00:02:23.000 okay this is your website isn't 00:02:23.000 --> 00:02:25.000 this great it actually is great 00:02:25.000 --> 00:02:26.000 don't answer the question it 00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:28.000 is actually great -- because 00:02:28.000 --> 00:02:30.000 why why do you think this is 00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:32.000 a great website I'll answer the 00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:34.000 question look right -- what is 00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:37.000 right here Graduate Programs 00:02:37.000 --> 00:02:40.000 amazing amazing that it's there 00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:42.000 you don't see this very often 00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:44.000 on a university's website and 00:02:44.000 --> 00:02:46.000 that means wait what happens 00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:47.000 with the website that's the 00:02:47.000 --> 00:02:49.000 number one way that graduate 00:02:49.000 --> 00:02:52.000 students find the graduate 00:02:52.000 --> 00:02:53.000 program that they want to go 00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:56.000 to so if graduate studies and 00:02:56.000 --> 00:02:58.000 I'll go on with the other -- 00:02:58.000 --> 00:02:59.000 units in just a minute if graduate 00:02:59.000 --> 00:02:61.000 studies is hidden and they 00:03:01.000 --> 00:03:03.000 can't find it then they you 00:03:03.000 --> 00:03:04.000 know how the attention span 00:03:04.000 --> 00:03:06.000 is for someone to actually try 00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:08.000 to click through something you 00:03:08.000 --> 00:03:10.000 can't find it well okay I'm 00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:12.000 going somewhere else so this 00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:13.000 is one step that you've made 00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:15.000 that is really great plus you 00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:16.000 have really pretty campus that's 00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:18.000 nice too -- what else do you 00:03:18.000 --> 00:03:21.000 see that's new up there I did 00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:22.000 some little not really 00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:24.000 photoshopping but I put in the 00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:26.000 find button can you see the 00:03:26.000 --> 00:03:27.000 Dean of Graduate Studies and 00:03:27.000 --> 00:03:30.000 Research that'll happen if not 00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:32.000 me someone will be searching 00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:35.000 for that and that's something 00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:38.000 that will also take will give 00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:41.000 both -- the community whoever 00:03:41.000 --> 00:03:42.000 searching for that prospective 00:03:42.000 --> 00:03:45.000 students -- perspective grant 00:03:48.000 --> 00:03:50.000 other constituents a place 00:03:50.000 --> 00:03:53.000 to search for and shows 00:03:53.000 --> 00:03:56.000 within a dean a position that 00:03:56.000 --> 00:03:58.000 the university has invested 00:03:58.000 --> 00:03:60.000 in actually bring the umbrella 00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:01.000 I also say bringing the units 00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:05.000 together and now has leadership 00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:08.000 in in which to do that so I 00:04:08.000 --> 00:04:12.000 I really think that that is a 00:04:12.000 --> 00:04:14.000 great idea of to what you're 00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:17.000 going to see in the future so 00:04:17.000 --> 00:04:18.000 today's discussion this was 00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:20.000 my assignment I'm not usually 00:04:20.000 --> 00:04:21.000 a power point reader but 00:04:21.000 --> 00:04:22.000 I'll go ahead how will this 00:04:22.000 --> 00:04:24.000 new unit meet the challenges 00:04:24.000 --> 00:04:25.000 of the twenty first century 00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:26.000 learning environment while 00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:28.000 helping the university 00:04:28.000 --> 00:04:30.000 fulfill its mission and adhere 00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:32.000 to a strategic plan this is 00:04:32.000 --> 00:04:33.000 where I would ask you does 00:04:33.000 --> 00:04:35.000 anyone know what your mission 00:04:35.000 --> 00:04:37.000 is or your strategic plan I will 00:04:37.000 --> 00:04:41.000 help you so here is your mission 00:04:41.000 --> 00:04:42.000 is it WOU -- I keep hearing 00:04:42.000 --> 00:04:45.000 WOU so WOU creates 00:04:45.000 --> 00:04:46.000 lasting opportunities for student 00:04:46.000 --> 00:04:48.000 success through transformative 00:04:48.000 --> 00:04:49.000 education and personalized 00:04:49.000 --> 00:04:51.000 support this is what I like 00:04:51.000 --> 00:04:52.000 about the university is that 00:04:52.000 --> 00:04:53.000 you have that personalized 00:04:53.000 --> 00:04:55.000 support especially at the 00:04:55.000 --> 00:04:57.000 graduate level so that you have 00:04:57.000 --> 00:04:59.000 classrooms that are small and 00:04:59.000 --> 00:04:60.000 you have classrooms that have 00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:01.000 that personalized level with 00:05:01.000 --> 00:05:02.000 the experts in the graduate 00:05:02.000 --> 00:05:05.000 faculty that they can learn 00:05:05.000 --> 00:05:07.000 from -- then here are your points 00:05:07.000 --> 00:05:09.000 of your strategic plan when I 00:05:09.000 --> 00:05:10.000 was thinking about this what 00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:12.000 I did was I sort of worked 00:05:12.000 --> 00:05:13.000 backwards so I went to your 00:05:13.000 --> 00:05:16.000 strategic plan score card 00:05:16.000 --> 00:05:18.000 and I took a look to see 00:05:18.000 --> 00:05:20.000 what was in that score card 00:05:20.000 --> 00:05:22.000 there's a lot of great things 00:05:22.000 --> 00:05:23.000 in that scorecard I'm very 00:05:23.000 --> 00:05:25.000 impressed with it and some of 00:05:25.000 --> 00:05:27.000 the things that I see were 00:05:27.000 --> 00:05:29.000 missing and I think that's why 00:05:32.000 --> 00:05:34.000 that's coming together because 00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:37.000 together we can add different 00:05:37.000 --> 00:05:39.000 parts to that scorecard once 00:05:39.000 --> 00:05:41.000 you do that becomes -- that gives 00:05:41.000 --> 00:05:43.000 you recognition that gives 00:05:43.000 --> 00:05:46.000 you -- publicity that will 00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:48.000 also bring in more students 00:05:48.000 --> 00:05:50.000 and it organizes you to keep 00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:52.000 going through and meeting 00:05:52.000 --> 00:05:55.000 your all these points and also 00:05:55.000 --> 00:05:58.000 your mission so challenges 00:05:58.000 --> 00:05:60.000 this is where I would ask what's the main 00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:02.000 challenge this is what I hear 00:06:02.000 --> 00:06:03.000 this is what I read I get 00:06:03.000 --> 00:06:04.000 this Twitter feed about higher 00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:07.000 education news and -- Forbes 00:06:07.000 --> 00:06:09.000 Magazine and US news picked 00:06:09.000 --> 00:06:12.000 up on this lately is college 00:06:12.000 --> 00:06:14.000 worth it anymore have you 00:06:14.000 --> 00:06:17.000 heard this question yes yes 00:06:17.000 --> 00:06:20.000 a lot of nods yes this this 00:06:20.000 --> 00:06:22.000 bothers me actually because I 00:06:22.000 --> 00:06:24.000 see this all the time and I'm like 00:06:24.000 --> 00:06:27.000 yes of course it is but what's 00:06:27.000 --> 00:06:29.000 wrong with it is that it is 00:06:29.000 --> 00:06:32.000 now in the news social media 00:06:32.000 --> 00:06:35.000 on online I get it on Twitter every 00:06:35.000 --> 00:06:37.000 particular news has picked 00:06:37.000 --> 00:06:39.000 up on this one press release 00:06:39.000 --> 00:06:40.000 and then that is expanded and 00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:42.000 so now potential students 00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:45.000 are asking is it worth it 00:06:45.000 --> 00:06:47.000 do I need to come to get an 00:06:47.000 --> 00:06:50.000 education will the money that 00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:53.000 I will spend and the debt that 00:06:53.000 --> 00:06:55.000 I will incur will it actually get me 00:06:55.000 --> 00:06:57.000 a better job will I actually 00:06:57.000 --> 00:06:60.000 be more hirable -- is it 00:07:00.000 --> 00:07:03.000 worth that time of my life to 00:07:03.000 --> 00:07:05.000 actually do that so that's one 00:07:05.000 --> 00:07:07.000 of the biggest challenges is 00:07:07.000 --> 00:07:10.000 college -- worth it anymore 00:07:10.000 --> 00:07:12.000 then we have the supply and demand 00:07:12.000 --> 00:07:15.000 some of these are undergraduate 00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:17.000 issues like the first one 00:07:17.000 --> 00:07:18.000 and I say it's not supply and 00:07:18.000 --> 00:07:19.000 demand because -- my undergrad 00:07:19.000 --> 00:07:21.000 was in business but this is a 00:07:21.000 --> 00:07:22.000 business we have to you know 00:07:22.000 --> 00:07:23.000 some people don't like hearing 00:07:23.000 --> 00:07:26.000 that that a university is a business 00:07:26.000 --> 00:07:28.000 but we are a business and the 00:07:28.000 --> 00:07:30.000 the customer the customer are 00:07:30.000 --> 00:07:32.000 our students I even tell my 00:07:32.000 --> 00:07:34.000 students that like I'm here to 00:07:34.000 --> 00:07:38.000 serve you as a customer and 00:07:38.000 --> 00:07:39.000 if you're not happy with that 00:07:39.000 --> 00:07:42.000 you have a choice to well put 00:07:42.000 --> 00:07:44.000 to rate me poorly on