Our college has been in hyper-drive for several years now, with exploding numbers of credentials that are awarded, high graduation rates, and new programs that industries demand. While this is all something we are extremely proud of, it is time to take that next step. Over time, we have seen our student average age go from the high 20s to the high teens. What does this mean? It means that more and more high school graduates and even those still in high school recognize us as a viable choice for their education. It also means that more and more potential non-traditional students are opting out of college to be part of the workforce. We have seen our number of Hispanic students rise from single digit percentages to over 25%. What does this mean? It means our college is starting to serve our populations as we should. These scenarios I just listed should help us focus on what our next steps should be at UA Cossatot. We now have all the pieces in place and all the departments aligned in such a way that we can advance this college as far we desire. We now should challenge ourselves to perfectly align any program we offer with industry needs, and infuse the curriculum with traits that will satisfy and engage the curiosities of the millennial students while still providing the structure where non-traditional students can feel at home. It is not enough for us to keep teaching the way we always have. Our courses and programs need to appeal to the new needs of the workforce and the students. It is not enough that we recruit and serve the student the way we used to. Our methods and our vibe should speak to the millennials and the non-traditional students. We also need to be aware of the data that shows that 55% of the Hispanic adult population in Sevier County does not have the equivalent of a GED or high school diploma. 28% of the Hispanic women in Sevier County do not have a GED or high school diploma. Our college has the tools (Adult Education, Center for Student Success, etc.) to reach these and other populations to help lower these percentages. UA Cossatot is poised for even greater things, and I believe when our college sees a challenge and a target, we usually do not miss it. All of things mentioned in this report align perfectly with our current strategic plan, we just need to take that next step, use the resources we have and accomplish greatness. Respectfully submitted, Dr. Steve Cole, Chancellor 5 COSSATOT COMMUNITY COLLEGE OF THE UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS REPORT TO THE BOARD OF VISITORS September 10, 2018 SUBJECT: Financial Report CHARLOTTE JOHNSON 6 Cossatot Community College of the University of Arkansas Summary of Unrestricted Revenues/Expenditure Report As of June 2018 Fiscal Year 2016-2017 Fiscal Year 2017-2018 REVENUES ACTUAL BUDGETED ACTUAL BUDGETED General Revenue $3,395,802.00 $3,395,802.00 $3,395,802.00 $3,395,802.00 Workforce 2000 1,350,337.20 1,350,337.00 1,333,363.56 1,350,337.00 Tuition & Fees 3,818,209.54 4,055,926.00 3,899,591.51 4,033,497.00 Book Program Fees 174,901.63 170,500.00 168,772.33 164,000.00 Sales Tax Revenue 1,296,116.73 1,224,200.00 1,339,491.53 1,296,035.00 Other Income 257,885.07 269,700.00 272,970.20 287,521.00 TOTAL REVENUES $10,293,252.17 $10,466,465.00 $10,409,991.13 $10,527,192.00 EXPENDITURES Classified Salaries $984,328.44 $1,071,749.00 $1,024,126.42 $1,038,137.00 Nonclassified / Instruction 1,991,098.20 2,173,246.00 2,088,205.49 2,293,592.00 Non-Classified / Dept Operations 2,110,450.01 2,105,120.00 2,065,077.36 2,173,158.00 Extra Help Salaries 212,973.09 241,700.00 171,334.50 210,998.00 Staff Benefits 1,773,391.50 1,806,446.00 1,543,590.79 1,821,374.00 Travel, Conf.

    July 10, 2017 | Vol. 70 No. 26 Read more at: minonline.com Closing the Gap: How Magazine Media is Solving for Print Losses Time Inc., New York Media and Atlantic Media offer three unique solutions. Among all the changes magazine media faces—consolidation, layoffs, digital—the one consistent trend is the decline of print advertising. Moody’s estimates that print ads will continue to fall 10% through mid-2018, providing little hope for a turnaround in the traditional revenue stream that media companies used to rely on. But, it’s also true that some companies, like New York Media and Atlantic Media, have long looked past the traditional advertising spigot, to find more reliable resources of growth. This has created some innovative strategies, where organiza- tions have sought to use their knowledge and prestige to test new revenue streams. We take a look at three different initiatives that may not replace the advertising losses, but provide a new way of viewing the potential still inherent within media brands. Continued on page 6 AIM Sells Premium Courses in a Sea of Internet 'Free' Does Active Interest Media prove that brands are now a plaform? If you're looking to perfect your vegan cooking techniques, the internet makes it pretty easy, and cheap. Plug the relevant key- words into YouTube, and about 191,000 hits float up, including numerous vegetarian cooking tips from no less than Gordon Ramsey (who has his own YouTube channel), tofu tips from the even more specialized “Vegan Zombie” (who showed us how to make vegan s’mores with a flamethrower for July 4th), and affordable meal plans from the “Cheap, Lazy Vegan,” some of which have topped 700,000 views.
