Monterey Rotary Club February 1, 2007
New President – New Horizons • He’s MPC’s 9th president since 1947 • He’s been there for six months now • But,…
A Checkered Past • 1973-74 SFCC; SFSU; Upward Bound • 1974-1990 College of the Desert • 1982-1983 Childwall Hall FE • 1990-1994 Southwestern College • 1994-2006 Santa Rosa Junior College
So, what’s your plan? • First, get to know the institution & community • Listen, listen, listen • Focus initially on the highlighted areas in the S/P announcement • Campus relations • Enrollment • Community relations
Campus Relations • “ Inspire trust and confidence of the campus community and subscribe to a transparent administration.” • “Respect, value, and be committed to the utilization of shared governance.” • “Support an environment that encourages teamwork.” • “Value and actively pursue diversity.”
Enrollment • “The S/P has the challenge to promote a plan that will maintain and increase enrollment.” • “Balance the educational mission of the College with the economic realities.” • “Develop and communicate a vision that anticipates the needs of MPC and moves the College forward.”
Community Relations • “Foster a positive image of MPC by actively representing the College in the community” • “The S/P will need to be active in support of the Foundation and in finding new sources of revenue.”
Some Information on MPC Students • 16,000 students- 8,000 on campus & 8,000 off campus • Varied goals – 23% seek transfer; 33% seek occupational training; 29% seek life-long learning; 15% have other interests • 30% are 50+ & 30% have a BA or higher • 38% are non-credit students • 100 annual transfers to UC; 200 to CSU; 500 degrees and certificates annually
Economic Impact • $39 million annual budget; plus $8.8 million in construction • 335 f/t employees; 230-300 p/t • 86.1% devoted to salaries & benefits • 98% of income is from enrollment • MPC generates more than $60 million in annual regional economic activity
Challenges & Opportunities • Credit enrollment has declined and HS graduates are expected to decline • New enrollments must recognize changed demographics & meet employer needs • Operations must reflect a client perspective and greater efficiency • Offerings must have regional impact and present MPC as a destination
More Challenges & Opportunities • Ft. Ord Education Center offers new enrollment but will require careful planning and dedicated resources • “Collaboratives” need to be developed between educational institutions • Greater attention must be given to MPC’s role in economic development • We must be more effective at telling MPC’s story
