We also migrated Academy from its separate server into SFI.org, so that the STARFLEET branding could be applied to Academy, and to eliminate the costs of an extra domain and web hosting. We had to close Glen’s unfinished projects that he left behind, and audit and retire those colleges that were not performing at minimum standards. We were not lacking in volunteers to direct those that were left. Survival Studies (COSS), a favorite among many students, was taken over by myself, the author of the first version of the college. The COSS has gone through a major rewrite and reformat. Long exams were divided into 25-point multiple choice or True and False exams. Three of the four schools are reopened, and the fourth will be open soon, with more exams to be added. Wherever an exam was split into 2 or more exams, the existing graduates was copied over with their grades and completion dates. Members will see confirmations for exams dated back to the date the original exam was completed. The Institute of MACO continues to gather closed exams from related colleges, incorporating them into IMACO. Long exams from SpecOps and Military Studies are being processed in the same manner as those of the COSS and added to the IMACO, under the capable hands of Kelli Caplette and TJ Allen. Two poorly-performing Institutes were merged into related Institutes. Academy has over 1,500 students enrolled. Vacancies within the faculty are being replaced by ‘newbies”, who bring new energy and new ideas into the curriculum. We are always looking for dedicated volunteers in both Academics and in Support. Some positions open to newbies are : Director, Asst. Director, Ghost writers for both new exams and conversion of exams into Multiple-choice and True-False, data entry people for the SFI DB and for Moodle, and other duties as assigned. Training is provided for all positions. If you are interested in helping out in Academy, please contact the Academic Coordinator, Jill Rayburn, at [email protected] . We keep a list of interested members, and refer to it when there is a vacancy. 3 ACADEMY INFORMATION SO YOU WANT TO BE A ACADEMY INFORMATION DIRECTOR Further information about the Academy, its staff and facul- ty, courses offered, and scholarships will be found at the Basic requirements are: Be at least 18 years following website: of age and have taken OTS and SAOC.
