Accomplishments
Dr. Walters met with Tom and Sam regarding the proposed changes to the College’s
advising model. He then debriefed with Bev and discussed the impact on the grant.
Worked through Tom P and Edmund to create a report in Report Manager for advisors to
use (if they so desire) on a regular basis for Mediated Course Drop. It notes the student,
course dropped, reason for drop, contact information, assigned advisor, and date. If
advisors choose to use it, they could pull up their list of advisees (by date range, so could
be done daily, or weekly, or any time interval), and the advisors could then contact any
student during that time span regarding changes to their academic plan. Bev asked Monica
to discuss this at their SSTC meeting and will follow-up with her on advisor comments.
She also sent it to the liaisons and deans/asst. deans.
Followed up with Dr. Timberlake and Brandel about transitioning advisees in BIT to
faculty.

be done daily, or weekly, or any time interval), and the advisors could then contact any
student during that time span regarding changes to their academic plan. Bev asked Monica

She also sent it to the liaisons and deans/asst. deans.

Worked with Dr. Reed and other consortium members to prepare proposal submitted for new
Northeast Ohio Tech Prep Region.
We received word from the Ohio Department of Higher Education that we have been
awarded $297,589 for FY 19 Choose Ohio First Scholarships. This is about $99,000 more
than we received in FY 18.
In awarding scholarships, the first priority should be for scholars awarded Choose Ohio First
funding in the previous academic year (FY 18). Once continuing scholars awards are assured,
North Central State College may enroll a new Choose Ohio First cohort in 2018-2019. These
scholarships are for students majoring in certain STEMM areas including: Bioscience,
