collaborative platform for capturing account, or company data and contact, or individual person/employee data. Additionally, Salesforce will provide a qualifying process to capture lead, prospective company, and/or person data to separate prospects from active accounts and contacts.

14

Leading up to the March go-live date, college power users will complete both Salesforce online training modules and System Office delivered webinar training. Each college has designated one Salesforce power user who will be engaged in early training sessions and remain as a product resource for their team. Building a knowledge base of Salesforce power users will support a train-the-trainer approach for onboarding additional software users within their respective college Workforce Solutions departments. Additional role-based training and support for the college Workforce Solutions teams will be assessed and provided by the System Office Salesforce Project Leader. Subsequent product implementation phases will provide additional functionality that will expand on how to leverage the collective account and contact database to maximize process efficiency and the ability of Workforce Solutions departments to be responsive to constituent needs. Workforce Transitions and Lumina Adult Degree Completion The work on the Prior Learning Assessment Handbook continues. Revisions are currently being made to make the handbook more “student-friendly” while retaining all pertinent policy information. Once those revisions are complete, efforts will focus on putting it into a final format. Additional reviews are planned, including one by the Academic Council. The Workforce Transitions Project Manager and Director of Workforce Solutions are working with the Office of Research and Policy Analysis to draft a summary analysis of the 2009-10 cohort (matriculated by 2013) to determine trends and targets for future cohorts and their recruitment into academic programs. Fire Schools and Military Training The following schools took place during December 2013 and January-February 2014: • 12th Annual Kentucky Fire and EMS Instructor Weekend – November 15-17, 2013, Somerset Community College

Laurel Campus in London. Provided instructor methodology and train-the-trainer classes to 101 students. • Area 4 Fire School – Western Kentucky University Glasgow Campus, November 22-24, 2013. One hundred students

attended. • Meade County Job Fair – January 18, 2014, Meade County Library. A display was set up to promote the AAS in Fire

Science Technology program and State Fire Rescue Training. • Meade County College Fair – February 8, 2014, Meade County Library. A display was set up to promote the AAS in

Fire Science Technology program and State Fire Rescue Training. • National Responder Preparedness Center Houses New Training Props. State Fire Rescue Training took delivery of a

new helicopter burn simulator and car fire simulator in February 2014. Both are housed at the Fire Commission’s National Responder Preparedness Center on the campus of the Wendell H. Ford Regional Training Center in Greenville to enhance State Fire Rescue Training’s military and industrial training programs.

• Fire Commission, State Fire Rescue Training, and Owensboro Community and Technical College (OCTC) Partner to Create Paramedic Skills Lab. The Fire Commission and State Fire Rescue Training over the past few months provided equipment to create a state-of-the-art Paramedic Skills Lab at OCTC. The equipment included high fidelity simulator manikins, cardiac monitors, IV arms, intubation trainers, and respiratory/ventilator support devices.

He completed the Mississippi Community College Leadership Academy and the Education Policy Fellowship Program through the Stennis Institute of Government at Mississippi State University. 2014 Michael Bennett Lifetime Achievement Award President McCall has been selected to receive the prestigious Phi Theta Kappa “Michael Bennett Lifetime Achievement Award.” Retiring college presidents, campus chief executive officers, and state community college directors nominated by their Phi Theta Kappa chapter are selected for this award based on outstanding support provided to Phi Theta Kappa over many years. The award will be given April 24-25, 2014, at the Phi Theta Kappa 96th Annual Convention at the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Resort in Orlando, Florida. American Association of Women in Community Colleges Annual Conference – February 20, 2014 The Kentucky Chapter of the American Association of Women in Community Colleges invited President McCall to provide the “welcome” at their annual conference held in Louisville. Keeping with the theme of the conference, President McCall provided encouragement and emphasized the importance of professional development and networking. Enterprise Content Management (ECM) As a part of the ECM initiative, KCTCS is moving to implement a paperless workflow process to request and approve select human resources actions. This workflow process has been piloted at Ashland, Owensboro, Somerset, West Kentucky, and the System Office. Human Resources staff have worked together to create a uniform automated workflow process for position requests. Part of this work included creating a new questionnaire reflective of best practices and college/system needs. The work was based on the Job Analysis Questionnaire (JAQ) and Position Descriptions currently in use for position requests, under the guidance of KCTCS ECM partners (VeBridge). Gathering this information through this process will allow for better data collection, easier transitions to job postings, and easier and faster entry in PeopleSoft. With the pilot colleges implemented, this now will be implemented throughout KCTCS using a phased approach, to be completed in April 2014.

State Fire Rescue Training Mobile Command Post State Fire Rescue Training provided the mobile command post to support operations at a fire scene in Muhlenberg County following a fire that claimed the lives of nine family members. KCTCS 2010-16 Performance Measures Updated information is available for three performance measures adopted as part of the KCTCS 2010-16 Strategic Plan [for detailed information see attached table]: Goal: Increase Student Access, Transfer, and Success • Developmental Education Success Rate: To measure success in developmental education,

KCTCS establishes cohorts of first-time, credential-seeking students whose placement test scores indicate developmental needs in English, math, or reading. These cohorts are tracked for two years; students who successfully complete a developmental course in the appropriate subject or re-test at a college level are counted toward the success rate. o English: Between fall 2012 and fall 2013, the success rate for developmental English students

increased from 58.2 percent to 60.8 percent. The target for fall 2015 is 77.7 percent. o Math: Between fall 2012 and fall 2013, the success rate for developmental math students

declined from 53.0 percent to 49.0 percent. The target for fall 2015 is 69.2 percent. o Reading: Between fall 2012 and fall 2013, the success rate for developmental reading students

increased from 60.8 percent to 63.7 percent. The target for fall 2015 is 78.9 percent. • Persistence Rate: The persistence rate measure calculates the percentage of first-time, credential-

seeking students who earn a credential, transfer to a four-year institution, or are still enrolled after three years. Between fall 2011 and fall 2012, the persistence rate decreased from 48.5 percent to 46.1 percent. The target for fall 2015 is 54.3 percent.

• Transfer: The transfer metric, counts the annual number of students who enter a public, independent or proprietary institution in Kentucky as a first-time transfer student, and the number of students other than first-time transfer students who transfer KCTCS credit into any public, independent or proprietary four-year institution, such as visiting, dual credit, or workforce students. Between 2010-11 and 2011-12, the number of transfers increased from 10,410 to 12,330. The 2011-12 total exceeds the target established for 2015-16 (9,580 transfers).

Goal: Cultivate Diversity, Multiculturalism, and Inclusion • Diversity Persistence Rate: The diversity persistence rate measure calculates the percentage of

first-time, credential-seeking minority students who earn a credential, transfer to a four-year institution, or are still enrolled after three years. Between fall 2011 and fall 2012, the diversity persistence rate decreased from 41.9 percent to 37.1 percent. The target for fall 2015 is 54.3 percent.

• Employee Diversity: The employee diversity performance measure indexes minority representation among KCTCS employees to the proportion of minorities in the state’s population. Between fall 2011 and fall 2012, the employee diversity index decreased from 59.2 percent to 58.5 percent. The performance target established for fall 2015 is 100.0 percent.
