introduction The University of Texas at El Paso is distinguished for its achievements and success throughout its history thanks to dedicated students striving for • Higher education without having to leave far from home • The opportunity to be a part of a diverse community
Program • We will be discussing : • The history, development, and growth of the company • The company’s state vision, mission, and goal • The SWOT analysis • The nature of company’s communication strategy • Explanation of current communication challenge - Specific recommendations for action • Our proposed solution to the challenge • Critical concerns • Persuasive conclusion • Ending
The history, development, and growth of the company • The University of Texas at EL Paso, known as UTEP, was founded in 1914 as the University State School of Mines and Metallurgy. • Built from the ground up, the university expanded to include liberal arts programs and later on the creation of the Engineering-Science complex and the college of nursing. • The student body has grown to more than 22,000 students. the university has a variety of degrees to offer, consisting of 70 bachelors, 75 masters, and 19 doctoral degrees. • Thanks to dedications and hard work, the university was ranked #12 among the best universities in the nation in 2012, study done by the Washington Monthly magazine.
The company’s stated vision, mission, and goal • VISION: • Commitment to providing quality higher education to a diverse student body and to extend the educational opportunities offered to students to enhance the college experience and take away using the unique resource the El Paso region has to offer. • MISSION: • Dedication to the advancement of the El Paso region through education, artistic productions, generation of key discoveries, cultural and socioeconomic development, and dissemination of knowledge. • GOALS: • To prepare UTEP students with the best education possible, create opportunities for intellectual growth, create business relationships, and support efficient administrative and staff services.
Nature of company’s communication strategy • We consider student tutor unprepared to give support to other students effectively, therefore a program like “No Student Left Behind” is needed. We target: • Students. they are the ones being affected and taking a poll would be proof for their support. • Professors or professionals. Getting their support by talking to them one by one would prove for support for the base of the program, that being qualified tutors. • UTEP’s president. Such program will generate changes all over the university. by bring the finalized proposal to the president, a more direct action can be taken.
Explanation of the communication challenge • Insufficient tutors available for upper level classes • When student tutors available, they don’t have enough experience or credentials to teach proficiently • Tutoring schedule does not accommodate student work, school, or internship schedule • Tutoring sessions are not long enough, sessions only last 90 minutes
Specific recommendations for action, including a communication strategy that indicates how to communicate the solution to all who are affected by the recommendations (the stakeholders) and explains why this strategy is the best action to take.
Our proposed solution to the challenge • Hire professional tutors that can teach multiple subjects • Fund the tutoring services by raising tuition costs • Make the tutoring facility open to all students and at times that everyone could take advantage of these services • Hiring retired educators or professionals in the required fields can help prepare for their jobs after graduation
Identification and rank ordering of the critical issues or concerns that a solution must address. These will probably focus on the needs and concerns of stakeholders • We ask that our school takes the initiative to invest in our education by hiring professional tutors with the proper credentials and experienced backgrounds to guide those students who have fallen behind, need help or simply want to get ahead in the course. The sole purpose of going to a university is to attend an institute of higher education and what better way of getting a higher education when the students can take advantage of a fine tutoring program designed to push for a better learning
A sales or persuasive conclusion with a call to action • We as the student voice believe that the “No Student Left Act” is exactly what ever student needs at least once in their college experience. Tutoring on campus in every level of subject is a necessity. The university is responsible for the performance of every scholar; it is their duty to ensure the proper education and skills so that students can meet the academic requirement for graduation.
