A Certified True Copy: David G. Carter, Chancellor CSUS BOT 2/9/11 - Agenda Binder Page #1 STAFF REPORT ACADEMIC AFFAIRS COMMITTEE ITEM Resolution concerning the Reauthorization of the Trustees Scholarship Program in the Connecticut State University System BACKGROUND The Trustees Scholarship program was originally established by Board Resolution #97-49. The program has been amended and reauthorized through Board Resolutions #98-68, 01-58, 05-01 and 08-02. The purpose of the program is to award scholarships for the recruiting and retaining of full- time entering freshmen and full-time entering transfer students of exceptional talent who might not otherwise consider attending a CSUS university. Program requirements are that: (a) Awards be given in addition to other grants-in-aid provided to students on the basis of financial need and/or enrollment in the universities honors program. (b) The awards and their timing should maximize recruitment and/or retention of identified students. (c) When applicable, scholarship is attributed to the “self-help” portion of unmet financial need. (d) The cumulative funding allocated at each university for each class of entering students should not exceed an amount equivalent to 1.0% of tuition revenue in the previous fall semester. (e) No individual scholarship award should exceed the yearly tuition charged to in-state students. (f) Universities should establish and publish the criteria on the basis for which the scholarships are awarded; criteria may include, but are not limited to, financial need, rank-in-class, scores on standardized tests, measures of leadership, evidence of achievement, and grade point average for first time freshmen or transfer applicants. (g) Universities should identify criteria for continuing eligibility for the scholarships, provided that no student shall receive such scholarships for more than eight semesters; criteria should include the completion of a minimum of 24 credit hours annually with a cumulative grade point average of at least a 3.0. (h) Evaluation reports for the program in a uniform format are due on a yearly basis and summarized during the program reauthorization at the end of a three year cycle. ANALYSIS Over the past three years, the universities allocated a total of $1,208,087 to the Trustees Scholarship program, and awarded 511 yearly scholarships. The allocations are generally well above half the limit of 1% in tuition authorized by the Board, with the exception of WCSU which was unable to allocate funds in the last year of the current authorization cycle. Systemwide, the average scholarship award is $2,364, ranging from averages of $1,821 at CCSU (with 204 awards) to $7,844 at ECSU (with 34 awards). Distribution by student status has been fairly even, with 30% of the awards given to freshmen, 20% to sophomores, 26% to juniors, and 24% to seniors. Eleven-percent of the scholarships have been awarded to students who are also Pell Grant recipients in the year of the award, and 87% of the awards have been to students who have transferred to a CSUS university. Retention and graduation rates of Trustees Scholarship recipients have remained well above those of students not in the program, often reaching over 90% and 80% respectively in the current reporting period. At CCSU, the first time recipients during the last year ranked in the top 7% of their class with average grade points of 3.82 on a 4.00 scale and averaged SAT scores of 1300 (combined critical reading & math). Transfer participants averaged 3.77 cumulative GPA. Recipients must maintain a 3.3 cumulative GPA and earn at least 30 credits per year to qualify for continuation. At ECSU, CSUS BOT 2/9/11 - Agenda Binder Page #2 STAFF REPORT ACADEMIC AFFAIRS COMMITTEE recipients rank in the top 25% of their senior class with SAT 1000 or higher, or rank in top 50% of senior class with SAT 1200 or higher Compelling essay to attend the university. Transfer students must have a prior college GPA of 3.5 or higher. At SCSU, recipients are in the 90% percentile of his/her rank in the high school class and/or must have an SAT scores of 1000 or higher. At WCSU, combined SAT Verbal and Math scores must total at least 1100, high school GPA must be at least 87 (converts to 3.3) or higher, and Rank in Class must be in the top 20%. Average GPA for grades at all colleges attended must be at least 3.5 for incoming transfers, while GPA must be at least 3.8 or higher for students qualifying for continuation in the program at the university. The universities report that Trustees Scholarship recipients make significant contributions to the quality of the academic environment, are well prepared and have leadership skills that transfer to the University life, including in many cases the athletic programs, and have included students of all backgrounds and levels of financial need. The scholarships have made a significant impact in recruiting, retaining and graduating outstanding students of high academic ability, motivation and potential. CHANCELLOR’S RECOMMENDATION Approve the resolution concerning Reauthorization of the Trustees Scholarship Program in the Connecticut State University System and that the program be reviewed by the Board for continuing authorization in January, 2014. 