Rate My 00:07:44.000 --> 00:07:47.000 Professor dot com for one or 00:07:47.000 --> 00:07:48.000 you have a choice to leave and 00:07:48.000 --> 00:07:49.000 that's what's also happening is 00:07:49.000 --> 00:07:51.000 you have a lot of competition 00:07:51.000 --> 00:07:52.000 out there and that's one of 00:07:52.000 --> 00:07:55.000 the things that -- we have to 00:07:55.000 --> 00:07:57.000 make sure that we are doing 00:07:57.000 --> 00:07:59.000 the opposite of some of the 00:07:59.000 --> 00:07:61.000 things of these challenges and 00:08:01.000 --> 00:08:03.000 so we know -- so these are 00:08:03.000 --> 00:08:04.000 in some of your reports that 00:08:04.000 --> 00:08:06.000 I've read that undergraduate 00:08:06.000 --> 00:08:09.000 students supply is decreasing 00:08:09.000 --> 00:08:10.000 a couple of reasons because 00:08:10.000 --> 00:08:12.000 there's a less graduating high 00:08:12.000 --> 00:08:14.000 school -- group of students 00:08:14.000 --> 00:08:16.000 coming through and then also 00:08:16.000 --> 00:08:18.000 there's also less international 00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:19.000 students coming through right 00:08:19.000 --> 00:08:22.000 now and so at my university 00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:24.000 we had a big a large Asian 00:08:24.000 --> 00:08:26.000 community come through and now 00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:29.000 we have lost them for different 00:08:29.000 --> 00:08:30.000 reasons sometimes political 00:08:30.000 --> 00:08:31.000 reasons or sometimes it's 00:08:31.000 --> 00:08:33.000 more difficult to stay here 00:08:35.000 --> 00:08:37.000 need in different different 00:08:37.000 --> 00:08:39.000 challenges that they have but 00:08:39.000 --> 00:08:42.000 it -- they are decreasing and 00:08:42.000 --> 00:08:45.000 that's a challenge that means 00:08:45.000 --> 00:08:47.000 competition for these students 00:08:47.000 --> 00:08:51.000 is increasing so students will 00:08:51.000 --> 00:08:52.000 now -- now everyone wants 00:08:52.000 --> 00:08:55.000 these students your students they 00:08:55.000 --> 00:08:57.000 want your students because they 00:08:57.000 --> 00:08:59.000 have to survive especially the 00:08:59.000 --> 00:08:61.000 private universities as well 00:09:03.000 --> 00:09:06.000 of Phoenix online you know even 00:09:06.000 --> 00:09:07.000 though they got in a little bit 00:09:07.000 --> 00:09:10.000 of a controversy for profit 00:09:10.000 --> 00:09:13.000 universities are still looking 00:09:13.000 --> 00:09:15.000 for what that financial aid that 00:09:15.000 --> 00:09:17.000 they get also they're looking 00:09:17.000 --> 00:09:19.000 for that tuition any university 00:09:19.000 --> 00:09:21.000 is but there's less students 00:09:21.000 --> 00:09:25.000 so we're looking to grab them 00:09:25.000 --> 00:09:26.000 what we have to do I'm sorry 00:09:26.000 --> 00:09:28.000 we -- what you have to do 00:09:28.000 --> 00:09:31.000 until maybe we is that 00:09:31.000 --> 00:09:34.000 make sure that our education 00:09:34.000 --> 00:09:36.000 here that you are offering 00:09:36.000 --> 00:09:40.000 the best services to the most 00:09:40.000 --> 00:09:43.000 well to the best students and 00:09:43.000 --> 00:09:45.000 even to the students who are 00:09:45.000 --> 00:09:47.000 just trying something new to 00:09:47.000 --> 00:09:49.000 make themselves a better world 00:09:49.000 --> 00:09:52.000 global citizen and you're 00:09:52.000 --> 00:09:54.000 doing that and I think it's 00:09:54.000 --> 00:09:55.000 great that's partially of 00:09:55.000 --> 00:09:58.000 how this umbrella is going 00:09:58.000 --> 00:09:60.000 to come together and even boost 00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:04.000 that more and 00:10:04.000 --> 00:10:06.000 wow this is this is news this 00:10:06.000 --> 00:10:09.000 is news Oregon community colleges 00:10:09.000 --> 00:10:10.000 beginning to offer BAS 00:10:10.000 --> 00:10:13.000 programs this is controversial 00:10:15.000 --> 00:10:16.000 especially at my university 00:10:16.000 --> 00:10:18.000 we've had a lot of discussions 00:10:18.000 --> 00:10:19.000 about it -- the undergraduate 00:10:19.000 --> 00:10:21.000 programs are well the community 00:10:21.000 --> 00:10:24.000 colleges I think started about 00:10:24.000 --> 00:10:25.000 I wanna say six or five 00:10:25.000 --> 00:10:27.000 six seven years ago -- to 00:10:27.000 --> 00:10:29.000 actually get permission to do 00:10:29.000 --> 00:10:34.000 this now they are prolificating 00:10:34.000 --> 00:10:36.000 to you to get the BAS 00:10:36.000 --> 00:10:37.000 programs they come 00:10:37.000 --> 00:10:38.000 to us and say can you 00:10:38.000 --> 00:10:40.000 please review our BAS 00:10:40.000 --> 00:10:43.000 program to see if it is viable 00:10:43.000 --> 00:10:45.000 and we're like okay yes we will but 00:10:45.000 --> 00:10:47.000 then we know we're adding 00:10:47.000 --> 00:10:50.000 competition as well and now 00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:51.000 some of the community colleges 00:10:51.000 --> 00:10:54.000 have turned into colleges end 00:10:54.000 --> 00:10:56.000 so they offer the AA and 00:10:56.000 --> 00:10:58.000 then and then the BAS 00:10:58.000 --> 00:10:61.000 and so particularly you know our 00:11:01.000 --> 00:11:02.000 undergrad programs are like okay 00:11:02.000 --> 00:11:04.000 here is the competition but 00:11:04.000 --> 00:11:07.000 then there's much talk about 00:11:07.000 --> 00:11:09.000 in graduate studies should 00:11:09.000 --> 00:11:12.000 we actually accept BAS 00:11:12.000 --> 00:11:14.000 programs from community 00:11:14.000 --> 00:11:18.000 colleges and so one of the things 00:11:18.000 --> 00:11:20.000 is -- the issue there is that 00:11:20.000 --> 00:11:22.000 are the faculty trained enough 00:11:22.000 --> 00:11:25.000 to offer good -- education 00:11:25.000 --> 00:11:28.000 however one of my my thought 00:11:28.000 --> 00:11:30.000 is that this is a big market 00:11:30.000 --> 00:11:34.000 a very big market -- where 00:11:34.000 --> 00:11:35.000 you're going to have a lot 00:11:35.000 --> 00:11:37.000 of students going to for a 00:11:37.000 --> 00:11:39.000 to market for the graduate 00:11:39.000 --> 00:11:40.000 I don't want to say -- 00:11:40.000 --> 00:11:41.000 for the whole university but for 00:11:41.000 --> 00:11:43.000 graduate programs first because 00:11:43.000 --> 00:11:46.000 we don't usually discriminate 00:11:46.000 --> 00:11:49.000 at Central for where you come 00:11:49.000 --> 00:11:51.000 from in the country at any 00:11:51.000 --> 00:11:53.000 university as long as you meet 00:11:53.000 --> 00:11:54.000 the requirements to get into 00:11:54.000 --> 00:11:55.000 graduate school and then your 00:11:55.000 --> 00:11:57.000 program so for us it's very 00:11:57.000 --> 00:11:60.000 typical like you -- a little 00:12:00.000 --> 00:12:02.000 bit typical is where we count 00:12:02.000 --> 00:12:04.000 the last ninety hours the 00:12:04.000 --> 00:12:06.000 GPA -- then you have to have 00:12:08.000 --> 00:12:10.000 course conferred you know letters of 00:12:10.000 --> 00:12:12.000 reference -- we have a personal 00:12:12.000 --> 00:12:13.000 statement which I think is 00:12:13.000 --> 00:12:15.000 actually very important that 00:12:15.000 --> 00:12:19.000 we have -- and also -- just has 00:12:19.000 --> 00:12:22.000 to be an accredited university 00:12:22.000 --> 00:12:23.000 international students have a 00:12:23.000 --> 00:12:24.000 little bit more hoops to jump 00:12:24.000 --> 00:12:27.000 through so for me it's like 00:12:27.000 --> 00:12:30.000 well we can't discriminate to 00:12:30.000 --> 00:12:34.000 them yet we can help and we can 00:12:34.000 --> 00:12:36.000 create articulation agreements 00:12:36.000 --> 00:12:37.000 with them and that's one of 00:12:37.000 --> 00:12:39.000 the things that I did -- the 00:12:39.000 --> 00:12:41.000 first articulation agreement 00:12:43.000 --> 00:12:46.000 University and north north 00:12:46.000 --> 00:12:48.000 central north Seattle somewhere 00:12:48.000 --> 00:12:50.000 up there -- community college 00:12:50.000 --> 00:12:53.000 for my my own a master's program 00:12:53.000 --> 00:12:55.000 degree in my home department 00:12:55.000 --> 00:12:58.000 and so we went there and said 00:12:58.000 --> 00:12:60.000 what can we do for you and 00:13:00.000 --> 00:13:03.000 what can you do for us we sign 00:13:03.000 --> 00:13:04.000 some papers we decided what 00:13:04.000 --> 00:13:07.000 that relationship would be 00:13:07.000 --> 00:13:09.000 and then we received a lot of 00:13:09.000 --> 00:13:11.000 students from their particular 00:13:11.000 --> 00:13:13.000 institution we kept that 00:13:13.000 --> 00:13:14.000 relationship going that's key 00:13:14.000 --> 00:13:15.000 you have to keep a relationship 00:13:15.000 --> 00:13:18.000 going as well so -- that's 00:13:18.000 --> 00:13:21.000 one way that we can overcome 00:13:21.000 --> 00:13:23.000 this challenge where does the 00:13:23.000 --> 00:13:25.000 money come from this is the 00:13:25.000 --> 00:13:26.000 challenge I think this is probably 00:13:26.000 --> 00:13:27.000 the question almost everybody 00:13:27.000 --> 00:13:29.000 has in this room where does the 00:13:29.000 --> 00:13:31.000 money come from to run this 00:13:31.000 --> 00:13:34.000 university and to provide the 00:13:34.000 --> 00:13:37.000 education that our students 00:13:37.000 --> 00:13:40.000 want and basically public 00:13:40.000 --> 00:13:42.000 institutions are becoming more 00:13:42.000 --> 00:13:44.000 private and so now we have 00:13:44.000 --> 00:13:46.000 to find money elsewhere and 00:13:46.000 --> 00:13:48.000 that is definitely a challenge 00:13:48.000 --> 00:13:51.000 that now is -- I don't want to say fairly 00:13:51.000 --> 00:13:53.000 new but it is something that 00:13:53.000 --> 00:13:56.000 is awakening everybody I've 00:13:56.000 --> 00:13:58.000 heard that in many of the meetings 00:13:58.000 --> 00:13:59.000 today well where can you -- 00:13:59.000 --> 00:13:61.000 where can we get the money 00:14:02.000 --> 00:14:05.000 come in -- I'll kind of 00:14:05.000 --> 00:14:07.000 bridge where sponsored programs 00:14:07.000 --> 00:14:09.000 and centers come in because 00:14:09.000 --> 00:14:10.000 that's another area that we 00:14:10.000 --> 00:14:13.000 can work together