On the basis of on-going assessment and with the current infrastructure and resource difficulties, we reaffirm that most of our goals and initiatives still apply.  Many of our difficulties remain the same: decreasing retention, continuous facilities problems, not meeting the needs of students in Middletown and particularly Newburgh, monetary difficulties, etc.  We understand this goes well beyond the scope of the program: many of the issues are College-wide.  We still feel we have two realistic options: a) reduce the size of the program to fit what we currently have and refocus more appropriately, or b) again request the infrastructure and support needed to recruit, accommodate and retain larger numbers of students.  We seek assistance from Administration on what direction we should pursue.

We remain grateful to the Foundation for providing funds for classroom furniture and continuing to fund some scholarship and conference opportunities.  We are thankful to departments and the College in general for continuing to provide honors courses and some resources.
