Institutional Goals
| Goal |
How will the initiative support this institutional goal? |
- COLLEGE GOALS as of 2011
- 6. To build and maintain safe, accessible and sustainable facilities that support the learning environment.
|
We often see students who need a distraction free, quiet place to work with their tutor. By developing quiet study spaces within the Tutorial Center, we can better accommodate our students' with these needs. |
- STRATEGIC PLAN 2015-2020
- PRIORITY IV: Efficient and Effective Operations: We will anticipate and adapt to changing economic realities while maintaining the infrastructure and resources necessary to foster innovation and develop & deliver high quality programs and services.
- c: Review and revise allocation methods to ensure appropriate investment in people, services, facilities, & technologies.
|
With the optimization of current space, the Tutorial Center can further expand its offerings to reach more of the student body. |
- ACADEMIC MASTER PLAN 2016-2020
- The Student Experience
- Objective #3: Enhance academic support and services by effectively utilizing equipment, facilities, personnel, and technology to meet our students’ needs.
|
In order to increase the services provided by the Tutorial Center to as many student as possible, our current space needs to be optimized for the growth we are currently seeing. |
- ACADEMIC MASTER PLAN 2016-2020
- The Student Experience
- Objective #4: Ensure an environment of mutual respect by promoting a greater understanding of our students.
|
The Tutorial Center strives to meet the needs of every student in the best way possible. By optimizing our space more efficiently, we can better accommodate students' needs while enhancing our offerings. Also, given the lack of private offices, it is extremely difficult to have private conversations with tutors and students. This lack of privacy is both unprofessional and disrespectful for staff and students. |