to actually 00:14:13.000 --> 00:14:16.000 bring in some revenue as long 00:14:16.000 --> 00:14:18.000 as though the revenue stays a 00:14:18.000 --> 00:14:21.000 portion of it with the actual 00:14:24.000 --> 00:14:27.000 or college and why it would 00:14:28.000 --> 00:14:30.000 kinda you know break those up 00:14:30.000 --> 00:14:31.000 where it is is you have to get 00:14:31.000 --> 00:14:33.000 some feedback on that and -- 00:14:33.000 --> 00:14:35.000 I'm sure the the provost would 00:14:35.000 --> 00:14:38.000 say exactly sorry you know 00:14:38.000 --> 00:14:39.000 he's he's a nice guy he'll 00:14:39.000 --> 00:14:43.000 give you money right -- so the 00:14:43.000 --> 00:14:44.000 state funding is decreasing 00:14:44.000 --> 00:14:47.000 we have to find money -- I was 00:14:47.000 --> 00:14:49.000 telling a group earlier today 00:14:49.000 --> 00:14:51.000 that my class right now it's 00:14:51.000 --> 00:14:52.000 an undergrad classes a leadership 00:14:52.000 --> 00:14:54.000 and supervision so we started 00:14:54.000 --> 00:14:57.000 with the -- I wanted to 00:14:57.000 --> 00:14:59.000 start just -- last week and 00:14:59.000 --> 00:14:60.000 I asked them all -- to get 00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:03.000 into groups and come together 00:15:03.000 --> 00:15:05.000 and say for each one of you 00:15:05.000 --> 00:15:08.000 who is the leader that you 00:15:09.000 --> 00:15:12.000 head who you admire that's not 00:15:12.000 --> 00:15:14.000 related to you and so they all 00:15:14.000 --> 00:15:16.000 wrote something down and then 00:15:16.000 --> 00:15:18.000 or someone down then they got 00:15:18.000 --> 00:15:19.000 together and talked about it 00:15:19.000 --> 00:15:21.000 and then we wrote them on the 00:15:21.000 --> 00:15:24.000 board and we counted how many 00:15:24.000 --> 00:15:25.000 people know this person how 00:15:25.000 --> 00:15:27.000 many know this person in in 00:15:27.000 --> 00:15:29.000 the class recognize this person 00:15:29.000 --> 00:15:31.000 and then the next it was very 00:15:31.000 --> 00:15:33.000 interesting who they came up with 00:15:36.000 --> 00:15:38.000 Winston Churchill -- let's 00:15:38.000 --> 00:15:41.000 see -- Denzel Washington and 00:15:41.000 --> 00:15:42.000 people didn't know who Denzel 00:15:42.000 --> 00:15:44.000 Washington was so I saw the 00:15:44.000 --> 00:15:45.000 saw the student like take out 00:15:45.000 --> 00:15:47.000 his phone show the pictures 00:15:47.000 --> 00:15:49.000 and they're like oh so they 00:15:49.000 --> 00:15:51.000 knew what he looked like and 00:15:51.000 --> 00:15:53.000 so we went through and said why 00:15:53.000 --> 00:15:55.000 why are these leaders and 00:15:55.000 --> 00:15:56.000 then the next day I have what's 00:15:56.000 --> 00:15:57.000 called in class assignments 00:15:57.000 --> 00:15:60.000 so I can take our attendance and 00:16:00.000 --> 00:16:01.000 so I listed them all and I 00:16:01.000 --> 00:16:03.000 said rate them from one to ten 00:16:03.000 --> 00:16:05.000 or one to -- I took the 00:16:05.000 --> 00:16:07.000 top five rate them from one to 00:16:07.000 --> 00:16:08.000 five on who you would like to focus 00:16:08.000 --> 00:16:11.000 the rest of the class on so 00:16:11.000 --> 00:16:13.000 we can we can integrate that 00:16:13.000 --> 00:16:15.000 leader into the curriculum so 00:16:15.000 --> 00:16:16.000 that everything we're gonna talk 00:16:16.000 --> 00:16:19.000 to is going to come into this 00:16:19.000 --> 00:16:20.000 leader and other -- another leader 00:16:20.000 --> 00:16:22.000 that I choose to also do that on 00:16:22.000 --> 00:16:24.000 my own so that I can focus on 00:16:24.000 --> 00:16:26.000 two people so the number one 00:16:26.000 --> 00:16:28.000 person and -- I'm sorry if I'm 00:16:28.000 --> 00:16:30.000 repeating myself from other 00:16:30.000 --> 00:16:31.000 meetings the number one person 00:16:31.000 --> 00:16:33.000 that had the majority of the 00:16:33.000 --> 00:16:37.000 choices was Elon Musk and 00:16:37.000 --> 00:16:38.000 that was really interesting 00:16:38.000 --> 00:16:39.000 course because he's in the 00:16:39.000 --> 00:16:41.000 news where are we going I'm going 00:16:41.000 --> 00:16:42.000 to Mars I don't know about 00:16:42.000 --> 00:16:43.000 you guys but I am going to go 00:16:43.000 --> 00:16:46.000 to Mars after I retire from 00:16:46.000 --> 00:16:48.000 possibly this job -- or I'll take 00:16:49.000 --> 00:16:52.000 Mars with me -- so -- 00:16:52.000 --> 00:16:54.000 we -- they chose him and I 00:16:54.000 --> 00:16:56.000 brought a video because we all 00:16:56.000 --> 00:16:58.000 teachers like to show videos 00:16:58.000 --> 00:16:59.000 for as long as we possibly 00:16:59.000 --> 00:16:61.000 can so that that we don't 00:17:01.000 --> 00:17:04.000 I'm just joking -- I use it as a 00:17:04.000 --> 00:17:06.000 tool to really get students 00:17:06.000 --> 00:17:09.000 inspired or to get them -- you know 00:17:09.000 --> 00:17:11.000 give them information it and 00:17:11.000 --> 00:17:12.000 if it's a really good video 00:17:12.000 --> 00:17:14.000 that keeps them attention this 00:17:14.000 --> 00:17:15.000 was a really good video it was 00:17:15.000 --> 00:17:17.000 an interview between Khan 00:17:17.000 --> 00:17:21.000 the owner Khan Academy and 00:17:21.000 --> 00:17:24.000 also -- Elon Musk so it was a forty 00:17:24.000 --> 00:17:26.000 five minute interview that seemed 00:17:26.000 --> 00:17:27.000 pretty long but it went pretty 00:17:27.000 --> 00:17:29.000 fast and what the interview 00:17:29.000 --> 00:17:31.000 was it was back in 2013 00:17:31.000 --> 00:17:34.000 and you know 2013 now is a 00:17:34.000 --> 00:17:37.000 long time ago it seems to me 00:17:37.000 --> 00:17:39.000 seems like it was a long time ago 00:17:39.000 --> 00:17:41.000 and so -- I show this to them 00:17:41.000 --> 00:17:43.000 and said 2013 let's 00:17:43.000 --> 00:17:45.000 just watch it because now you 00:17:45.000 --> 00:17:46.000 need to know background and it 00:17:46.000 --> 00:17:47.000 was great background because 00:17:47.000 --> 00:17:49.000 he started with how he started 00:17:49.000 --> 00:17:51.000 with PayPal it's actually kind 00:17:51.000 --> 00:17:53.000 of funny because he started 00:17:53.000 --> 00:17:54.000 saying I got my bachelor's 00:17:54.000 --> 00:17:56.000 degree maybe this was probably 00:17:56.000 --> 00:17:58.000 wasn't a good thing to to do in an 00:17:58.000 --> 00:17:60.000 under -- undergrad class and then he 00:18:00.000 --> 00:18:02.000 said I didn't go for my masters 00:18:02.000 --> 00:18:05.000 degree I'm like oh shoot maybe that's not 00:18:05.000 --> 00:18:07.000 a good thing to you know to to 00:18:07.000 --> 00:18:09.000 say but he said that instead 00:18:09.000 --> 00:18:11.000 I looked at what was needed 00:18:11.000 --> 00:18:13.000 in the world and then I went 00:18:13.000 --> 00:18:16.000 for it and he said that the 00:18:16.000 --> 00:18:18.000 internet was just starting and 00:18:18.000 --> 00:18:19.000 I can do something with the 00:18:19.000 --> 00:18:21.000 internet so he started PayPal 00:18:21.000 --> 00:18:24.000 it exploded then he had money 00:18:24.000 --> 00:18:26.000 from PayPal and so what did he 00:18:26.000 --> 00:18:29.000 choose to do he became a rocket 00:18:29.000 --> 00:18:31.000 scientist like I out of nowhere 00:18:31.000 --> 00:18:33.000 it would be like me saying oh I'm gonna 00:18:33.000 --> 00:18:36.000 just make a rocket and it's 00:18:36.000 --> 00:18:39.000 really interesting with that 00:18:39.000 --> 00:18:40.000 and Khan Academy was like when 00:18:40.000 --> 00:18:42.000 will we have that by he's like oh that 00:18:42.000 --> 00:18:45.000 will be in a couple years and 00:18:45.000 --> 00:18:46.000 we're like well how you gonna do that 00:18:46.000 --> 00:18:47.000 and he explain how he was going to 00:18:47.000 --> 00:18:51.000 do that then of course Tesla 00:18:51.000 --> 00:18:53.000 and sustainable cars it wasn't 00:18:53.000 --> 00:18:54.000 even self driving cars at that 00:18:54.000 --> 00:18:56.000 point and the guys like well how 00:18:56.000 --> 00:18:58.000 how long will that be you know 00:18:58.000 --> 00:18:60.000 five years something like that 00:19:00.000 --> 00:19:03.000 it happened then -- what what else 00:19:03.000 --> 00:19:06.000 did he do -- oh Mars he wants to 00:19:06.000 --> 00:19:08.000 he does want to go to Mars and 00:19:08.000 --> 00:19:10.000 how is going to pay for it is by selling 00:19:10.000 --> 00:19:13.000 satellite space to corporations 00:19:13.000 --> 00:19:15.000 so here's the controversy of 00:19:15.000 --> 00:19:17.000 the other side of leadership 00:19:17.000 --> 00:19:19.000 is that now people are saying 00:19:19.000 --> 00:19:20.000 that all we'll do is look up 00:19:20.000 --> 00:19:22.000 into the sky and see all of 00:19:22.000 --> 00:19:25.000 his satellites and so that's 00:19:25.000 --> 00:19:26.000 one of the challenges but he 00:19:26.000 --> 00:19:28.000 he also knew through all of 00:19:28.000 --> 00:19:30.000 these things the point would 00:19:30.000 --> 00:19:32.000 be is that he tried he came 00:19:32.000 --> 00:19:35.000 up with ideas and just did it 00:19:35.000 --> 00:19:38.000 and he succeeded and he knew 00:19:38.000 --> 00:19:39.000 he was gonna fail in fact he 00:19:39.000 --> 00:19:42.000 put money millions of dollars 00:19:42.000 --> 00:19:45.000 towards a rocket that exploded 00:19:45.000 --> 00:19:47.000 and it was okay it was okay 00:19:47.000 --> 00:19:48.000 with him to do that because 00:19:48.000 --> 00:19:50.000 he knew that's what was gonna 00:19:50.000 --> 00:19:52.000 happen as I wrote down this 00:19:52.000 --> 00:19:53.000 quote it was for my students I'm 00:19:53.000 --> 00:19:56.000 like this is perfect for today where 00:19:56.000 --> 00:19:59.000 there's a will there's a way 00:19:59.000 --> 00:19:60.000 and meaning that if there are 00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:03.000 people who are willing to do 00:20:03.000 --> 00:20:05.000 something then you'll find a 00:20:05.000 --> 00:20:08.000 way to actually make it happen 00:20:08.000 --> 00:20:10.000 and if you can have people 00:20:10.000 --> 00:20:12.000 invested in that for whatever 00:20:12.000 --> 00:20:14.000 reason that is then it can 00:20:14.000 --> 00:20:17.000 come true and -- you might fail 00:20:17.000 --> 00:20:20.000 