Initiative Title	FT Assistant Director of Student Activities
Submitted in Previous Year(s)	2007-2008
Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale	The Student Activities Office has continued to work dilligently to provide innovative, high quality co-curricular experiences for our students, always focussed on the goals of leadership development and student satisfaction and retention. The growth of New Sudent Orientation, a large increase in the number of student clubs and participation, the development of Student Life Day, the growth of the Lyceum program and many other innovations have taken place despite the Office of Student Activities having only one professional staff member. The office did, at one time, have two Assistant Directors, but those positions were lost to budget cuts some time ago. Students flow into the activities office on a daily basis with ideas for new projects and programs to pursue and we are currently unable to properly support and assist all of them due to the lack of professional staff. There has also been an increased demand on the Student Activities Office from other departments on campus. These requests range from assistance with programs and events to development of promotions materials and advertising. Student Activities simply cannot keep up with the current demands at its present staffing level.
Consequences of this initiative not being funded	Simply put, a failure to address the staffing shortage in Student Activities will result in a halt to new, innovative program development, including a number of desired initiatives such as an active Leadership Training program, community service outreach and the ongoing growth of New Student Orientation. The needs of our students and the greater campus community will not be met to the level they should be. This will have a negative impact on student satisfaction and, ultimately, retention.

Prioritization Notes

Level 4

Level 4 (PBIE Committee)

The Student Activities office plays a significant role in student retention and persistence on campus. Planning, developing, coordinating and supervising activities, however, is severely hampered by having only one professional staff member. An expanded professional staff is needed to address increasing student enrollment, expanding the orientation program and serving the needs of the Newburgh campus. This office has contact with nearly all students in some manner and impacts comprehensively on the mission of the college. The role of an assistant is, therefore, imperative for student life to perform its current mission and any future assignments it might be tasked with.
