Weekly Newsletter, August 1
Happy Friday.
First-day registration numbers were down a little from last year; however, the registration area is still very busy, so we'll see how the numbers play out over the next few weeks. There will be some impact from the video gaming program moving into credit. We will just have to watch and see how that plays out. There are some exciting new programs in the development stage and that will help to improve registration numbers over the next semester.
Be sure that your calendar has the All CE Retreat listed for August 15th. We will be at the Eastview Campus. Lots of people have been working really hard on this event. I think it will be a great time for everyone.
I am sure that you are all aware by now that the budget for the next year has been passed by the ACC Board of Trustees and there is a 4% raise across the board for employees.
Another date to remember is August 22nd for College-wide Assembly, which will be held at the Hyatt Regency hotel. Linda Morrison will be recognized for 35 years of service. I believe that Dr. Kinslow's slide show is one not to be missed this year as we celebrate ACC's 35th anniversary.
Plans continue for the first phase of the new Round Rock campus. I have been very pleased with the support and understanding that the architects have shown for Continuing Education. They want to be sure the space is designed for us and for our needs. This is the first time that CE has been so recognized for our uniqueness and importance to the college mission. I am really encouraged by their questions and desire to "get it right"!
Stay cool and have a great weekend.
