We are proud of the College’s accomplishments over the past year. We have served more learners than ever before in our history despite fiscal challenges. As well, the College community has pulled together once again to implement cost savings, increase revenue and bring forward a balanced operating budget for 2010‐ 2011. Our communities continue to show their passionate support for Selkirk College through partnerships and financial and moral support. We look forward to serving the West Kootenay Boundary in 2010‐11 and into the future. Yours sincerely, Stefan Lehmann Marilyn Luscombe Board Chair President & CEO Letter from Selkirk College Board Chair and President | exceeding your expectations 3 INSTITUTIONAL OVERVIEW Selkirk College is located in the southeast corner of British Columbia, covering a region of 45,000 square kilometers. Although the College Region is defined as the West Kootenay Boundary, distance learners study from their homes across Canada and throughout the world. Selkirk’s largest campus and administrative centre is located in Castlegar. Associate degree, diploma, certificate, degree, college preparatory and adult upgrading programs are offered on this campus. There are three campuses in Nelson specializing in trades, arts and tourism/hospitality programs. Adult upgrading is also offered in Nelson, with a summer school at the Silver King campus. Campuses in Trail and Grand Forks and Learning Centres in Kaslo and Nakusp provide opportunities for Adult Education and many short‐term and continuing education and skills development courses, across the region. Selkirk College has over 70 certificate and diploma programs and boasts over 36,000 graduates since opening in 1966. The College is organized into four main divisions: the two largest divisions, Academic & Student Development and Administration & Finance, are headed by a vice president, each of whom reports to the College President. The Academic division has four deans and one director who share responsibilities for programs, student support services, the library, the registrar’s office, continuing education, contract training, institutional research, strategic enrolment management and international education. Programs are organized into schools that are each headed by a chair. These include: Developmental Education (formerly Adult Basic Education and Transitional Training) Business and Aviation Digital Media and Music Health and Human Services Hospitality and Tourism Industry and Trades Training Kootenay School of the Arts Renewable Resources University Arts and Sciences. The Academic division also includes the Mir Centre for Peace, the Selkirk Geospatial Research Center, the Community and Distributed Learning department and the Regional Innovation Chair in Rural Economic Development Research. 4 Institutional Overview | exceeding your expectations The Administration & Finance division is responsible for all operational aspects of Selkirk College and includes the Finance, Budget, Information Technology, Facilities and Maintenance departments, along with the campus management function. The Human Resources and the Communications & Development divisions also report directly to the President. Selkirk College was the first college in B.C. to be awarded a Leading Edge Endowment Fund Regional Innovation Chair to contribute, through leadership and research, to regional economic development. Selkirk is actively involved in applied research activities, primarily through the Regional Innovation Chair and the Selkirk College Geospatial Research Centre. Although we continue to be proud to be a college with a wide range of certificate and diploma programs, we also collaborate with the University of Victoria to ensure regional access to a Nursing degree and with the University of British Columbia for a teacher education degree. We also have our own, made‐at‐Selkirk, Bachelor of Geographic Systems. Selkirk College offers a comprehensive range of programs within the academic, career technical and trades areas. The programs which set Selkirk College apart from other post secondary institutions are an extension of the activities and interests of those who call the West Kootenay Boundary region home. Examples of this unique programming include peace studies, ski resort operations and management, contemporary music, integrated environmental planning, baccalaureate degree in geographic information systems, and the working artist diploma at the Kootenay School of the Arts. With respect to the educational priorities of the Ministry, Selkirk College is well positioned to support these, particularly in the areas of trades training, health care and adult basic education.

