The second Systems Portfolio 

On time and on budget. That's the word from the nine teams writing the new Systems Portfolio, the college's 125-page accreditation report.
 

The new portfolio - a complete rewrite of the 2009 original - is due to the Higher Learning Commission (HLC) by November 1, 2013. It answers approximately 140 questions about Columbus State's Processes, Results and Improvements in nine organizational categories. Also embedded in the questions is evidence to demonstrate that Columbus State meets the five Criteria of accreditation.

The nine three-person teams - two faculty members/one staff – lead by Project Managers Antoinette Perkins, Ingrid Emch and Bruce Massis will wrap up their initial reports by the end of May. Especially important in this update are data-supported outcomes – how we measure what we say we do and design improvements accordingly.

The nine teams :
1 Judith Anderson, Laurie Johns, Adam Moskowitz - Helping Students Learn
2 Nancy Case, Scott Millsap, Irene Petten - Accomplishing other Distinctive Objectives
3 David Tom, Ellen Stadler, Marisa Vernon - Understanding Students' and Other Stakeholders' Needs
4 T.J. Duda, Diana Fidelibus, Lori McKenzie- Valuing People
5 Mary Ernsberger, Patricia Opong, Mike Wright - Leading and Communicating
6 Ann Palazzo, Erica Swarts, Rhonda Ward - Supporting Organizational Operations
7 Sue Donohue, Jim Hamberg, Paul Graves - Measuring Effectiveness
8 Darrin Albaugh, Julia Shew, Brad Trimble - Planning Continuous Improvement
9 Cheryl Hay, Tracy Koski, Amy Ng - Building Collaborative Relationships

The first Systems Portfolio

In November 2009, Columbus State Community College submitted its first Systems Portfolio to the Academic Quality Improvement Program (AQIP) of the Higher Learning Commission. The Systems Portfolio provides a 100 page 'snapshot'of CSCC's processes and data as of summer 2009.

In April 2010 AQIP reviewers responded to our Portfolio with their Appraisal Feedback Report.  It includes the observations and recommendations of the AQIP team.
