A. Mission 1.) Mission Statement The mission of the Campus Activities department is to provide co- curricular learning opportunities for YC students. Recreational, educational, cultural, civic, and social experiences are provided to contribute to student satisfaction and retention. Services include campus clubs and organizations which provide opportunities for development of leadership skills and engagement through community service.
2.) Historical Sketch
Prescott: Originally Prescott campus Student Activities and Community Events were combined under Debbie McCasland. In the mid 1980’s Debbie took Community Events and activities for residence hall students became the focus of the 2, with addition of Kachina Hall, then 3 hall directors conducting about 10 – 12 events per academic year.
In August 1999, the Student Activities Coordinator position was created as a part-time, 19 ¾ hr. position.It became a full-time position in March 2000, B4, OSA. Duties included coordination and implementation of the student activities program, coordination of concession stand functions at volleyball and basketball games, budget manager for over 20 accounts, liaison to campus clubs and organizations, Game Room supervisor, and summer conference assistant. The number of activities was increased to 30 – 40 per academic year; club activities add an additional 15 – 25 programs per year as well.
In spring 2005, the position was renamed Campus Activities and Conference Services Coordinator. This reflects the change in focus from Student Activities to a more campus wide approach that supports excellence in education through a variety of academic collaborations. The number of activities conducted per year remains about the same with the inclusion of academic lectures at the request of or in cooperation with full and part time faculty.
Please note: A separate Service Area review is being submitted for Prescott Conference Services portion of this position in Fall 2005.
Verde: Campus Activities was established on the Verde Campus on October 8, 1998. Joni Alexander was employed in a full-time nine-month position, classified at B4, OSA. A part time (19.75) assistant, Julie Flatt, and a part time Federal Work Study (FWS) student completed this department.
Joni’s position focused on activities for students which included trips, clubs, high school conferences, coffee house fundraisers, collaboration with the annual Art Show and Student Awards event and Spring Graduation. In 2001 Joni assisted with Welcome Week implementation. In June 2003, the Campus Activities department full-time, nine-month, and the part-time (19.75) position was combined with a part-time (29.5) College Outreach position (classified as C1, PSA). This resulted in one full-time, twelve-month position, classified at B4, OSA. Duties from the current job description include: contact with community organizations, public speaking and promotion of the college to present positive images, enhance community support and increase enrollment, perform enrollment services functions during peak registration times, organize on and off campus programs, provide leadership training and instruction for leadership class. Student workers with FWS augment services provided by the department, although this has had mixed results.
B. Service Area Personnel 1.) Description Prescott: Campus Activities is a one person department. Since August 1999, this position has been held by Julie Moss, Campus Activities and Conference Services Coordinator, on a yearly, 12 month contract.

The Campus Activities and Conference Services Coordinator position is multifaceted and is difficult to compartmentalize as duties frequently overlap daily and throughout the year.
Year round duties include: Campus Activities – establish, organize, advertise, implement, and evaluate 30 - 40 educational, social, multicultural, and recreational opportunities for Prescott campus students. Events and activities coordinated through clubs generate an additional 15 – 25 events each academic year. Campus Activities support academic efforts of faculty by coordinating and providing financial remuneration for guest speakers or field trips specific to area of study. Coordinate the advertisement, supply, and sale of discount movie tickets to Prescott, P.V. and Chino campuses.

Conference Services – please see Service Area Review for Conference Service, 2005
Adequacy of staff This is an area of great concern. As Campus Activities Coordinator, Julie’s position was full time; the addition of Conference Services responsibilities has created competing priorities and extended hours in order accomplish overlapping duties.
To address this concern, 1) a request was made in the Conference Services SAR to reinstate funding for part time staff support; and 2) Residence hall staff will be taking over programming for their students. Julie will continue to align activities that focus on educational programs for commuter students, and leadership development for club members.
Please refer to the Adaquacy of staff portion of the Conference Services Service Area review for budget history, plans and need for 29 ¾ hr. staff position.
Verde: As of July 1, 2003 this is a one person department held by Barbara Chavez on a yearly 12 month contract.

