An annual statistical overview of Snow College in key areas of student enrollment, student access, student success, faculty and staff, finances, physical facilities, and community outreach Snow College Institutional Portfolio, 2018 Dr. Beckie Hermansen Office of Institutional Research and Accreditation 1 PREFACE PREFACE 2 What is an Institutional Portfolio? Dear Colleagues: Welcome to the first edition of Snow College’s Institutional Portfolio—a collection of information relevant to the College’s students, faculty, staff and resources. This book also addresses the College’s annual progress toward mission fulfillment using measurable outputs related to strategic planning goals and core theme objectives. It is my hope that this book becomes a helpful resource for college planning and an information source for both internal and external reporting agencies and stakeholders. The publication of an Institutional Portfolio has become increasingly important as the college continues to pursue institutional effectiveness. The ongoing demand by state and federal agencies for greater institutional accountability makes the proliferation of this information throughout the college a good idea. It is the aim of this document facilitate the sharing of common information among faculty and staff and community members so that we can continue to effectively work together to achieve the college’s mission and goals. The criteria included in the Institutional Portfolio was collected from a variety of external reporting elements and internal requests. In addition to basic information about Snow College, elements that measure the college’s performance on objectives related to mission fulfillment, state performance funding, and general assessment were included. I am extremely happy to provide this portfolio about Snow College. My hope is that it becomes a ready reference tool and a “traditional” resource by which we can work together to move the college forward.
