MESSAGE FROM DEAN OF SCIENCE SUSAN HOYNE
RE; MATH PRE-REQUISITES
Beginning with spring registration for this year, there will
be enforced prerequisite checking for all math classes. Students intending
to register for a math class for spring must meet the prerequisites for that
class or they will be blocked from registering.
The prerequisites are listed in the spring schedule for
each math class and students can fulfill the requirements by either
successfully passing the previous math class with a P or 2.0, or by
attaining the required scores on the Compass, ASSET, SAT, or ACT.
Prerequisites are also available
online with all the necessary information
for students.
The math faculty and advisors will be accessible during
this time, so if students need help, they are asked to see a math faculty or
advisor. Students are also requested to have their unofficial transcripts
with them. It will be possible for students to override the prerequisites
but only under special circumstances and only with an entry code from the
math faculty.
This is a pilot program and we expect there to be glitches
as we undergo this change. Please feel free to call the Science Division if
you have questions or concerns--extension 6638 for Susan Hoyne.

MESSAGE FROM DEAN OF SCIENCE SUSAN HOYNE
RE; MATH PRE-REQUISITES
Beginning with spring registration for this year, there will
be enforced prerequisite checking for all math classes. Students intending
to register for a math class for spring must meet the prerequisites for that
class or they will be blocked from registering.
The prerequisites are listed in the spring schedule for
each math class and students can fulfill the requirements by either
successfully passing the previous math class with a P or 2.0, or by
attaining the required scores on the Compass, ASSET, SAT, or ACT.
Prerequisites are also available
online with all the necessary information
for students.
The math faculty and advisors will be accessible during
this time, so if students need help, they are asked to see a math faculty or
advisor. Students are also requested to have their unofficial transcripts
with them. It will be possible for students to override the prerequisites
but only under special circumstances and only with an entry code from the
math faculty.
This is a pilot program and we expect there to be glitches
as we undergo this change. Please feel free to call the Science Division if
you have questions or concerns--extension 6638 for Susan Hoyne.

MESSAGE FROM THE
PRESIDENT
RE; PLT EVALUATIONS
In September I promised that the President’s Leadership Team (PLT) would
undergo a 90-day evaluation. The purpose of this exercise is to receive
information from the campus that PLT members could use to address areas for
professional and personal development.
I would like to
thank the SCC College Council for their leadership and assistance in
developing this process. In particular, special thanks to the ad hoc
Climate Task Force, Bonnie Frunz, Pam Dusenberry, Barb Kristek and Loretta
Fisher-Niang for reviewing last year’s Climate Task Force report, extracting
key performance elements, and creating the survey tool for the evaluations.
Thanks also to Jim James, Director of Institution Research, for his analysis
of the data and for generating the final reports.
The
evaluation
report of the PLT as a unit can be downloaded (.pdf file) from the web. I have shared
the individual evaluations with each member of PLT and will discuss with
them how we might structure development plans to address key issues.
Additionally, I see this evaluation as a means to raise the awareness of our
performance expectations of all administrators. We will continue to
encourage open and honest communications, fair and transparent processes,
use of informed decision-making, and accountability to advance the work of
the College. Let us all be responsive to these values.
Thanks also to
all of you who took the time to provide your input to this evaluation. More
information will be shared at the February 17 all-campus meeting where the
campus community can ask questions.
JOE CLAYTON, PAINTER IN FACILITIES,
PASSES AWAY
Joe Clayton, Facilities painter and locksmith who worked for the College since 1992, passed away Friday, February 10th. Joe had battled cancer for several months and had even continued to work through some very tough days. Joe's wife, Jane (former Shoreline employee), has said that there will be a memorial service for him in Chicago sometime in March. We will all miss Joe and his wry sense of humor.
For additional information please contact: Randy Stegmeier, Executive Director Facilities, Capital Projects, Safety/Security at X4503 or

WED RESTRUCTURE
TASK FORCE
The WED Restructure Task Force has been charged with developing a set of recommendations regarding the appropriate locations for reassigning the major components of the division formerly known as Workforce and Economic Development. We have a very tight timeline. Our first meeting was on January 20th and we have been asked to have our work completed by February 28th. However, it is very important that we have input from members of our campus community, especially those that could be impacted by these changes.
