Efforts Made to Respond To District
Governing Board Directives
In spring
2004, the District Governing Board requested that the College make efforts in
three areas to address security, occupancy, and “quality of life” concerns at
the residence hall. What follows is a
brief summary of efforts made to address each of those three concerns.
Security A
full time Residence Hall Supervisor was hired for the 2004-2005 academic
year. The existing part time position
was retitled Residence Hall Assistant and retained to provide 24-7 supervisory
coverage of the residence hall.
Occupancy NPC
promoted the Eagle Heights Residence Hall using seven basic strategies in
summer/fall 2004.
·
¼
page ads promoting the residence hall appeared in the summer, fall, and spring
registration schedules
·
Posters
and fliers regarding the residence hall were placed at NPC sites and delivered
to counselors in service area high schools
·
Admissions
made the residence hall a focal point of recruiting visits to service area high
schools
·
The
residence hall is highlighted on the NPC home page
·
A
residence hall web page was developed, including an online application,
information regarding costs and amenities, and contact information for the
Residence Hall Supervisor
·
The
Residence Hall Supervisor made visits to campuses and centers during fall and
spring registration to promote the residence hall to incoming students
·
Student
Services staff were briefed on the importance of promoting residence hall
occupancy and were asked to make student awareness of the facility a point of
emphasis
Quality
of Life $5,000 new budget dollars were moved in to the
residence hall budget for student activities.
These dollars have been used to fund cookouts at the residence hall,
assist students with short –term financial issues, and purchase materials for
use in improving the general living experience of students at the facility.
A RFP was
put forth in late spring 2004 requesting bids to provide food service for
students at the residence hall. Only one
bid was received. The Vice Presidents
for Administration and Student Services agreed that the received bid was
unacceptable. The bid required students
to travel to Jerry’s Restaurant for all meals.
It did not adequately serve students in terms of convenience, cost, or
nutrition. No food service is currently
available at the residence hall.