During the past ten years Yavapai College Verde Campus, a commuter campus, has experienced over a 42% increase in the student population. ( please see attachment A) Staff changes in 2003 resulted in student workers only for support. It is difficult to find and keep qualified workers.

C. Program Outcomes
1.) Products and Services
Prescott: An average of 30 – 40 Campus activities and events are provided each academic year with an additional 15 – 25 events provided by campus clubs. Events and activities are assessed to maximize student satisfaction, attendance and positively impact retention. Cultural and musical events are frequently conducted during the noon or dinner hours in close proximity to the food court to capitalize on students, faculty, staff, and community members coming in to eat or on their way to/from classes. Every opportunity is made to capitalize on “block booking” (performance rates are decreased if multiple reservations can be made in surrounding areas or neighboring states) and long term relationships are established with performers to ensure lowest cost. Typical attendance at events follows: 1.) Hypnotist and comic shows draw on average 125 students with standing room only in Kachina lobby – filled to capacity! 2.) Cultural events such as Hispanic Heritage and American Indian Heritage events draw approximately 75 – 125 attendees. 3.) Bowling is always a hit with approximately 90 students filling Plaza Bowl to capacity! 4.) Guest speakers range in attendance from 25 (classroom) to 150 (in the Performance Hall).

D. Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats Analysis: Prescott 1.) Objective of Service Area a.) To provide co-curricular opportunities for students, that integrate recreation, education, culture, civic, and social experiences with academic programs, with a positive impact on student retention and satisfaction.
2.) Strengths a.) This office provides a variety of events and has established a high degree of reliability, creativity, and service Staff is willing and has demonstrated multiple times the ability to go the extra mile. Often this includes long hours, weekends and evening functions. Create activities and events that support students and academic efforts of faculty b.)This office has established long lasting collaborative partnerships allowing for greater programming abilities Student Support Services on Prescott and Verde campus Campus Activities on Verde campus Prescott College and Embry Riddle Campus Activities offices
3.) Weaknesses a.) Due to competing tasks and insufficient staffing, this office is unable to: add any additional components to current activities calendar keep up with current work load if Julie is out sick, on vacation or at a conference due to insufficient staffing research new guest lecturers for classes (A weakness in one area has an impact on both areas – Campus Activities and Conference Services. Duties frequently overlap so both areas feel the negative effect.) b.) Limited facilities to conduct Campus Activities: Lack of or inadequate space to conduct events of any kind New Food court dining room inappropriate: 1. Doesn’t have adequate space due to cubby hole design. 2. Diners walk through center of space to access food court disruptive to performance/speaker 3. Sound level is an issue due to close proximity of classrooms down the hall and upstairs Quad inappropriate for any musical entertainment due to location of classrooms in bldg. 3 and 4 Kachina lobby and grassy area limit non-traditional age students desire to attend as students have stated they “don’t want to go in their home” Performance Hall space often exceeds event venue requirements. traditional age students have stated “it’s too far to walk.” If community room available in 2007 – location is not soundproof and could be disruptive to students in library and classrooms upstairs. However, this space would be appropriate for speakers, hypnotist, and comedians.
4.) Opportunities a.) Support student leaders Addition of campus club meeting facility supports club involvement and community service projects b.) Support excellence in education Augmentation of guest lecture program enhances student learning, forges partnership with academics c.) Community room in 2007 will allow centrally located venue for the “quiet” events (hypnotist, comedian, guest speakers) will encourage students of all ages to attend verses location specific attendees
5.) Threats a.)Insufficient staffing will lead to - Decreased number of activities in order to keep up with all aspects of position Current Campus Activities and Conference Services Coordinator advised Dean of Student Services in September 2004 that she has “reached the limits of my ability to keep up with this job” Job burnout imminent b.) Lack of appropriate facilities – Community Multipurpose room – bldg. 19, this space not available until 2007. Potentially could be used for something other than original purpose? (office or classroom space)
D. Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats Analysis: Verde
1.) Objective of Service Area: To provide co-curricular opportunities to students, that integrate recreation, education, culture, civic, and social experiences with academic programs, with a positive impact on student retention and satisfaction, that empower them to be successful in life.

