00:00:05.000 --> 00:00:07.000
and administrative management

00:00:07.000 --> 00:00:10.000

00:00:16.000 --> 00:00:18.000
for our Masters of Science

00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:19.000

00:00:19.000 --> 00:00:21.000
Administrative Management and have

00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:23.000

and Research for three years

00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:28.000
prior to that I've also taken a lot

00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:30.000
of other leadership roles --

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:33.000
into across the university

00:00:33.000 --> 00:00:34.000
including the Director of

Undergraduate Research --

00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:39.000
undergraduate research and --

00:00:39.000 --> 00:00:40.000
I've been asked if you could

00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:42.000
hold your questions to the end

00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:44.000
at the end -- and then we can

00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:48.000
writing them down and throw

00:00:48.000 --> 00:00:50.000
at me let's see how we go --

00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:53.000
I would like to see if you can

00:00:53.000 --> 00:00:55.000
show me a a by hands just to

00:00:55.000 --> 00:00:57.000
see who's here today and I'm

00:00:57.000 --> 00:00:58.000
really impressed with who's

00:00:58.000 --> 00:00:60.000
here today in the number so

00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:01.000
thank you for coming -- as

00:01:01.000 --> 00:01:03.000
I mentioned some of the other

00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:04.000
meetings -- this shows that you

00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:06.000
care and that this is a really

00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:08.000
great opportunity for the

00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:10.000
university and for you to make

00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:13.000
a new leap for the university

00:01:13.000 --> 00:01:15.000
and it is a great way to bring

00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:17.000
everything together to meet

00:01:17.000 --> 00:01:19.000
the mission strategic plan

00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:21.000
and -- just to be I don't want to say

00:01:21.000 --> 00:01:23.000
be happy but also enjoy your

00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:26.000
job which means enjoy having

00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:29.000
the students be here as well

00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:31.000
so back to my question how if

00:01:31.000 --> 00:01:32.000
you could raise your hand if

00:01:32.000 --> 00:01:37.000
you're a faculty member great okay

00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:39.000
thank you and -- I'll pick on

00:01:39.000 --> 00:01:41.000
the I should have asked picking

00:01:41.000 --> 00:01:45.000
on the administrators first oh look

00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:49.000
wow that's great -- staff

00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:50.000
that's great too this is

00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:52.000
great this is such a diverse

00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:57.000
group I love it any students

00:01:57.000 --> 00:01:58.000
can someone grab someone from

00:01:58.000 --> 00:01:61.000
the hallway bring them right

00:02:01.000 --> 00:02:04.000
on okay I'm going to get

00:02:04.000 --> 00:02:06.000
started I do usually move a

00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:08.000
lot I do teach in class as well

00:02:11.000 --> 00:02:14.000
as as a rigid probably --

00:02:14.000 --> 00:02:16.000
to remind myself not to move

00:02:16.000 --> 00:02:17.000
so please let me know if I am

00:02:17.000 --> 00:02:20.000
moving too much with the camera

00:02:20.000 --> 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
