COLLEGE PRESIDENT’S REPORT
Dr. Bambara, interim college president reported on several items for the Board:
· The presidential search process is complete and on March 1, 2011, Dr. John Capps will be here to lead CVCC. A special thank you to the Foundation Board members who took the time to participate in the process by attending the community reception and open forums for our four candidates.
- Annualized student enrollment for FY10 was 2,915 FTEs, an increase of 9.9% over the previous year. The College has seen an increase over a three-year period of more than 25%. In the summer of 2010, growth began to slow when the College experienced a 3.58% increase. This past fall the College saw a 2% increase and served a record 5,500 students. This spring the College is trending slightly ahead of last year with about a 2% increase. The Off-Campus Centers enrollments have remained steady with just over 700 students this spring. The College is serving 1,050 students in online courses. New programs such as culinary arts, Campbell County Early College, expansion of machine industry and welding programs, and the development of the nuclear quality control program contribute to steady growth in enrollment across the College.
- While student numbers have increased by more than 25%, over the past few years, the state allocation for CVCC has dropped over $1.5 million. Increases in tuition have helped, but do not make up the total difference.
- As you are aware, the Virginia Community College State Board raised tuition for Fall 2010 by 9% with 2% of that increase paid by stimulus money, and tuition will increase at least that much again in 2011 and 2012.
- This past October, all VCCS colleges were asked to submit a 2%, 4% and 6% scenario for potential budget cuts. CVCC was able to submit a proposal without impact to our valued human resources. The College continues to hold vacant 10 positions.
- CVCC’s follow-up to its fifth year SACS report was submitted in September and that no further follow-up is required by CVCC. In April, CVCC will have one remaining follow-up to our substantive report for three of its Centers (Altavista, Bedford and Appomattox). CVCC’s next SACS project is the Reaffirmation of Accreditation due in 2014.
Dr. Bambara thanked the Board for all its support. The board thanked Dr. Bambara for her outstanding job during CVCC’s presidential transition.
