CHATFIELD COLLEGE 2017–2018 ANNUAL REPORT September 15, 2018

Students, Faculty, Staff, Neighbors & Friends of Chatfield:

The academic year, 2017-2018 was, for Chatfield College, one of great challenge, great opportunity, and continuing success. During this year, we completed work on a new and comprehensive strategic plan. This truly collaborative effort, shared by every part of our Chatfield community, enabled us to re-examine and revise our Mission and our Core Values and to create our first-ever Vision Statement. Please read about all of this on pages 2 and 3 later in this report. We began our online learning platform, Chatfield eCampus, and now nearly a third of our students have elected to enroll in one of fourteen courses. More than twenty faculty members have completed training and have qualified to teach online classes. This new opportunity further provides us with an integrated learning management system. This is a valuable resource for students and faculty in traditional courses who can use it for teaching and learning outside the classroom on an ongoing basis. We also continue to pursue upgrading our assessment and our staff and faculty professional development efforts. These are areas targeted for improvement as we prepare for our Higher Learning Commission review which is part of our accreditation process. That will take place in October. Our new strategic plan has caused us to realize the urgency of a new three-year funding campaign. We are launching the “Securing the Future - Responding to Change” initiative this fall. Already, in its beginning phase, this ambitious but essential goal has generated generous responses from some of our loyal benefactors. Perhaps most important, because essentially that is what we are all about, was our graduation in May, when 52 graduates received their Associate Degree in Liberal Arts. We enjoyed a moving and inspiring commencement address by Emmy Award–winning vocal artist Kathy Wade. This event is a vivid reminder of our extraordinary and privileged chance to transform lives. Thanks to all of our friends who support Chatfield, and our students. In so many ways, you are making a new generation of new horizons possible.

With sincere and grateful thanks...

3 NOW OFFERING ONLINE CLASSES

Chatfield College has launched a brand-new educational platform, eCampus, that allows students to take courses online. Students of both the Brown County and Over-the- Rhine campuses are taking advantage of this opportunity, with one-third of the college’s population enrolled in at least one online course. Project Manager of Online Learning Michelle Miranda said, “Chatfield’s eCampus offers unique ways for instructors to address the specific needs of their students. Instruc- tors are using the platform for both blended and fully online learning opportunities leading to enhanced student ownership in the learning experience. It’s exciting to witness the increased collaboration and communication happening through eCampus!” The goal of online classes is to extend Chatfield’s personalized, supportive learning environment beyond the rigid confines of a classroom and continue to meet the changing needs of its students. Online courses were intentionally de- signed with the same support, rigor, and interaction with the instructors that students experience in seated classes. Seven online courses debuted this spring, and all seven filled to capacity within weeks. There are a variety of courses being offered, from core classes like English to specialty classes like Early Childhood Development. “In the first week alone, students and faculty have- ac cessed information in eCampus over 40,000 times. We are extremely pleased to see this level of usage in an environment focused solely on our students,” said Chatfield’s excited Academic Dean, Dr. Peter Hanson. Tia Fern, a second semester student at the Brown County campus, was very happy to be able to take online courses for the first time. “Offering classes online is efficient for students who are really busy, juggling responsibilities like families, sports, or work. I am working and going to school at the same time, so the flexibility is really important to me.”

5 STUDENTS IN SERVICE

The Chatfield Student Service Club (CSSC) has completed several different projects this year, like gathering hurricane relief supplies for Matthew 25 Ministries, donating their fall festival proceeds to buy toys for Cincinnati Children’s Hospital, and supporting needy families throughout the Christmas season. In honor of Giving Tuesday, CSSC also gave back by serving at the Freestore Foodbank in Cincin- nati and Hope Emergency in Brown County. The club was formed to provide students the opportunity to make a difference in their communities and the organizations around them. Both campuses have many students involved in CSSC.