you'll learn but it will happen 00:20:20.000 --> 00:20:21.000 as long as you keep going 00:20:21.000 --> 00:20:23.000 learn from it get the right 00:20:23.000 --> 00:20:26.000 people involved and then move 00:20:26.000 --> 00:20:29.000 let me see forward together 00:20:29.000 --> 00:20:30.000 this is your this is your 00:20:30.000 --> 00:20:32.000 slogan right which is funny 00:20:32.000 --> 00:20:34.000 because when I started to be 00:20:34.000 --> 00:20:36.000 an AD at CWU we were 00:20:36.000 --> 00:20:38.000 coming up with the slogan and 00:20:38.000 --> 00:20:40.000 I came up with just -- or no 00:20:40.000 --> 00:20:42.000 no keep moving forward so I'm like 00:20:42.000 --> 00:20:44.000 this is a sign this is great 00:20:44.000 --> 00:20:46.000 forward together keep moving 00:20:46.000 --> 00:20:48.000 forward together -- so that's 00:20:48.000 --> 00:20:51.000 that -- so I love this 00:20:51.000 --> 00:20:54.000 together moving forward and 00:20:54.000 --> 00:20:55.000 that's where this well I keep 00:20:55.000 --> 00:20:57.000 calling umbrella of bringing 00:20:57.000 --> 00:20:60.000 the units together is perfect 00:21:00.000 --> 00:21:04.000 because you are going to move 00:21:04.000 --> 00:21:08.000 together forward sometimes we 00:21:08.000 --> 00:21:09.000 see this what's this look like 00:21:09.000 --> 00:21:11.000 hierarchal right you have a 00:21:11.000 --> 00:21:13.000 dean the dean's gonna tell the 00:21:13.000 --> 00:21:15.000 dean has now three units and 00:21:15.000 --> 00:21:16.000 the deans gonna tell what these 00:21:16.000 --> 00:21:19.000 units are going to do and then 00:21:19.000 --> 00:21:21.000 they're gonna do it probably not 00:21:21.000 --> 00:21:22.000 do it because nobody likes to 00:21:22.000 --> 00:21:24.000 be told what to do and then 00:21:24.000 --> 00:21:25.000 of course we're breaking up the 00:21:25.000 --> 00:21:28.000 centers and -- I know this is 00:21:31.000 --> 00:21:34.000 to see what that was it was 00:21:34.000 --> 00:21:35.000 on the website so I definitely 00:21:35.000 --> 00:21:37.000 included that but we'll see where 00:21:37.000 --> 00:21:38.000 that where that comes where 00:21:38.000 --> 00:21:39.000 that is and that's a great 00:21:39.000 --> 00:21:42.000 question because where will 00:21:42.000 --> 00:21:43.000 all of these centers and the 00:21:43.000 --> 00:21:45.000 sponsored programs and the graduate 00:21:45.000 --> 00:21:46.000 studies all come through 00:21:46.000 --> 00:21:48.000 together I don't particularly 00:21:48.000 --> 00:21:50.000 like this -- hierarchical 00:21:50.000 --> 00:21:54.000 model so I switched it around 00:21:54.000 --> 00:21:55.000 because one of the questions I'm 00:21:55.000 --> 00:21:57.000 getting today is how do you see 00:21:57.000 --> 00:21:60.000 it all overlapping and helping each other 00:22:00.000 --> 00:22:03.000 and so I moved it to pretty circles 00:22:03.000 --> 00:22:06.000 and graduate studies sponsored projects this was 00:22:06.000 --> 00:22:08.000 also interesting for me because 00:22:08.000 --> 00:22:09.000 I've seen both sponsored 00:22:09.000 --> 00:22:12.000 projects and sponsored research 00:22:12.000 --> 00:22:13.000 and I think that's one of the 00:22:13.000 --> 00:22:15.000 things that -- and for all 00:22:15.000 --> 00:22:17.000 of these is as we bring them 00:22:17.000 --> 00:22:19.000 together is to come to the 00:22:19.000 --> 00:22:22.000 identity of what the unit is 00:22:22.000 --> 00:22:24.000 and then what all of these 00:22:24.000 --> 00:22:27.000 units separately are so that 00:22:27.000 --> 00:22:30.000 everyone knows their own brand 00:22:30.000 --> 00:22:32.000 who they serve and how we all 00:22:32.000 --> 00:22:36.000 fit together how transformation 00:22:36.000 --> 00:22:38.000 collaboration innovation can add a 00:22:38.000 --> 00:22:42.000 lot of other words that that 00:22:42.000 --> 00:22:43.000 come up in all these but I 00:22:43.000 --> 00:22:45.000 like these words because they 00:22:45.000 --> 00:22:46.000 do fit me and I think they 00:22:46.000 --> 00:22:48.000 fit the university you'll 00:22:48.000 --> 00:22:49.000 see this a lot I'm gonna 00:22:49.000 --> 00:22:51.000 try to ingrain it to you where 00:22:51.000 --> 00:22:53.000 there's a will there's a way 00:22:53.000 --> 00:22:54.000 graduate studies well I want to 00:22:54.000 --> 00:22:59.000 focus on that first good news yay good news 00:22:59.000 --> 00:22:62.000 student enrollment is increasing 00:23:02.000 --> 00:23:05.000 nationwide right now so one of 00:23:05.000 --> 00:23:06.000 the documents I looked at was 00:23:06.000 --> 00:23:07.000 the -- enrollment management 00:23:07.000 --> 00:23:10.000 plan that that has been created 00:23:10.000 --> 00:23:12.000 of great insight in great 00:23:12.000 --> 00:23:13.000 documents great data that is 00:23:13.000 --> 00:23:16.000 in it and it is correct that 00:23:16.000 --> 00:23:17.000 graduate students enrollment is 00:23:17.000 --> 00:23:19.000 increasing and the -- the 00:23:19.000 --> 00:23:20.000 council of graduate schools 00:23:20.000 --> 00:23:23.000 has confirmed that so when they 00:23:23.000 --> 00:23:26.000 say it it's true usually different 00:23:26.000 --> 00:23:28.000 rates right some people say 00:23:29.000 --> 00:23:31.000 percent other x percent I 00:23:31.000 --> 00:23:33.000 think part of it is that you 00:23:33.000 --> 00:23:35.000 really can't just do it across 00:23:35.000 --> 00:23:37.000 the board for graduate programs 00:23:39.000 --> 00:23:41.000 little bit different offering 00:23:41.000 --> 00:23:42.000 and a little bit different 00:23:42.000 --> 00:23:46.000 potential for profit or staying 00:23:46.000 --> 00:23:49.000 alive or reasoning of we are 00:23:49.000 --> 00:23:51.000 offering a service we're not 00:23:51.000 --> 00:23:53.000 making money but we offer a great 00:23:53.000 --> 00:23:54.000 service that brings students 00:23:54.000 --> 00:23:57.000 here that's a niche -- a niche 00:23:57.000 --> 00:23:60.000 program that there's nowhere 00:24:00.000 --> 00:24:02.000 else in the world the region 00:24:02.000 --> 00:24:04.000 or the state and therefore 00:24:04.000 --> 00:24:06.000 that's why we still exist so 00:24:06.000 --> 00:24:09.000 it's happening enrollment 00:24:09.000 --> 00:24:14.000 is increasing even better news WOU 00:24:14.000 --> 00:24:15.000 Graduate Studies is poised to increase 00:24:15.000 --> 00:24:18.000 enrollment quality of programs 00:24:18.000 --> 00:24:21.000 types of programs and ways 00:24:21.000 --> 00:24:24.000 to deliver them and this was 00:24:24.000 --> 00:24:25.000 great the reason it was great 00:24:25.000 --> 00:24:26.000 that I can figure this out was 00:24:26.000 --> 00:24:29.000 on your website and it's out 00:24:29.000 --> 00:24:32.000 there publicly that these are 00:24:32.000 --> 00:24:33.000 your goals and these are things 00:24:33.000 --> 00:24:35.000 that you can do because you 00:24:35.000 --> 00:24:36.000 have shown that you have done 00:24:36.000 --> 00:24:38.000 it and this all fits into your 00:24:38.000 --> 00:24:41.000 strategic plan so you're poised 00:24:41.000 --> 00:24:42.000 to increase enrollment you're 00:24:42.000 --> 00:24:44.000 ready you're at the cusp 00:24:44.000 --> 00:24:46.000 you are doing this now is 00:24:46.000 --> 00:24:47.000 just -- you know -- you have 00:24:47.000 --> 00:24:49.000 the nudge but that's for 00:24:49.000 --> 00:24:51.000 advising now is the nudge 00:24:51.000 --> 00:24:53.000 to come up with a mission 00:24:53.000 --> 00:24:54.000 specifically for graduate 00:24:54.000 --> 00:24:56.000 studies that's also I'll talk 00:24:56.000 --> 00:24:58.000 about that just a second but 00:24:58.000 --> 00:24:60.000 also goals and objectives 00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:01.000 and also goals and objectives for 00:25:01.000 --> 00:25:04.000 every department -- I'm sorry 00:25:04.000 --> 00:25:05.000 I call them departments you call them 00:25:05.000 --> 00:25:07.000 divisions programs and such 00:25:07.000 --> 00:25:09.000 the quality of the programs 00:25:09.000 --> 00:25:11.000 the types of programs so now 00:25:11.000 --> 00:25:12.000 with your new organizational 00:25:12.000 --> 00:25:15.000 leadership masters and the 00:25:15.000 --> 00:25:18.000 fact that it has -- I wanna say 00:25:18.000 --> 00:25:20.000 twenty did I say -- somewhere 00:25:20.000 --> 00:25:22.000 it filled and that's amazing 00:25:22.000 --> 00:25:24.000 in one year that now it's in 00:25:24.000 --> 00:25:27.000 Salem that it's unheard of 00:25:27.000 --> 00:25:28.000 actually I'm gonna say that's 00:25:28.000 --> 00:25:31.000 pretty incredible that you 00:25:31.000 --> 00:25:33.000 that you actually recruited 00:25:33.000 --> 00:25:35.000 those students within one year 00:25:35.000 --> 00:25:37.000 and it's up and running in 00:25:37.000 --> 00:25:39.000 an external satellite where I 00:25:39.000 --> 00:25:41.000 would call satellite center 00:25:41.000 --> 00:25:43.000 or satellite campus also 00:25:43.000 --> 00:25:45.000 where it's at you're expanding 00:25:45.000 --> 00:25:47.000 it's a new way to deliver your 00:25:47.000 --> 00:25:50.000 seeking a new market also 00:25:50.000 --> 00:25:52.000 the -- courses that are in 00:25:52.000 --> 00:25:53.000 the organizational leadership 00:25:53.000 --> 00:25:55.000 looked at them -- because 00:25:55.000 --> 00:25:57.000 you know me being business -- 00:25:57.000 --> 00:25:59.000 leadership words just go right 00:25:59.000 --> 00:25:61.000 to it and I looked at the 00:26:01.000 --> 00:26:02.000 classes and it's completely 00:26:02.000 --> 00:26:04.000 different than what a college 00:26:04.000 --> 00:26:07.000 of business -- organizational 00:26:07.000 --> 00:26:10.000 leadership program would work 00:26:10.000 --> 00:26:12.000 that was great I looked at 00:26:12.000 --> 00:26:14.000 that and said this is a great 00:26:14.000 --> 00:26:16.000 program because it brings in 00:26:16.000 --> 00:26:19.000 the social sciences not heavy 00:26:19.000 --> 00:26:21.000 on business touches of course 00:26:21.000 --> 00:26:23.000 on business and leadership in 00:26:23.000 --> 00:26:24.000 the organization but there's 00:26:24.000 --> 00:26:25.000 I think there's a class on 00:26:25.000 --> 00:26:27.000 conflict management perhaps 00:26:27.000 --> 00:26:28.000 if I have that right lot 00:26:28.000 --> 00:26:30.000 of psychology in it and it 