This present volume contains four sections corresponding to the four categories in which programs were originally submitted to NCIA for its Annual Exemplary Initiatives Awards. These awards were presented at the annual AACC convention held in April at Washington, DC. Section I includes the descriptions of the two programs which shared the award for Exemplary Initiatives in Workforce Development. Also included are the two programs that were awarded honorable mentions. Edited versions of all other entries in this category are included. Section II includes the three programs which shared the award for Exemplary Initiatives In Enhancing Student Learning. Also included are the three programs that were awarded honorable mentions. Edited versions of all other entries in this category are included. Section III includes the description of the program that won the award for Exemplary Initiatives in Developmental Education. Two honorable mentions are also contained as well as edited versions of all other entries. Section IX includes the description of the winning program in the category Exemplary Initiatives in External Partnerships and Collaboration and the three programs that were awarded honorable mentions. Edited versions of all other entries are also included. In all, 204 programs are described herein. Each program cites the institutional contact person, the college address and phone number and the name of the college's Chief Executive Officer. An "Index of Participating Colleges" is contained at the end of the book. Programs were nominated as exemplary by the participating colleges. Each college determined the category or categories in which to compete. Program narratives were restricted to a maximum 1000 words. For this volume some editing for style and length has been done. Programs submitted were required to address three criteria in their narrative: 1. Must identify how the program is innovative and creative. 2. Could be adopted/adapted by other colleges. 3. Can provide indications of success on campus. In certain instances, colleges chose to address each of the criteria in turn within their narratives. In other instances colleges generally covered the criteria, but with no direct reference to them. 5 Beyond presenting its awards, the National Council of Instructional Administrators makes no judgment on the merit of individual programs, but is pleased to include programs as submitted. Program evaluators were selected by the NCIA Executive Board. The Council is pleased to provide, as part of its membership services, copies of this publication to its members. On a periodic basis the Council publishes other materials of interest to academic administrators. A quarterly Newsletter is also distributed to all NCIA members. This book and earlier issues (as well as newsletters) are available through ERIC. You may also find this book and current newsletters on our website: www.nciaonline.org.
