Submitted in Previous Year(s)2011-2012
Critical Information, Notes, Justification, RationaleThe Business Department would like to emulate the Math Departments efforts on helping students outside of class. For this, we would need a room designated for this effort as well as staffing. Students sometimes need extra help with computer software, accounting principles, business math/statistics and other business coursework when faculty office hours are unavailable to them
Consequences of this initiative not being fundedLack of student success in accounting, business, and office coursework.

Prioritization Notes

Level 2 (Business Math Science and Technology, AVP Office)

Informal learning spaces are well-utilized in the BMST division. Providing one for Business students is a good idea. However, space is tight in Harriman Hall. To institute this good idea, current spaces would have to be reconfigured. For example, Break Room would have to be converted or HA 215 (an open lab) could be converted into an Informal Learning Space / Tutoring space / Open lab.
