Streamlined Naming Conventions and Mission

Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale

The Middletown Tutorial Center and Newburgh Learning Center are at a pivotal moment of growth.  In order to enhance the experience of students seeking support services, both centers aim to promote consistency and formalize expectations.  The proposed student-facing name change includes Middletown Tutorial Center to Middletown Learning Center (and all internal naming that would follow including budget lines, etc.).  Internally, but while also thinking broadly in terms of projecting a sense of consistency across services, proposed changes include changing the front desk staff positions to mirror the campuses (Typist vs. Senior Clerk, Evening Tutorial Assistant vs. Resource Coordinator).  

A key component to this goal is to additionally create a mission statement to determine, align, and clarify the shared direction of both centers as we develop services to address student support needs holistically, create a foundation for program decision making, and unify the experience across campuses.

Consequences of this initiative not being funded

Currently these inconsistencies across the centers directly contribute to overall confusion as to our services, who we are, and how we're connected.  Without addressing the need to unify the student experience across campuses, there will be a continued sense of rupture between Newburgh and Middletown.  

Department GoalsIdentify and reduce barriers to student support services; prioritize the improvement and ease of support access., Engage a holistic approach to student learning and success; expand support services to address the gap of college readiness for First Year students., Increase outreach and awareness of student academic support services.
