项目描述

The AGS Program recruited a new full-time faculty member in the fall of 2018.  农业科学计划的定位是成长与两名全职教师.  AGS计划目前的重点是为学生提供农业科学的基础知识, including coursework in soil science, 植物科学, animal science and pest management.  确定的增长领域包括实施校园农场，为我们的学生服务.  该农场将提供与本地区农业相关的真实世界经验.

Student Learning/Administrative Unit Outcomes

Students need to be in face to face labs within the agricultural sciences.

Standards/Goals for Student Achievement (Instruction Departments)



Our FTES seems to be holding fairly steady.


 




Our success and retention rates are above the college average.

Standards/Goals for Student Achievement (All Other Departments)

作为一个部门，我们正在努力招聘和营销我们的项目和整个学院，以增加入学率.

战略方向

我们已经开始精简课程设置，为学生的成功提供明确的途径.

Strategy 4 - Increase number of paid work study students

Increase the allocation of federal work study dollars. 这些钱被用来临时雇用学生助理，并为我们的高级学生提供宝贵的实践经验.

One thing all agriculturalists pride themselves on is their real-world, 地面部队, 实践经验. We want to give our students as many of these opportunities as we can, and offer paid work experience positions to students. These positions include both farm and ag science student workers.


倡议
  • Enhancing a Culture of Completion and Goal Achievement