  • “Viewpoints” on Reconciliation: Indigenous Perspectives for Post-Secondary Education in the Southern Interior of Bc
    “VIEWPOINTS” ON RECONCILIATION: INDIGENOUS PERSPECTIVES FOR POST-SECONDARY EDUCATION IN THE SOUTHERN INTERIOR OF BC 2020 Project Synopsis By Christopher Horsethief, PhD, Dallas Good Water, MA, Harron Hall, BA, Jessica Morin, MA, Michele Morin, BSW, Roy Pogorzelski, MA September 1, 2020 Research Funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada. Executive Summary This research project synopsis presents diverse Indigenous community perspectives regarding the efforts needed to enable systemic change toward reconciliation within a public post-secondary educational institution in the Southern Interior of British Columbia. The main research question for this project was “How does a community college respectfully engage in reconciliation through education with the First Nations and Métis communities in the traditional territories in which it operates?” This research was realized by a team of six Indigenous researchers, representing distinct Indigenous groups within the region. It offers Indigenous perspectives, insights, and recommendations that can help guide post-secondary education toward systemic change. This research project was Indigenous led within an Indigenous research paradigm and done in collaboration with multiple communities throughout the Southern Interior region of British Columbia. Keywords: Indigenous-led research, Indigenous research methodologies, truth and reconciliation, Indigenous education, decolonization, systemic change, public post- secondary education in BC, Southern Interior of BC ii Acknowledgements This research was made possible through funding from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) of Canada. The important contributions from the Sinixt, Ktunaxa, Syilx, and Métis Elders, Knowledge Keepers, youth, men, and women within this project are essential to restoring important aspects of education that have been largely omitted from the public education system.

  • BC's Faith-Based Postsecondary Institutions
    Made In B.C. – Volume II A History of Postsecondary Education in British Columbia B.C.’s Faith-Based Postsecondary Institutions Bob Cowin Douglas College April 2009 The little paper that keeps growing I had a great deal of fun in 2007 using some of my professional development time to assemble a short history of public postsecondary education in British Columbia. My colleagues’ interest in the topic was greater than I had anticipated, encouraging me to write a more comprehensive report than I had planned. Interest was such that I found myself leading a small session in the autumn of 2008 for the BC Council of Post Secondary Library Directors, a group that I enjoyed meeting. A few days after the session, the director from Trinity Western University, Ted Goshulak, sent me a couple of books about TWU. I was pleased to receive them because I already suspected that another faith-based institution, Regent College in Vancouver, was perhaps BC’s most remarkable postsecondary success. Would Trinity Western’s story be equally fascinating? The short answer was yes. Now I was hooked. I wanted to know the stories of the other faith-based institutions, how they developed and where they fit in the province’s current postsecondary landscape. In the ensuing months, I poked around as time permitted on websites, searched library databases and catalogues, spoke with people, and circulated drafts for review. A surprisingly rich set of historical information was available. I have drawn heavily on this documentation, summarizing it to focus on organizations rather than on people in leadership roles.

  • Converting Incomplete Applicants Into Enrolled Students: a Key to Sustainability for the College of New Caledonia
    CONVERTING INCOMPLETE APPLICANTS INTO ENROLLED STUDENTS: A KEY TO SUSTAINABILITY FOR THE COLLEGE OF NEW CALEDONIA By RANDALL TODD HEIDT BAC, Mount Royal University, 1999 An Organizational Leadership Project Report submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS In LEADERSHIP We accept this Report as conforming to the required standard John Bowman, MA, Project Sponsor Mel Macleod, MEd, Faculty Supervisor Niels Agger-Gupta, PhD, Committee Chair ROYAL ROADS UNIVERSITY May 2011 © Randall Todd Heidt, 2011 Converting Incomplete Applicants Into Enrolled Students 2 ABSTRACT Every year, hundreds of potential students slip through the cracks at the College of New Caledonia (CNC) because there is no system to help them follow through with their applications and become qualified. This project used a mixed-method research approach of online surveys and a focus group to ask employees and those whose applications were deemed incomplete, for suggestions on generating more qualified applicants. Research participants called for more personalized service, additional online services, clear and consistent information, and supplementary funding. The key findings and conclusions led to seven recommendations for CNC: (1) Create a system to deal with incomplete applicants; (2) Form a working group to investigate issues raised by participants; (3) Update the College‟s strategic enrolment and marketing plan; (4) Employ prospect tracking software; (5) Improve the online application process; (6) Provide more entrance awards to applicants; and (7) Create a student mentorship program. Converting Incomplete Applicants Into Enrolled Students 3 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I owe a debt of gratitude to many people during this 2-year journey. First, I must thank the perfect supervisor, Mel MacLeod.
