| Consequences of this initiative not being funded | Although very little monetary assistance is needed for this conference, it is a great opportunity to bring community members to campus, which increases the visibility of our programs, and may increase enrollment. Not allowing this opportunity to occur may result in a missed opportunity for enrollment. |

| Goal |
How will the initiative support this institutional goal? |
- COLLEGE GOALS as of 2011
- 3. To establish public and private partnerships and provide programs and services that support and serve our county’s educational, economic, civic and cultural needs.

By working with the Orange County Child Care Council, we are attempting to design an experience for individuals training to be teachers, as well as for practicing teachers in the community to enhance their skills. |
- STRATEGIC PLAN 2015-2020
- PRIORITY I: Awareness and Access: We will raise the visibility of the College and communicate the value of a SUNY Orange education through enhanced outreach efforts and educational opportunities
- c: Expand the visibility of the College’s excellent programs and services through strategic marketing efforts.

When community members attend the conference on the Middletown campus, they are gaining exposure to our physical location and campus. Additionally, the Department sets up an informational table at the event, where prospective students can speak to EDU Dept. faculty about programming options and enrollment. |

- Programming
- Objective #5: Offer noncredit education and workforce development opportunities that support the needs of public and private organizations in the community.

This conference allows both SUNY Orange students and the community to attend a valuable Early Childhood conference that will enhance their classroom teaching. High quality, in-person conference opportunities are in high demand in the field of early childhood education. |
