Initiative Title	Increase student support
Submitted in Previous Year(s)	No
Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale	Overview: There are several student-centered / learner-centered ideas that have been generated at the departmental level for increasing support for students. Some need resources and some do not. Brought over from departmental plans: Showcasing student work: Art Gallery needs funding for supplies and maintenance to support student activities. For the past few years, the Foundation has supported, by providing resources, for students to travel to conferences to present their work. Honors student comprise the bulk of students who have benefited from these resources. Presenting their work has been an immensely valuable learning experience for our students and is one that should continue each year. Having a consistent and predictable source of support is important. No cost - Coordination and implementation time needed: The Criminal Justice Program still requires students to take 1 credit in Phys Ed. We have discussed with the Chair of the Movement Science Program the potential of developing a class dedicated to the Physical Requirements of potential law enforcement candidates. We believe that this project will improve the physical abilities and overall health of our students while enhancing their chances of success on this police entry level requirement. Coordination and implementation time: We have had success with some of our CRJ 101 students attending the English lab for an information seminar which includes a library session. Anne Sandor and Andrew Heinz have conducted these sessions and they have provided our students with support materials for easy reference. This semester I have noticed significant improvement in the student papers and I would like to expand this program to all of our CRJ 101 students. This may require additional resources for the English Lab and/or the library as we offer CRJ 101 in Days and evenings 4 times per week at both Newburgh and Middletown ESL Pathway - Non-native English speakers are an increasing demographic in Orange County, and as such, constitute a cohort that may seek college entry. The current ESL Bridge program serves to provide a foundation for language acquisition, but at the conclusion of level 5, for those students who wish to earn a degree, a pathway into credit-bearing courses needs to be clearly established. Without analysis of student success/completion of this offering in conjunction with data regarding their success in ENG 102, it will not be advisable to continue this pilot. Learning Community increase has costs associated with it; Research indicates that Learning Communities connected to programs and credit-bearing courses increase the retention and success of students placed in developmental courses College-wide implementation of student portfolios - there is a cost associated with it. If a user-friendly, cost-effective portfolio system is implemented, all relevant student assignments would be readily available for assessment reporting in these three areas and would eliminate some of the duplicated effort that exists in our current method and evaluation of assessments. Global Intiative is the only theme-based activity that the College carries out on a regular basis. Having a theme around which activities can be built each year is valuable and could help with cohort development. It is possible to alternate a traditional Global Initiative one year and a different theme the following year, perhaps a theme that focuses on a program learning outcome from the Liberal Arts - Humanities and Social Sciences degree program. SUNY Orange's Global Initiative is a college-wide interdisciplinary focus on a topic of global importance. Global Initiative seeks to expand students' horizons, bring academic departments together in collaboration and infuse a global perspective on its curriculum.
Consequences of this initiative not being funded	Gallery cannot function without funding. Loss of this student population Students, Staff, Faculty and Community members would lose a vital enrichment opportunity to consider and explore critical international social, political, and economic issues and events.
