We are open to ideas and off the wall ideas and going out to see if something works.
Students enjoy us as a smaller campus and don't get lost in the shuffle,  but resources are not available like the bigger campuses. Students get frustrated when classes are cancelled due to low enrollment and enjoy the smaller classes.
Community is supportive, people that grew up here or live here
Small and connection between instructors and students is great.  Instructors are advocates for helping students.  Student workers work for us but we are also helping them and help them w/different issues.
Role that Lindsey has is great because they are put there to help the students. We are more inclined to help guide students then to just direct them where to go.  We give more help to our students and will show them and tell them who to go see, both faculty and staff.

-Pharmacy Tech/Healthcare pgm. CVS/Walmart are in need of 500 techs a year, there is a demand.  They can get the job w/17 credits.
These are existing pgms. that need investment in.
-Balance bilingual in a linguistics aspect is difficult, but @ SMCC and interaction w/students they are balanced bilingual and able to operate in both languages. Interpretation: Legal, Health/Med field, International Business. Utilize students and capitalize on their language skills, young people can function.
-Transportation/Warehousing opportunity in Supply Chain Management.
-We need to be creating jobs that don't exist.  8th grade kids 65% of the jobs that they are preparing for do not exist yet.
-We need to be creating opportunities for our students that do not yet exist, how do we prepare them for jobs on their own.   It's a mindset that needs to be supported.
-AA in Interdisciplinary Studies where students create their own pathway.  Students take concentration areas, which leads to create their own job.  Students still need support and guidance.

-Students should be able to go in CANVAS and see the outline of the course & course content even before they register for the class.
-More consistency among the courses (quality, navigate, student services, syllabus' look similar) so it's not so hard for students to figure out.
- Books: more emphasis of OER (free or low cost for students)
-Start developing content & student assignments for mobile devices.
-Grow online programs
-Need to be more creative in the delivery method of courses. (scheduling, course content, etc.)
