Initiative Title	Renovate former Cafeteria Serving Area
Submitted in Previous Year(s)	No
Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale	The former serving/kitchen area of the cafeteria is currently an unused space, while the remainder of the cafeteria has been converted into a student-friendly space including a game room, lounge space, program/performance area, meeting space and headquarters for Student Senate, BOA and student veterans. Aligning with space utilization and design of the student area in the Newburgh Campus Tower building basement, renovating the former serving/kitchen space in the Shepard Student Center would accomplish the following: -allow for the Center for Student Involvement to move to the lower level, focusing engagement efforts in the space where students are spending time -support the Guided Pathways goal of Ensuring Student Learning by creating a more comprehensive environment for applied learning experiences and inescapable student engagement -foster greater faculty involvement in co-curricular engagement by creating a space where faculty would also feel comfortable spending time and engaging students outside of the classroom -create a space that gives students a "one stop" location for co-curricular engagement including currently developing initiatives in community service and service learning (Community Vision Program) and diversity and inclusion (including current plans being developed by the CIDE, Student Senate and the Chief Diversity Officer).
Consequences of this initiative not being funded	Without funding, the space will continue to be under utilized and a valuable opportunity to improve student engagement and campus community will be lost.

Level 3 (Student Services, VP Office)

This initiative would take an unused space and, with modest renovations, create usable, student-appropriate space as articulated by The Dir of CSI (see notes).

Our Guided Pathways works reminds us of the importance of student engagement and interaction. This reno would

-create a more cohesive environment for applied learning experiences and inescapable student engagement.

-foster greater faculty involvement in co-curricular engagement by creating a space where faculty would also feel comfortable spending time and engaging students outside of the classroom

-create a space that gives students a "one stop" location for co-curricular engagement including currently developing initiatives in community service and service learning and diversity and inclusion.

Until such time as the Shepard Center can undergo a complete transformation (see Facilities Master Plan) the re-purposing of the Cafeteria space meets our more immediate needs.

Level 4 (PBIE Committee)

The committee rationalized that, though something with the cafeteria should be done, the proposal was not specific enough about what kind of renovations would be done or how the space was to be ultimately utilized. Furthermore, the student representative on the committee shared that there are some conflicting notions about the intent for the space in regards to the 5-year plan versus what was proposed. It seems as though another location on campus is being considered for student activities other than the cafeteria. The student representation felt our limited resources are more wisely invested in efforts that help the college to recruit, retain, and assist students complete their respective degree programs. The committee feels that there are details that should be ironed out first before moving forward with this initiative.