Due to competing tasks and insufficient staffing, this program cannot: add any additional components to current activities calendar keep up with current work load if Campus Activities Coordinator is out sick, on vacation or at a conference due to insufficient staffing keep up with requests from student services to staff other locations
4.) Opportunities a.) Support for student leadership development Because of the creation of the C.A.B. (Campus Activities Board) and the STU142/296 Leadership class students have the opportunity to engage in diverse activities c.) Support excellence in education Augmentation of guest lecture and academic enhancement program improves student learning and forges partnerships with academics and other college departments (OLLI) Continued professional growth opportunities; possibly attend Association for the Promotion of Campus Activities conference ( or one that uses Best Practice outline for Campus Activities as highlighted in FYE)
5.) Threats a.) Lack of availability of qualified student workers b.) Lack of appropriate facilities- There is no dedicated space for students to call their own. We are a commuter campus, many students travel several miles for class and stay on the campus between their classes. ( with fuel costs increasing, I see this population growing in numbers) The lounge area, which is a shared space, frequently has deliveries for Chartwell’s stacked in, on and around the furniture there making it uncomfortable to impossible for our students to utilize. Lack of adequate signage that identifies buildings for students to locate activities There is a desire from the student body to have a basketball “area” on campus where they could shoot hoops. This conversation has been on the table for several years Although Campus Activities Coordinator contacted the property owner who is willing to negotiate for the use of his property located by the Maverick gas station and Willard intersection, no action was taken to ensure a visible YC Marquee on Highway 89A that identifies Black Hills Drive and the Verde college location c.) Potential loss of community support through donations – past history (per Bob Lynch) may require an increase in supplies/food budget. Value for 03/04 year donations = ~ $3800.00 Value for 04/05 year donations = ~$6500.00
E. Recommendations: Prescott Please refer to the adequacy of staff portion of the Conference Services Service Area review for budget history, plans and need for 29 ¾ hr. staff position. This position would have shared duties, split 50 – 50 between Conference Services and Campus Activities due to overlap throughout the year. Currently, there is $4,590.00 in the Conference Services part time staff line item We are asking for reinstatement of $14,500 which would bring the part time staff budget back to its original allocation of $19,000. This would allow for the hiring of a $9.00/hour Student Services Technician. (Retirement benefits would need to be added as well.) 50% - $9,500.00 would be in the Campus Activities account (10-02- 9101) and 50% - $9,500.00 in the Conference Services account (10-02-6091). Use community room for original purpose – smaller venue for Campus wide use INCLUDING Campus Activities and Conference Services programs.
Recommendations: Verde Dedicated student space which includes a lounge area where recreational activities can be held Dedicated space for a basketball mini court for shooting hoops Provide signage both on and off campus to improve awareness to current and potential student populations Student Wage Increase: $7250: Student wages of $7250 to support new Game Room operation for students slated to open summer 2006 (40 weeks @ 25 hours per week @ $7.25 per hour = $7250). ($14,970 in student/part-time wages was cut from the 2004-2005 Verde Campus Activities budget.) Campus Activities currently being supported by shared student workers with Career Services and Advising, with further support from volunteer workers. Campus Activities duties requiring assistance and support: Game Room (minimum 25 hours per week); Lecture Series, Cultural events,Holiday Open House, Fresh Start Mondays, Welcome Weeks, Evening of Recognition, Graduation, Blood Drive / Health Fair, Fall Festival, Halfway There Fair,Club activities which require Campus Activities equipment usage, bulletin board postings, creation of signage for activities, filing, organizing of club and activity documents, general office assistance, equipment set up and removal.
Equipment and Furniture needs for new Game Room operation: $4400 Pool Table: approximate cost $1300 Game Table with chairs: approximate cost $700 Large Screen Plasma TV: approximate cost 1200 Six lounge-style chairs: approximate cost $1000 Games (Chess, Checkers, Cards, etc.): approximate cost $200
