Dear Faculty and Staff:
We look forward to a busy and challenging year as we move
forward with our Southern Association of Colleges and Schools - Commission on
Colleges (SACS-COC) Reaffirmation of Accreditation efforts. This is a two
pronged effort as it was ten years ago.
We have chosen Amanda Kin to lead the Quality
Enhancement Plan (QEP) and she is
actively working with a committee to develop this plan. If you are not already
working with this plan, do not despair as you are likely to be called for either
this plan or to work with Barbara Goss
on the second prong, the Compliance Section.
I can assure you that there will be plenty of work to go around. You may
contact either of these individuals or our Dean
of Instruction, Danielle Coburn
to offer your assistance.
While the SACS-COC Reaffirmation will be the focal point of
this year’s efforts, there are other changes taking place. The Pell City and
Clanton sites continue to make progress. Pell City under the direction of Jim Blackburn now offers three degree
programs:
1.
Applied Science Degree Program in Nursing
2.
Applied Science Degree Program in Manufacturing
3.
Associate in Science and Associate in Arts
Transfer Program
1.
Applied Science Degree Program in Nursing
2.
Associate in Science and Associate in Arts
Transfer Program
This meets the requirement that a campus location must offer
at least two degree programs. Now, all we need is a good enrollment.
Communication will be extremely important as we move
forward. There will be focused meetings throughout the year as we continue our
reaffirmation efforts.
We look forward to another successful year for the
institution and we feel blessed to have the staff that can assure that.
Sincerely,
Joe Morris