01/25/2011 Academic Affairs Committee 02/09/2011 Board of Trustees CSUS BOT 2/9/11 - Agenda Binder Page #3 RESOLUTION concerning MODIFICATIONS of the existing MASTER OF SCIENCE AND GRADUATE CERTIFICATE PROGRAMS IN DATA MINING at CENTRAL CONNECTICUT STATE UNIVERSITY February 9, 2011 WHEREAS, The Master of Science program in Data Mining at Central Connecticut State University was approved through Board Resolution #01-46, as modified by Board Resolutions #07-01, and WHEREAS, The Graduate Certificate program in Data Mining at Central Connecticut State University was approved through Board Resolution #07-02, and WHEREAS, The university has provided rationale for the proposed changes in the program in benefit current and prospective students, therefore be it RESOLVED, That Central Connecticut State University provide appropriate documentation to the Board of Governors for Higher Education to seek authorization for the proposed program modifications. A Certified True Copy: David G. Carter, Chancellor CSUS BOT 2/9/11 - Agenda Binder Page #4 STAFF REPORT ACADEMIC AFFAIRS COMMITTEE ITEM Resolution concerning modifications of the Master of Science and Graduate Certificate programs in Data Mining at Central Connecticut State University BACKGROUND The Master of Science program in Data Mining at Central Connecticut State University was established through Board Resolution #01-46. Board Resolutions #07-01 modified the program to incorporate courses in text mining and mining of genomics data, two growing areas in the field. The Graduate Certificate program in Data Mining at was approved through Board Resolution #07-02 to provide program opportunities to students not interested in the full Masters program and who had a more practical interest in the field, mainly due to their specific employment. ANALYSIS The MS modification responds to the need to facilitate program completion by students who are currently employed and who may only have partial mastery of theoretical mathematics. The proposed modification to the MS program reduces the number of credits required from 36 to 33 and the number of core courses from nine to seven, eliminating or streamlining course prerequisites. At the same time, course credits in the applied areas of statistics are increased, expanding the courses and introducing cutting edge and emerging techniques. The Graduate Certificate in Data Mining is modified to add one course to the list of approved electives and to change the total number of credits from 18 to 18–20 due to the increase in credits for some electives from 3 to 4 credits.

Battle, PhD, MPH, MSW Educator, Author, Administrator, & Civic Activist May 12, 2017 Radisson Cromwell 100 Berlin Road, Cromwell, CT 06416 2 Conference Partnering Sponsor 3 32nd Annual Conference Welcome! Social workers stand up for millions of people every day. These include people who are experiencing devastating illnesses and mental health crises, our veterans, children, families and communities. They stand up to ensure people get the best care while ill or on the road to recovery or simply dealing with the aging process. They stand up for military personnel and their families. They work to advocate for social justice or concentrate on passing legislation that will help those who are the most vulnerable. They stand up for abused and neglected children, work to insure the educational needs of individual children are met, and find permanency for those children in need of families. Yet many people misunderstand who social workers are and the invaluable contributions they bring to their communities. This proclamation, Social Workers Stand Up, created by NASW for Social Work Month, kicked off a campaign to educate the public about the contribu- tions of social workers and give social workers and their allies tools they can use to illuminate the profession and clarify the role social workers play all over the world. We have adopted this proclamation for our own state conference as we concur that the positive contributions of the profession need to be identified and acknowledged. So, to all the social workers who join us today at this conference, thank you for what you do.
