Progress Report on AY 2018/19 Goals
Under new leadership, CEHHS is re-examining our existing strategic plan (concludes in 2020) and will soon begin the process of strategic planning for the future. This future strategic planning process will shape new college-wide priorities and goals around which this annual report will be framed.
Current CEHHS Goals:
1. Secure resources to support capacity building, hiring, and accreditation. Steward the budget and lead through shared governance in alignment with faculty programming.
Progress:
In AY 18/19, CEHHS made considerable effort to steward the budget and lead through shared governance. We offered a “state-of-the-budget” overview to all college faculty and staff and worked with our Leadership Council and Budget Planning and Advisory Council to define the working parameters of CEHHS shared governance. We assisted CEHHS programs funded by Extended Learning to understand and begin to implement the planning and budgeting processes under the new EL MoU. This coincided with the disaggregated budgetary spending between Extended Learning and State-side funds. Additional progress was made on the following accreditation activities:
• The Public Health program made steady progress in their quest to acquire professional accreditation with the Council on Education of Public Health (CEPH).
• Social Work has prepared documentation for their upcoming Council on Social Work Education (CSWE) accreditation reaffirmation report due August 1, 2019 and
accompanying site visit in February 2020.

• Nursing submitted the 5-year Accreditation Report (update) for CCNE in Spring 2019. • CEHHS Student Services supported the Annual Program Student Learning Outcomes Assessment for 14 CEHHS degree programs.
2. Ensure student success by providing, maintaining, and expanding infrastructure, resources, and support for conducting research, developing and delivering innovative curriculum, and advising students. Promote and celebrate student achievement.
Progress:
In AY 18/19, CEHHS allocated funds for several key initiatives that were of value to the college including the Student Success Grants ($5,000.00); Interdisciplinary Grants ($20,000.00), and Professional Development ($81,000) for college faculty and staff.