00:26:30.000 --> 00:26:32.000 touches upon the soft skills 00:26:32.000 --> 00:26:34.000 of organizational leadership 00:26:34.000 --> 00:26:36.000 there's where you're changing your program 00:26:36.000 --> 00:26:37.000 and I think that you have the 00:26:37.000 --> 00:26:40.000 opportunity to keep doing more 00:26:40.000 --> 00:26:43.000 in that place and elsewhere as 00:26:43.000 --> 00:26:45.000 you continue to grow what you would 00:26:45.000 --> 00:26:47.000 have to do is make sure that 00:26:47.000 --> 00:26:49.000 is that program sustainable or 00:26:49.000 --> 00:26:51.000 not is it just great for the 00:26:51.000 --> 00:26:53.000 first year because it's new 00:26:53.000 --> 00:26:56.000 or is it gonna dip down and so 00:26:56.000 --> 00:26:58.000 that's one thing that a dean of 00:26:58.000 --> 00:26:59.000 graduate studies works with the 00:26:59.000 --> 00:26:63.000 department and -- or the college 00:27:03.000 --> 00:27:05.000 their department and everybody else 00:27:05.000 --> 00:27:06.000 and says -- well it worked 00:27:06.000 --> 00:27:08.000 the first time was it just 00:27:08.000 --> 00:27:10.000 a fluke because it was brand 00:27:10.000 --> 00:27:13.000 new or did something happen 00:27:13.000 --> 00:27:15.000 what do we do now -- and this 00:27:15.000 --> 00:27:17.000 is very close to what we do at 00:27:17.000 --> 00:27:19.000 Central now is that we just 00:27:19.000 --> 00:27:21.000 opened a not a center we can't 00:27:21.000 --> 00:27:22.000 call it center because of 00:27:22.000 --> 00:27:24.000 accreditation -- but we call it 00:27:24.000 --> 00:27:26.000 a site and it's in I don't know if you've 00:27:26.000 --> 00:27:28.000 heard of Sammamish Washington 00:27:28.000 --> 00:27:29.000 which is you know Central is in the 00:27:29.000 --> 00:27:30.000 middle of the state Sammamish 00:27:30.000 --> 00:27:32.000 is one of the richest towns 00:27:32.000 --> 00:27:35.000 in Washington and -- most of 00:27:35.000 --> 00:27:39.000 their -- most of the -- parents 00:27:39.000 --> 00:27:42.000 send their kids off to the -- 00:27:42.000 --> 00:27:44.000 most expensive high -- you know 00:27:44.000 --> 00:27:47.000 Yale and every place that 00:27:47.000 --> 00:27:50.000 that costs a lot because they 00:27:50.000 --> 00:27:52.000 actually you know make enough and 00:27:52.000 --> 00:27:53.000 they can send their students 00:27:53.000 --> 00:27:55.000 there -- I don't think they 00:27:55.000 --> 00:27:56.000 need to I think that they could 00:27:56.000 --> 00:27:57.000 send them here and have the 00:27:57.000 --> 00:27:61.000 same equal better quality not better 00:28:01.000 --> 00:28:03.000 didn't say that don't tell them good quality 00:28:03.000 --> 00:28:08.000 education but with -- with our 00:28:08.000 --> 00:28:11.000 program -- in Sammamish was 00:28:11.000 --> 00:28:13.000 I was taking a look at it and of 00:28:13.000 --> 00:28:14.000 course okay so their kids go 00:28:14.000 --> 00:28:16.000 away okay they're going away 00:28:16.000 --> 00:28:19.000 for their bachelor's degree -- 00:28:19.000 --> 00:28:20.000 or their graduate degree their 00:28:20.000 --> 00:28:21.000 and they're not going to come to 00:28:21.000 --> 00:28:25.000 us but who would come to us the 00:28:25.000 --> 00:28:28.000 empty nesters the empty nesters 00:28:28.000 --> 00:28:31.000 moms in particular who may not 00:28:31.000 --> 00:28:34.000 have anything to do anymore and 00:28:34.000 --> 00:28:36.000 so what do I see for graduate 00:28:36.000 --> 00:28:38.000 students are people who want 00:28:38.000 --> 00:28:40.000 to go back to school to move 00:28:40.000 --> 00:28:42.000 up in their jobs find a new 00:28:42.000 --> 00:28:45.000 jobs learn new skills I talk 00:28:45.000 --> 00:28:48.000 with so many -- parents -- 00:28:48.000 --> 00:28:49.000 you know people who have been 00:28:49.000 --> 00:28:52.000 out of school and they're so 00:28:52.000 --> 00:28:54.000 motivated and then they say oh 00:28:54.000 --> 00:28:56.000 my colleagues just wonder why 00:28:56.000 --> 00:28:58.000 I'm getting a master's degree 00:28:58.000 --> 00:28:59.000 and I have to explain this to them 00:28:59.000 --> 00:28:62.000 and I'm like well this is this 00:29:02.000 --> 00:29:03.000 is great that you've taken 00:29:03.000 --> 00:29:06.000 that individual -- motivation to do that 00:29:06.000 --> 00:29:07.000 just real quick ways to deliver 00:29:07.000 --> 00:29:09.000 them online course you know all that 00:29:09.000 --> 00:29:11.000 you've heard of all this 100 00:29:11.000 --> 00:29:13.000 percent online hybrid -- let's 00:29:13.000 --> 00:29:17.000 see -- what else what else you 00:29:17.000 --> 00:29:21.000 do -- oh in class right here 00:29:21.000 --> 00:29:22.000 that's why you have these buildings 00:29:22.000 --> 00:29:25.000 this is your classrooms and that 00:29:25.000 --> 00:29:27.000 the -- shift from classrooms 00:29:27.000 --> 00:29:29.000 is moving now to online for 00:29:29.000 --> 00:29:33.000 many many reasons so -- one of 00:29:33.000 --> 00:29:34.000 the things we did at Central 00:29:34.000 --> 00:29:37.000 Washington -- was to create 00:29:37.000 --> 00:29:38.000 in my department actually 00:29:38.000 --> 00:29:39.000 started it actually I I was 00:29:39.000 --> 00:29:41.000 helping create the the program 00:29:41.000 --> 00:29:43.000 itself was called flex IT 00:29:43.000 --> 00:29:45.000 flex information technology 00:29:45.000 --> 00:29:47.000 which is a competency based 00:29:47.000 --> 00:29:49.000 program where students can go 00:29:49.000 --> 00:29:51.000 as fast as they want or slow 00:29:51.000 --> 00:29:53.000 as they want and that's a whole 00:29:53.000 --> 00:29:56.000 new delivery area pros and 00:29:56.000 --> 00:29:59.000 cons challenges then what else 00:29:59.000 --> 00:29:61.000 micro credentialing 00:30:02.000 --> 00:30:04.000 you have a lot of certificates 00:30:04.000 --> 00:30:05.000 so that's really great -- 00:30:05.000 --> 00:30:06.000 micro credentialing 00:30:06.000 --> 00:30:08.000 which is the buzz word people 00:30:08.000 --> 00:30:12.000 are trying to meet needs make money 00:30:12.000 --> 00:30:14.000 so your credentialing is 00:30:14.000 --> 00:30:17.000 actually worthwhile of high 00:30:17.000 --> 00:30:18.000 quality students will get 00:30:18.000 --> 00:30:20.000 something out of it and then 00:30:20.000 --> 00:30:22.000 go on and use and apply that 00:30:22.000 --> 00:30:25.000 information it's brand new it can 00:30:25.000 --> 00:30:29.000 happen here within a year 00:30:29.000 --> 00:30:31.000 so that is something and I 00:30:31.000 --> 00:30:33.000 know one program has badges 00:30:33.000 --> 00:30:36.000 so that's a whole new way to 00:30:36.000 --> 00:30:37.000 integrate different people 00:30:37.000 --> 00:30:40.000 different parts this is also in 00:30:40.000 --> 00:30:42.000 competition in my STEM area 00:30:42.000 --> 00:30:43.000 is that people can go out and 00:30:43.000 --> 00:30:46.000 just take -- get certified and say 00:30:46.000 --> 00:30:49.000 Cisco and not need an education 00:30:49.000 --> 00:30:51.000 anymore so that's another 00:30:51.000 --> 00:30:54.000 competition with that okay then I said 00:30:54.000 --> 00:30:56.000 I saw the enrollment management 00:30:56.000 --> 00:30:58.000 report and I was thrilled 00:30:58.000 --> 00:30:60.000 thrilled thrilled thrilled to 00:31:00.000 --> 00:31:02.000 see graduate student enrollment 00:31:02.000 --> 00:31:05.000 in it because I haven't seen 00:31:05.000 --> 00:31:07.000 that actually in Central for 00:31:07.000 --> 00:31:09.000 a long time and one of the things I 00:31:09.000 --> 00:31:11.000 do consistently as associate dean 00:31:11.000 --> 00:31:14.000 especially was I advocated 00:31:14.000 --> 00:31:18.000 for more exposure more thought 00:31:18.000 --> 00:31:20.000 more resources for graduate 00:31:20.000 --> 00:31:22.000 studies for graduate students 00:31:22.000 --> 00:31:24.000 from a primarily undergraduate 00:31:24.000 --> 00:31:27.000 university so one of the 00:31:27.000 --> 00:31:28.000 things I was I was just great 00:31:28.000 --> 00:31:30.000 and like all my gosh enrollment 00:31:30.000 --> 00:31:32.000 management remembered 00:31:32.000 --> 00:31:35.000 you this is great and I -- 00:31:35.000 --> 00:31:37.000 it is actually a great thing 00:31:37.000 --> 00:31:38.000 and so this was where I found 00:31:38.000 --> 00:31:40.000 numbers how many students you 00:31:40.000 --> 00:31:42.000 enroll how many numbers -- 00:31:42.000 --> 00:31:44.000 each program enrolls what the 00:31:44.000 --> 00:31:47.000 projections are for -- 00:31:48.000 --> 00:31:50.000 so that was really that was 00:31:50.000 --> 00:31:53.000 great and it aligns with what 00:31:53.000 --> 00:31:55.000 I have done what I can bring 00:31:55.000 --> 00:31:57.000 and some ideas that I can help 00:31:57.000 --> 00:31:60.000 with so -- so these 00:32:00.000 --> 00:32:01.000 are some of the objectives 00:32:01.000 --> 00:32:03.000 and what's next is to create 00:32:03.000 --> 00:32:05.000 the tactics that will actually 00:32:05.000 --> 00:32:07.000 work so market programs 00:32:07.000 --> 00:32:11.000 with potential for high growth 00:32:11.000 --> 00:32:12.000 tricky because if you market specific 00:32:12.000 --> 00:32:15.000 programs you are also getting 00:32:15.000 --> 00:32:17.000 money from specific programs 00:32:17.000 --> 00:32:18.000 and other programs can get 00:32:18.000 --> 00:32:20.000 jealous as well so you know that's a 00:32:20.000 --> 00:32:22.000 little sticky point with that 00:32:24.000 --> 00:32:26.000 that everyone feels equitable 00:32:26.000 --> 00:32:28.000 and if you do that explain to 00:32:28.000 --> 00:32:31.000 them why that this is happening 00:32:31.000 --> 00:32:33.000 develop new programs your 00:32:33.000 --> 00:32:36.000 PhD program that is hopefully 00:32:36.000 --> 00:32:37.000 going to go through that is 00:32:40.000 --> 00:32:41.000 we probably wouldn't have that 00:32:41.000 --> 00:32:43.000 happen here if that happens 00:32:43.000 --> 00:32:46.000 first one right in the state 00:32:46.000 --> 00:32:49.000 in that is just great to bring in 00:32:49.000 --> 00:32:52.000 here a whole nother way to 00:32:52.000 --> 00:32:55.000 bring students here assess cost 00:32:55.000 --> 00:32:57.000 and the feasibility recruitment 00:32:57.000 --> 00:32:59.000 focus on recruitment marketing 00:32:59.000 --> 00:32:61.000 marketing