Critical Information, Notes, Justification, RationaleThe Honors Program is now staffed by only one person: the coordinator. She has no help at all. In the recent program evaluation conducted by Dr. Joan Digby, her main concern was staffing. She recommends two part-time people, with the idea that this must grow as the program expands. In speaking with Dr. Richards, his vision of the program is to grow ten-fold over the next five years, which means a total of approximately 350 students. #1: part-time secretarial support: to handle daily things such as answering phones, record keeping, filing, copying, answering basic questions, etc. #2: part-time adminstrative support: to work on program initiatives, to serve as a student liason, to work: with students in advising; recruiting with Admissions; on helping with transfer options, etc. Dr. Digby's suggestion is this be a graduate of the program who has also completed a four year degree. These positions would begin as part-time (20 hours per week), but would need to increase in hours as the program grows
Consequences of this initiative not being fundedAt the present time, the growth suggested by the president is impossible to do without an infrastructure. One faculty member with some re-assigned time is not sufficient to the current needs. No-one is available to answer phones or field questions. The coordinator is the only person currently doing all recruiting, all program development, all advising, all filing, paperwork, etc. This involves late hours during the semester and working during the summer.
