ASG has grown to nearly 34 members and are all ready to continue making a positive impact on campus. Campus and Student Initiatives and Projects Some projects currently being implemented are adding more recycling bins in the Library and Academic Research Center. External Initiatives and Projects As for next semester, the annual spring concert will be held on April 27th with country singers Dan+Shay as headliners. The Student Leadership Experience was in Colorado Springs at the Cheyenne Mountain Resort and hosted 55 students. There were many presenters, projects, learning activities, and speeches given at the retreat. Internal Initiatives and Projects Because of all the interest of being involved in ASG, we have hired 11 out of the 12 new student government positions. These new positions are called legislative aides and will work hand in hand with senators and directors with projects, ideas, and professional development. We have also appointed the ASG Election commission to start the election processes. They are working on a deadline and will eventually set the election schedule. Closing Statement With a New Year and new semester, many great initiatives, projects, and events will be coming to fruition on our campus. “For the strength of the pack is the wolf, and the strength of the wolf is the pack.” 7 Colorado State University System Board of Governors CSU-Pueblo Faculty Representative Report submitted by David Volk January 22, 2017 Items currently under discussion among CSU-Pueblo Faculty Senate and Faculty: Clarification of Assistant Department Chair position in Faculty Handbook (approved) o Faculty Senate clarified and defined the Assistant Department Chair position in the Faculty Handbook. The Assistant Chair will receive a one-course release per semester for administrative duties. This clarifies the role of the current director (Assistant Chair) of Foreign Languages within the Department of English and Foreign Languages. New degree proposals (expedited readings) o Faculty Senate continues to review and consider five new degree programs approved by the CSU Board of Governors: Wildlife and Natural Resources, Master of Social Work, the Doctor of Nursing Practice, the Masters degree in Athletic Training, and the Early Childhood as an additional endorsement area for teaching licensure. Changing compensation for merit in promotion salary increases o Compensate for merit in ranked faculty by increasing the current promotion salary increases to $6000 and $8000 respectively for assistant to associate and associate to full professor. Compensate for increased experience by providing a salary increase of 0.72% yearly, independent of any cost of living adjustment. Provide cost of living adjustments yearly, as a function of the current inflation rate. Spring 2017 Convocation: Experiential Education Roundtable Workshop Continuing on the work of our HLC Quality Initiative (to expand the understanding and use of experiential education [EE] pedagogy at CSU-Pueblo), the faculty EE Roundtable, under the direction of the University EE Director, Daniel Bowan, aim to increase the number of EE courses officially designated on CSU-Pueblo transcripts. At the Spring 2017 Convocation, approximately 15 faculty attended Dr. Bowan’s workshop on the application process. EE Designated courses include a minimum of 10 hours of experiential learning per credit hour, a reflective component as a critical part of the course assessment, and an explanation to students about EE pedagogy. Increasing the number of EE courses campus-wide and the number of students taking EE courses is a goal of the University Strategic Plan. Presidential Search Committee: conference call December 19 with Parker Executive Search Confirmed key dates and the process moving forward. Web repository for applicant materials and committee evaluation is up and running. Applications are being received. 8 Board of Governors of the Colorado State University System Meeting Date: February 2, 2017 Report Item PRESIDENT’S REPORT I. ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE A. Hasan School of Business to offer online MBA The Hasan School of Business (HSB) has announced that beginning January 30, students will be able to earn a Master of Business Administration (MBA) in one year through a new online program administered through the University’s Office of Extended Studies. According to HSB MBA Director Dr. Kristyn White, the new online MBA will be one of the least expensive MBA programs in the nation and one of only a few online MBAs accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) in Colorado. The program will provide a degree program taught by HSB faculty for significantly less than the average total cost for an MBA degree. White said the program will have rolling enrollment, meaning flexible start dates that are convenient for a student’s schedule as well as ambition. B. ICR research announced The Institute of Cannabis Research (ICR) has finalized the awards for cannabis-related research that will be conducted on the campus in the coming year, using Pueblo County and state funding. Currently, 10 CSU-Pueblo faculty are leading the research that is categorized by major projects, pilot studies, and professional development. They represent a variety of academic disciplines, including psychology, education, engineering, business, biology, and chemistry. Among the major projects are an examination of the effects of medicinal cannabinoids (CBD) on seizures in adults with medically refractory epilepsy, analysis of industrial hemp fibers in 3D-printing, and development of a cannabis growth and research infrastructure at the university.