is my this little 00:33:01.000 --> 00:33:02.000 back my brain I think about 00:33:02.000 --> 00:33:05.000 all the time about marketing 00:33:05.000 --> 00:33:06.000 and so it's one of my skills 00:33:06.000 --> 00:33:09.000 that I love and do well with 00:33:09.000 --> 00:33:12.000 so this is -- something that 00:33:12.000 --> 00:33:13.000 you know fits into recruitment in 00:33:13.000 --> 00:33:17.000 different ways and then again 00:33:17.000 --> 00:33:20.000 WOU Salem -- and so I've 00:33:20.000 --> 00:33:23.000 sort of covered that already and then I 00:33:23.000 --> 00:33:28.000 read the graduate studies PLC right 00:33:28.000 --> 00:33:30.000 I came together and came 00:33:30.000 --> 00:33:32.000 up with the three pillars 00:33:32.000 --> 00:33:34.000 of the operating framework 00:33:34.000 --> 00:33:37.000 that is starting -- right now 00:33:37.000 --> 00:33:38.000 started to brainstorm this is what's 00:33:38.000 --> 00:33:40.000 incredible with you all 00:33:40.000 --> 00:33:43.000 you go so fast in a good way 00:33:43.000 --> 00:33:46.000 collaboratively when I see some 00:33:46.000 --> 00:33:47.000 of the -- things come through 00:33:47.000 --> 00:33:49.000 Faculty Senate or the board or 00:33:49.000 --> 00:33:51.000 the provosts council whoever 00:33:51.000 --> 00:33:52.000 has to approve things a lot 00:33:52.000 --> 00:33:55.000 of it said unanimously voted 00:33:55.000 --> 00:33:58.000 forward and in such a quick way 00:33:58.000 --> 00:33:63.000 so this done within months it 00:34:03.000 --> 00:34:06.000 seems and this coming together 00:34:06.000 --> 00:34:07.000 with different coordinators 00:34:07.000 --> 00:34:08.000 different parts of people of the 00:34:08.000 --> 00:34:11.000 university and coming up with 00:34:11.000 --> 00:34:13.000 this we had to do assessment 00:34:13.000 --> 00:34:15.000 for our grad programs I'm on 00:34:15.000 --> 00:34:17.000 the graduate council now and 00:34:17.000 --> 00:34:19.000 I'm on the academic standards 00:34:19.000 --> 00:34:21.000 subcommittee and so we have 00:34:21.000 --> 00:34:22.000 to make sure you know at the 00:34:22.000 --> 00:34:24.000 of course meeting the 00:34:24.000 --> 00:34:26.000 learning objectives and we had 00:34:26.000 --> 00:34:27.000 to write up a report like five 00:34:27.000 --> 00:34:29.000 page report we didn't know how 00:34:29.000 --> 00:34:30.000 to do it we didn't know what 00:34:30.000 --> 00:34:31.000 to put in it we didn't know 00:34:31.000 --> 00:34:33.000 what questions to have -- it 00:34:33.000 --> 00:34:35.000 took about two to three years 00:34:35.000 --> 00:34:38.000 to come up with the right 00:34:38.000 --> 00:34:41.000 assessment tool and we're still 00:34:41.000 --> 00:34:42.000 not sure if it's the right 00:34:42.000 --> 00:34:46.000 assessment tool and we -- you know had 00:34:46.000 --> 00:34:47.000 to tie that to accreditation 00:34:47.000 --> 00:34:48.000 we had to tie it again to our 00:34:48.000 --> 00:34:51.000 student to our student -- to our 00:34:51.000 --> 00:34:53.000 to our strategic plan so 00:34:53.000 --> 00:34:54.000 when I looked at the numbers 00:34:54.000 --> 00:34:56.000 of the enrollment management 00:34:56.000 --> 00:34:58.000 and -- this flips it 00:34:58.000 --> 00:34:61.000 over really this flips it to 00:35:01.000 --> 00:35:05.000 the curriculum and the what 00:35:05.000 --> 00:35:07.000 the content core knowledge 00:35:07.000 --> 00:35:10.000 one of my areas of study is 00:35:10.000 --> 00:35:11.000 the psychosocial development 00:35:11.000 --> 00:35:13.000 of adult online learners well 00:35:13.000 --> 00:35:15.000 that's a really long long title 00:35:19.000 --> 00:35:20.000 the holistic student so what 00:35:20.000 --> 00:35:23.000 knowledge they're gaining and 00:35:25.000 --> 00:35:28.000 their inter personal growth 00:35:28.000 --> 00:35:29.000 so here's your content core 00:35:29.000 --> 00:35:31.000 knowledge and everyone was supposed 00:35:31.000 --> 00:35:33.000 to put in there -- this this 00:35:33.000 --> 00:35:36.000 first one anyway yes everybody did 00:35:40.000 --> 00:35:43.000 so this is great because you're 00:35:43.000 --> 00:35:45.000 just you're trying to see if 00:35:45.000 --> 00:35:47.000 that knowledge is there then 00:35:47.000 --> 00:35:48.000 we go to the applied skills 00:35:48.000 --> 00:35:50.000 very familiar with applied 00:35:50.000 --> 00:35:51.000 skills because that's what my 00:35:51.000 --> 00:35:53.000 department does in a lot of 00:35:53.000 --> 00:35:55.000 our programs at CWU does 00:35:55.000 --> 00:35:57.000 where we teach students 00:35:57.000 --> 00:35:59.000 transferable skills applied 00:35:59.000 --> 00:35:60.000 they go in the workplace 00:36:00.000 --> 00:36:03.000 and they use it and this 00:36:03.000 --> 00:36:04.000 is really great because in 00:36:04.000 --> 00:36:06.000 particular we offer the soft 00:36:06.000 --> 00:36:08.000 skills which isn't what a 00:36:08.000 --> 00:36:09.000 a lot of your programs do go 00:36:09.000 --> 00:36:10.000 back to -- organizational 00:36:10.000 --> 00:36:13.000 leadership and we teach them 00:36:13.000 --> 00:36:14.000 how to communicate and how 00:36:14.000 --> 00:36:17.000 to be a leader and a manager 00:36:17.000 --> 00:36:19.000 and just be that person who 00:36:19.000 --> 00:36:22.000 can apply transferable skills 00:36:22.000 --> 00:36:23.000 so this is great to have 00:36:23.000 --> 00:36:24.000 that because a lot of your 00:36:24.000 --> 00:36:27.000 programs are applied we can 00:36:27.000 --> 00:36:29.000 teach people how to do the tech 00:36:29.000 --> 00:36:31.000 part of it but we can't teach 00:36:31.000 --> 00:36:33.000 them how to communicate and 00:36:33.000 --> 00:36:35.000 that's where apply -- how do you 00:36:35.000 --> 00:36:37.000 apply something once you get 00:36:37.000 --> 00:36:41.000 all this done and then 00:36:41.000 --> 00:36:43.000 dispositions and values I'm excited 00:36:43.000 --> 00:36:44.000 to see where this goes so this 00:36:44.000 --> 00:36:47.000 is this year next year and 00:36:47.000 --> 00:36:52.000 then to -- counting -- few years out and 00:36:52.000 --> 00:36:54.000 I was thinking about it and I 00:36:54.000 --> 00:36:55.000 was thinking well what does that 00:36:55.000 --> 00:36:59.000 mean the exciting part is that 00:36:59.000 --> 00:36:60.000 you get to decide what that 00:37:00.000 --> 00:37:04.000 means and that's really cool it's 00:37:04.000 --> 00:37:06.000 collaborative listening to 00:37:06.000 --> 00:37:08.000 what this is and really what 00:37:08.000 --> 00:37:10.000 does this mean I can come up 00:37:10.000 --> 00:37:12.000 with some ideas but what's great 00:37:12.000 --> 00:37:13.000 is you come into a room like 00:37:13.000 --> 00:37:15.000 this you talk about it you 00:37:15.000 --> 00:37:16.000 collaborate with it you get 00:37:16.000 --> 00:37:18.000 excited to be there you get 00:37:18.000 --> 00:37:20.000 excited to actually be part 00:37:20.000 --> 00:37:23.000 of changing creating the three 00:37:23.000 --> 00:37:25.000 pillars which then interact 00:37:25.000 --> 00:37:27.000 with all the numbers and then 00:37:27.000 --> 00:37:29.000 the budget as well one of the 00:37:29.000 --> 00:37:30.000 things that came out of the 00:37:30.000 --> 00:37:33.000 PLC was creating a mission 00:37:33.000 --> 00:37:35.000 statement for grad studies that 00:37:35.000 --> 00:37:37.000 is a big right that's big for for 00:37:37.000 --> 00:37:39.000 everyone actually where are you going 00:37:39.000 --> 00:37:41.000 where are you now I almost 00:37:41.000 --> 00:37:42.000 gave my undergrad class -- 00:37:42.000 --> 00:37:44.000 today an assignment of go find 00:37:44.000 --> 00:37:45.000 a mission I was going to send 00:37:45.000 --> 00:37:47.000 them to a mission statement 00:37:47.000 --> 00:37:48.000 and then evaluate the mission 00:37:48.000 --> 00:37:50.000 statement by this theory of 00:37:50.000 --> 00:37:51.000 what should be in a mission 00:37:51.000 --> 00:37:53.000 statement and it's kind of 00:37:53.000 --> 00:37:55.000 it's hard to do right because 00:37:55.000 --> 00:37:58.000 Zappos is wow factor mission 00:37:58.000 --> 00:37:60.000 statement and then others 00:38:00.000 --> 00:38:02.000 are more -- they 00:38:02.000 --> 00:38:04.000 include this the -- customer 00:38:04.000 --> 00:38:06.000 so to speak and the employees and -- 00:38:06.000 --> 00:38:08.000 their technology and why they're 00:38:08.000 --> 00:38:10.000 there and ethics and all these 00:38:10.000 --> 00:38:12.000 different things tricky but you 00:38:12.000 --> 00:38:14.000 need something simple to tell 00:38:14.000 --> 00:38:17.000 you why you're there and the 00:38:17.000 --> 00:38:18.000 vision statement of where you 00:38:18.000 --> 00:38:21.000 want to go then part of these 00:38:21.000 --> 00:38:23.000 items of what could we focus 00:38:23.000 --> 00:38:26.000 on hooding ceremony this was what was 00:38:26.000 --> 00:38:27.000 really -- I think 00:38:27.000 --> 00:38:29.000 I put in the bio 'cause I actually saw 00:38:29.000 --> 00:38:32.000 this this is great because I 00:38:32.000 --> 00:38:34.000 did this I started the first 00:38:34.000 --> 00:38:36.000 hooding ceremony at CWU 00:38:36.000 --> 00:38:38.000 and I did this because I 00:38:38.000 --> 00:38:40.000 remember my hooding ceremony 00:38:40.000 --> 00:38:41.000 and it was very special to me 00:38:41.000 --> 00:38:44.000 it was the day I remember for 00:38:44.000 --> 00:38:45.000 the rest of my life remember 00:38:45.000 --> 00:38:47.000 being on stage and now I look at 00:38:47.000 --> 00:38:48.000 the picture I'm like I look really 00:38:48.000 --> 00:38:50.000 like a teenager or something 00:38:50.000 --> 00:38:53.000 back then but it was one of 00:38:53.000 --> 00:38:54.000 the things I really remembered 00:38:54.000 --> 00:38:55.000 so I came back to my dean 00:38:55.000 --> 00:38:57.000 said we should really do this 00:38:57.000 --> 00:38:60.000 he's like no too much work he's a nice 00:39:00.000 --> 00:39:02.000 guy he didn't say it quite 00:39:02.000 --> 00:39:04.000 that way he's like no you know that 00:39:04.000 --> 00:39:05.000 but if you want to do it and 00:39:05.000 --> 00:39:08.000 look at it and so I did 00:39:08.000 --> 00:39:10.000 I went out and what we did we 00:39:10.000 --> 00:39:12.000 did it the first year of the 00:39:12.000 --> 00:39:14.000 implementation of that it was a 00:39:14.000 --> 00:39:17.000 lot of footwork but it happened 00:39:17.000 --> 00:39:20.000 and then what's happening 00:39:20.000 --> 00:39:22.000 now is instead of the hooding 00:39:22.000 --> 00:39:24.000 ceremony they have created the 00:39:24.000 --> 00:39:26.000 hooding commencement ceremony 00:39:26.000 --> 00:39:28.000 kind of boosted up a little bit they 00:39:28.000 --> 00:39:29.000 don't actually walk in the 00:39:29.000 --> 00:39:30.000 undergraduate graduate 00:39:30.000 --> 00:39:34.000 ceremony now -- and also that 00:39:34.000 --> 00:39:36.000 the thing that every time I 00:39:36.000 --> 00:39:37.000 do like a little baby of some 00:39:37.000 --> 00:39:39.000 initiative that I made and 00:39:39.000 --> 00:39:40.000 I hear something really cool 00:39:40.000 --> 00:39:41.000 happened about it then I'm 00:39:41.000 --> 00:39:43.000 like yes this is this is great 00:39:43.000 --> 00:39:44.000 what they did this year was 00:39:44.000 --> 00:39:47.000 actually put the hooding 00:39:47.000 --> 00:39:49.000 commencement ceremony on the 00:39:49.000 --> 00:39:51.000 academic calendar with the 00:39:51.000 --> 00:39:52.000 regular ceremony that's very 00:39:52.000 --> 00:39:54.000 hard I don't know if your 00:39:54.000 --> 00:39:55.000 academic calendar seem easy to 00:39:55.000 --> 00:39:57.000 change sometimes but it takes 00:39:57.000 --> 00:39:59.000 years sometimes to to change 00:39:59.000 --> 00:39:61.000 an academic calendar that was 00:40:01.000 --> 00:40:02.000 the same with the -- symposium 00:40:02.000 --> 00:40:04.000 that I I helped create where 00:40:04.000 --> 00:40:07.000 it wasn't it was small it was 00:40:07.000 --> 00:40:09.000 getting bigger and then all 00:40:09.000 --> 00:40:11.000 of a sudden now it is on the 00:40:11.000 --> 00:40:13.000 academic calendar for two days 00:40:13.000 --> 00:40:15.000 as an academic day where there 00:40:15.000 --> 00:40:17.000 are no classes so everyone goes to 00:40:17.000 --> 00:40:19.000 that symposium which includes 00:40:19.000 --> 00:40:22.000 graduate students which I think 00:40:22.000 --> 00:40:23.000 is also needed and that comes 00:40:23.000 --> 00:40:25.000 back right into the research as 00:40:25.000 --> 00:40:27.000 well and not just research we're 00:40:27.000 --> 00:40:28.000 talking creative activities 00:40:28.000 --> 00:40:31.000 here -- the student walking me around said 00:40:31.000 --> 00:40:32.000 we have a great art program I 00:40:32.000 --> 00:40:34.000 told her my daughter's an art major 00:40:34.000 --> 00:40:35.000 we have a great art program 00:40:37.000 --> 00:40:38.000 have these creative arts that 00:40:38.000 --> 00:40:40.000 sometimes we forget in graduate 00:40:40.000 --> 00:40:41.000 programs and even undergraduate 00:40:41.000 --> 00:40:43.000 programs so bringing that all 00:40:43.000 --> 00:40:45.000 together is interesting as well 00:40:45.000 --> 00:40:48.000 seminars and shared experiences 00:40:48.000 --> 00:40:50.000 so this was I can think of this off 00:40:50.000 --> 00:40:51.000 the top of my head 'cause I just did it 00:40:51.000 --> 00:40:53.000 in the fall well we've been doing it 00:40:53.000 --> 00:40:55.000 for a while but I taught a 00:40:55.000 --> 00:40:57.000 class in our -- program called 00:40:57.000 --> 00:40:59.000 boot camp so it was a two credit class 00:40:59.000 --> 00:40:62.000 where we had specific things 00:41:02.000 --> 00:41:04.000 to introduce graduate students 00:41:04.000 --> 00:41:08.000 to college again right -- 00:41:08.000 --> 00:41:10.000 to the master's program to a graduate 00:41:10.000 --> 00:41:12.000 program and so we had specific 00:41:12.000 --> 00:41:14.000 parts that we introduced 00:41:14.000 --> 00:41:15.000 themselves here's things about 00:41:15.000 --> 00:41:16.000 the university here's things 00:41:16.000 --> 00:41:18.000 about the program here's how 00:41:18.000 --> 00:41:20.000 you survive which was the 00:41:20.000 --> 00:41:24.000 biggest thing and -- mine was 00:41:24.000 --> 00:41:26.000 online so I did zoom sessions 00:41:26.000 --> 00:41:28.000 with each of them so there were 00:41:28.000 --> 00:41:31.000 thirty I had a unit on time management that was 00:41:31.000 --> 00:41:34.000 the biggest thing for students 00:41:34.000 --> 00:41:35.000 I told them in the beginning 00:41:35.000 --> 00:41:37.000 even-- when we go 00:41:37.000 --> 00:41:39.000 out and do the zoom sessions 00:41:39.000 --> 00:41:43.000 for recruiting or -- on on on 00:41:43.000 --> 00:41:45.000 campus recruiting I say Hey 00:41:45.000 --> 00:41:46.000 are you ready for this it's a 00:41:46.000 --> 00:41:48.000 it's a level higher of critical 00:41:48.000 --> 00:41:50.000 analysis much more time you're 00:41:50.000 --> 00:41:52.000 gonna sacrifice something do 00:41:52.000 --> 00:41:54.000 they have the skills needed 00:41:54.000 --> 00:41:56.000 to actually do that when a 00:41:56.000 --> 00:41:57.000 I took a survey and and talked 00:41:57.000 --> 00:41:59.000 with the students are -- I'm so 00:41:59.000 --> 00:41:60.000 stressed I don't know when to 00:42:00.000 --> 00:42:02.000 do something I get home and 00:42:02.000 --> 00:42:04.000 I'm at midnight and I'm trying 00:42:04.000 --> 00:42:05.000 to do this and I give them the 00:42:05.000 --> 00:42:07.000 whole time management you know 00:42:09.000 --> 00:42:12.000 it's samples examples -- besides 00:42:12.000 --> 00:42:14.000 that we also have the graduate 00:42:14.000 --> 00:42:16.000 student association difficult 00:42:16.000 --> 00:42:18.000 because -- online students 00:42:18.000 --> 00:42:19.000 online students cause a 00:42:19.000 --> 00:42:20.000 lot of problems when you're 00:42:20.000 --> 00:42:21.000 trying to get them together 00:42:21.000 --> 00:42:25.000 in the community and also -- 00:42:25.000 --> 00:42:27.000 the library just recently -- 00:42:27.000 --> 00:42:29.000 came in and said we want to do 00:42:31.000 --> 00:42:33.000 welcome welcome welcome walk 00:42:33.000 --> 00:42:35.000 in for graduate students raise 00:42:35.000 --> 00:42:38.000 my hand and said -- I don't know 00:42:38.000 --> 00:42:40.000 if I said it -- I probably 00:42:40.000 --> 00:42:42.000 didn't say as positively like 00:42:42.000 --> 00:42:43.000 you know sometimes that doesn't work 00:42:43.000 --> 00:42:45.000 for online students she's like yes 00:42:45.000 --> 00:42:47.000 do you have a lot I'm like yes we 00:42:47.000 --> 00:42:49.000 have a lot we have sixty she's like 00:42:49.000 --> 00:42:51.000 well we're thinking about it 00:42:51.000 --> 00:42:53.000 like let me help you know -- thinking 00:42:53.000 --> 00:42:55.000 about that regular orientation 00:42:55.000 --> 00:42:56.000 we started as a AD 00:42:56.000 --> 00:42:60.000 we started our orientation -- which 00:43:00.000 --> 00:43:02.000 was in one room where every 00:43:02.000 --> 00:43:05.000 particular unit that students 00:43:05.000 --> 00:43:08.000 need for on campus was around 00:43:08.000 --> 00:43:10.000 so the library -- every, you know, pretty 00:43:10.000 --> 00:43:12.000 much every -- something that 00:43:12.000 --> 00:43:14.000 they could use so that they 00:43:14.000 --> 00:43:15.000 could walk around meet the 00:43:15.000 --> 00:43:17.000 dean meet the staff -- meet 00:43:17.000 --> 00:43:20.000 me -- me just kind 00:43:20.000 --> 00:43:21.000 of going like this and they 00:43:21.000 --> 00:43:23.000 did we did it right before 00:43:23.000 --> 00:43:24.000 convocation I'm not sure if you have 00:43:24.000 --> 00:43:26.000 convocation here where 00:43:26.000 --> 00:43:28.000 new students come in -- the 00:43:28.000 --> 00:43:29.000 first week or two and they're and 00:43:29.000 --> 00:43:31.000 they're they're initiated and 00:43:31.000 --> 00:43:33.000 said welcome to the university 00:43:33.000 --> 00:43:36.000 you're now a student or now 00:43:36.000 --> 00:43:37.000 you're a graduate student 00:43:37.000 --> 00:43:39.000 so we tagged that on again 00:43:39.000 --> 00:43:41.000 online students how do you 00:43:41.000 --> 00:43:45.000 do it again very difficult 00:43:45.000 --> 00:43:47.000 okay so here we are back to 00:43:47.000 --> 00:43:49.000 our circle where there's a 00:43:49.000 --> 00:43:50.000 will there's a way I heard this 00:43:50.000 --> 00:43:52.000 all day there is a will and we 00:43:52.000 --> 00:43:54.000 know the ways you're doing it 00:43:54.000 --> 00:43:57.000 and there are more ways and so 00:43:57.000 --> 00:43:59.000 again this is where we're inter- 00:43:59.000 --> 00:43:63.000 connecting so why sponsored 00:44:03.000 --> 00:44:05.000 projects why is it important 00:44:05.000 --> 00:44:07.000 why do we need to bring them 00:44:07.000 --> 00:44:09.000 together and then really 00:44:09.000 --> 00:44:10.000 focus on them and get them out 00:44:10.000 --> 00:44:14.000 there for faculty students and 00:44:14.000 --> 00:44:17.000 potential funders and understand 00:44:17.000 --> 00:44:19.000 and teach so attracts faculty 00:44:19.000 --> 00:44:21.000 and students -- the best 00:44:21.000 --> 00:44:23.000 faculty and students and just students 00:44:23.000 --> 00:44:24.000 in general because we can make 00:44:24.000 --> 00:44:27.000 students really great students 00:44:27.000 --> 00:44:29.000 change future teachers and 00:44:29.000 --> 00:44:32.000 scientists or if not scientists 00:44:32.000 --> 00:44:33.000 then people who will go out 00:44:33.000 --> 00:44:34.000 into the workplace so much 00:44:34.000 --> 00:44:37.000 way build infrastructure and 00:44:37.000 --> 00:44:40.000 resources service to society 00:44:40.000 --> 00:44:41.000 and staying on the cutting 00:44:41.000 --> 00:44:44.000 edge so any research that 00:44:44.000 --> 00:44:46.000 someone brings in for a grant 00:44:46.000 --> 00:44:48.000 usually it's on the cutting 00:44:48.000 --> 00:44:50.000 edge that's why we're getting 00:44:50.000 --> 00:44:53.000 funding to do something new to 00:44:53.000 --> 00:44:55.000 bring in money specifically to 00:44:55.000 --> 00:44:57.000 stay on the cutting edge bring 00:44:57.000 --> 00:44:59.000 that back in the classroom 00:44:59.000 --> 00:44:60.000 bring that back then into the 00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:04.000 community and then we're on 00:45:04.000 --> 00:45:06.000 a roll again being one of the 00:45:06.000 --> 00:45:08.000 first universities in this 00:45:08.000 --> 00:45:09.000 particular place that's doing 00:45:09.000 --> 00:45:12.000 something innovative and then 00:45:12.000 --> 00:45:14.000 faculty then fund -- projects 00:45:14.000 --> 00:45:16.000 of interest this is where -- 00:45:16.000 --> 00:45:18.000 the pre words we were talking 00:45:18.000 --> 00:45:21.000 about -- finding why why how 00:45:21.000 --> 00:45:23.000 do we get you know faculty involved 00:45:23.000 --> 00:45:24.000 in doing this they have to 00:45:24.000 --> 00:45:26.000 be interested in doing it at 00:45:26.000 --> 00:45:29.000 first what interests me what 00:45:29.000 --> 00:45:33.000 interests another person so 00:45:33.000 --> 00:45:35.000 one of the things I did was 00:45:35.000 --> 00:45:37.000 I didn't get the grant -- but 00:45:37.000 --> 00:45:39.000 I put in a grant for -- and 00:45:39.000 --> 00:45:43.000 during -- class so it was like 00:45:43.000 --> 00:45:45.000 a small grant from -- NIH 00:45:45.000 --> 00:45:47.000 I think for what is 00:45:47.000 --> 00:45:50.000 happiness class and I didn't 00:45:50.000 --> 00:45:52.000 get it but I still did the 00:45:52.000 --> 00:45:54.000 class even afterwards but that 00:45:54.000 --> 00:45:57.000 was like one of my passions I 00:45:57.000 --> 00:45:59.000 just was like Elon Musk like I 00:45:59.000 --> 00:45:60.000 just kind of made that up it was 00:46:00.000 --> 00:46:02.000 like before the huge you know what 00:46:02.000 --> 00:46:03.000 is happiness everyone does you 00:46:03.000 --> 00:46:05.000 know the class now but it was 00:46:05.000 --> 00:46:08.000 something of my interest and 00:46:08.000 --> 00:46:09.000 I also wonder sometime in my 00:46:09.000 --> 00:46:11.000 department in STEM and IT 00:46:11.000 --> 00:46:12.000 management we don't 00:46:12.000 --> 00:46:14.000 collaborate with the CS 00:46:14.000 --> 00:46:15.000 which is the program part of 00:46:15.000 --> 00:46:17.000 it and we're trying to do that 00:46:17.000 --> 00:46:18.000 now and that's another thing 00:46:18.000 --> 00:46:19.000 we talked about what how to 00:46:19.000 --> 00:46:21.000 bring these these bring this 00:46:21.000 --> 00:46:23.000 together is the collaboration 00:46:23.000 --> 00:46:25.000 among people among different 00:46:25.000 --> 00:46:28.000 departments different divisions 00:46:28.000 --> 00:46:30.000 and making sure that they that 00:46:30.000 --> 00:46:33.000 a dean and our staff and anyone 00:46:33.000 --> 00:46:35.000 who has done a grant before 00:46:35.000 --> 00:46:37.000 can come together and say you 00:46:37.000 --> 00:46:38.000 would be great working with 00:46:38.000 --> 00:46:40.000 you and I know you don't know 00:46:40.000 --> 00:46:42.000 each other but I know 00:46:42.000 --> 00:46:44.000 this grant and then we get 00:46:44.000 --> 00:46:46.000 our staff to help to reach out 00:46:46.000 --> 00:46:50.000 and then that becomes exciting 00:46:50.000 --> 00:46:52.000 and that's what you need someone to be excited 00:46:52.000 --> 00:46:55.000 about writing a grant -- excited 00:46:55.000 --> 00:46:58.000 about writing a grant right you have to 00:46:58.000 --> 00:46:59.000 get by -- and well you have to 00:46:59.000 --> 00:46:60.000 get them excited you have to 00:47:00.000 --> 00:47:02.000 teach them how to do it you 00:47:02.000 --> 00:47:05.000 have to to be able to have 00:47:09.000 --> 00:47:12.000 work that goes through here we go 00:47:12.000 --> 00:47:13.000 back this is still sponsored 00:47:13.000 --> 00:47:15.000 projects brought back in the 00:47:15.000 --> 00:47:17.000 transformation collaboration 00:47:17.000 --> 00:47:19.000 innovation and what what I 00:47:19.000 --> 00:47:21.000 do so one of the -- questions 00:47:21.000 --> 00:47:22.000 from the committee what would 00:47:22.000 --> 00:47:24.000 you do in your first two weeks 00:47:24.000 --> 00:47:26.000 and I said well I'm sure I wouldn't get any 00:47:26.000 --> 00:47:28.000 sleep kind of at the end but 00:47:28.000 --> 00:47:30.000 I would come in and assess and 00:47:30.000 --> 00:47:32.000 I know that assess again is 00:47:32.000 --> 00:47:34.000 kind of a scary word for a lot 00:47:34.000 --> 00:47:36.000 of people -- but I don't mean 00:47:36.000 --> 00:47:38.000 assessment again as that I would 00:47:38.000 --> 00:47:41.000 listen and observe everyone 00:47:41.000 --> 00:47:43.000 current offices of every unit 00:47:43.000 --> 00:47:46.000 and take a look -- their services 00:47:46.000 --> 00:47:47.000 and their historical funding get 00:47:47.000 --> 00:47:49.000 to know what's happening think 00:47:49.000 --> 00:47:52.000 of what could possibly be ask 00:47:52.000 --> 00:47:53.000 everyone where do you want to 00:47:53.000 --> 00:47:55.000 be -- at the end of this is 00:47:55.000 --> 00:47:56.000 like where you want to be on 00:47:56.000 --> 00:47:58.000 that score card what do you 00:47:58.000 --> 00:47:60.000 want you to be known for and 00:48:00.000 --> 00:48:02.000 what do you want to do because 00:48:02.000 --> 00:48:03.000 if you want to do it there's 00:48:03.000 --> 00:48:05.000 a will there's a way and then 00:48:05.000 --> 00:48:07.000 create and solidify a new 00:48:09.000 --> 00:48:10.000 think that has to happen for 00:48:10.000 --> 00:48:11.000 not only the overall unit but for 00:48:14.000 --> 00:48:16.000 ties to the university union 00:48:16.000 --> 00:48:18.000 very difficult in a way -- 00:48:18.000 --> 00:48:20.000 but at least that each unit 00:48:20.000 --> 00:48:22.000 can now have its own 00:48:22.000 --> 00:48:25.000 identity under one particular 00:48:25.000 --> 00:48:27.000 division professional development 00:48:27.000 --> 00:48:28.000 faculty and staff and students 00:48:28.000 --> 00:48:32.000 is needed in general what a 00:48:32.000 --> 00:48:35.000 sponsored programs does to 00:48:35.000 --> 00:48:38.000 help -- get people inspired 00:48:38.000 --> 00:48:39.000 is recognition such an easy 00:48:39.000 --> 00:48:42.000 thing so and so got this grant 00:48:42.000 --> 00:48:44.000 and what we do is we 00:48:44.000 --> 00:48:47.000 send out a list every month of 00:48:47.000 --> 00:48:49.000 every person who got a grant 00:48:49.000 --> 00:48:51.000 there's like five or six of 00:48:51.000 --> 00:48:53.000 them every month and that's -- 00:48:53.000 --> 00:48:54.000 and then we have a ceremony 00:48:54.000 --> 00:48:56.000 for them which is pretty new so 00:48:56.000 --> 00:48:58.000 that does two things it makes 00:48:58.000 --> 00:48:59.000 the person feel valued that they 00:48:59.000 --> 00:48:61.000 actually did that that you know 00:49:01.000 --> 00:49:02.000 they did the hard work they 00:49:02.000 --> 00:49:04.000 earned that work and then also 00:49:04.000 --> 00:49:05.000 people look at it and say oh 00:49:05.000 --> 00:49:06.000 you know what the project looks 00:49:06.000 --> 00:49:08.000 really cool or I'm going to go 00:49:08.000 --> 00:49:10.000 talk to the person who received 00:49:10.000 --> 00:49:12.000 that grant and figure out 00:49:12.000 --> 00:49:16.000 how they did it and 00:49:16.000 --> 00:49:18.000 brings people together create 00:49:18.000 --> 00:49:19.000 a culture of grant writing I 00:49:19.000 --> 00:49:21.000 can say create a culture of 00:49:21.000 --> 00:49:23.000 everything create a culture 00:49:23.000 --> 00:49:24.000 of graduate studies create a 00:49:24.000 --> 00:49:26.000 culture of of grant writing 00:49:26.000 --> 00:49:28.000 create a culture of the 00:49:28.000 --> 00:49:32.000 combined and separate -- missions 00:49:32.000 --> 00:49:35.000 and actions of your centers 00:49:35.000 --> 00:49:40.000 and then the end is left open 00:49:40.000 --> 00:49:43.000 then The Research Institute 00:49:43.000 --> 00:49:45.000 again where there's a will there's a 00:49:45.000 --> 00:49:47.000 way same thing assessment of 00:49:47.000 --> 00:49:48.000 each center what I would like to 00:49:48.000 --> 00:49:50.000 do would be -- to follow the 00:49:50.000 --> 00:49:52.000 centers around the people who 00:49:52.000 --> 00:49:53.000 are in the centers I would pop in 00:49:53.000 --> 00:49:55.000 the office I wouldn't do that 00:49:55.000 --> 00:49:56.000 scare you round the corner but 00:49:56.000 --> 00:49:59.000 I would like to know more about 00:49:59.000 --> 00:49:61.000 them because they're very unique 00:50:01.000 --> 00:50:03.000 they're very productive they're 00:50:03.000 --> 00:50:05.000 not recognized and this is 00:50:05.000 --> 00:50:07.000 one of the things that you'd have to 00:50:07.000 --> 00:50:09.000 teach me more about I like the 00:50:09.000 --> 00:50:11.000 management by walking around 00:50:11.000 --> 00:50:14.000 style by coming in making an 00:50:14.000 --> 00:50:16.000 appointment take me around take 00:50:16.000 --> 00:50:19.000 me to your -- your school that 00:50:19.000 --> 00:50:21.000 you go into meet the people 00:50:21.000 --> 00:50:23.000 so that I can see how you're 00:50:23.000 --> 00:50:25.000 interacting and what you're 00:50:25.000 --> 00:50:27.000 doing and then get a better idea of 00:50:27.000 --> 00:50:29.000 it create solidify same 00:50:29.000 --> 00:50:32.000 thing and advocate this goes 00:50:32.000 --> 00:50:34.000 for all of them additional 00:50:34.000 --> 00:50:37.000 resources all the time it's 00:50:37.000 --> 00:50:41.000 what I am very big about so 00:50:41.000 --> 00:50:42.000 here's the question the empty 00:50:42.000 --> 00:50:44.000 the empty question it's the question 00:50:44.000 --> 00:50:46.000 for you because this is it 00:50:46.000 --> 00:50:48.000 where are you on the strategic 00:50:48.000 --> 00:50:52.000 planning scorecard where can 00:50:52.000 --> 00:50:54.000 you fit in where do you want to 00:50:54.000 --> 00:50:57.000 be on that strategic scorecard 00:50:57.000 --> 00:50:59.000 if you if you haven't looked 00:50:59.000 --> 00:50:60.000 at your strategic scorecard it's really 00:51:00.000 --> 00:51:04.000 cool I mean it's oops it's -- 00:51:04.000 --> 00:51:06.000 I'm amazed by where it is I'm 00:51:06.000 --> 00:51:08.000 also amazed at the level of 00:51:08.000 --> 00:51:13.000 transparency of the scorecard 00:51:13.000 --> 00:51:15.000 and then your question this is 00:51:15.000 --> 00:51:16.000 your question you don't have answer that 00:51:16.000 --> 00:51:18.000 right now but think about it 00:51:18.000 --> 00:51:20.000 how can graduate studies and 00:51:20.000 --> 00:51:23.000 research get there or any other 00:51:23.000 --> 00:51:26.000 way to meet your mission questions 00:51:29.000 --> 00:51:30.000 okay thanks bye
