Message from the President

Dear College Community:

Once again, we have completed another successful year as the commu-nity college for the Southern Alleghenies, and our growth has been sig-nificant. We are rapidly approaching the 2,000 full-time-equivalent (FTE) enrollment mark for credit students, and our continuing education department is now a multi-dimensional and entrepreneurial enterprise that’s destined to be a significant source of revenue. Our Somerset and Huntingdon Centers have grown better than our plans projected, and the Ebensburg Center has been transformed from ‘money pit’ to money-maker. The Blair County Center has tripled its enrollment from last Fall to this Fall. Our focus is shifting from growing our service area to grow-ing our campuses. I would like to see us reach 2,500 FTE before my re-tirement some two to four years from now.

We have become a prime economic development engine for Cambria County, bringing more than $13 million through our own operations. The overall economic impact we have on the region is in excess of $50 million due to the increased level of employment and financial stability of our graduates, most of whom remain in our area after graduation.

We have done a lot to build a strong college over the past seven years. Our Foundation has nearly tripled its assets over the past three years and should reach the million dollar mark a year earlier than we planned. We have strong cash reserves to protect the college from unanticipated shortfalls in our usual revenue streams. And we have established systems that work well for our endeavors and that should hold up even when there is a major change in our administration.

For the next few years, our focus will be on getting ready for our next Middle States visit when we are evalu-ated for accreditation renewal. We must ensure that our assessment plans are in place, working, and produc-ing data that is producing improvements in the way we deliver services to our students. We must be certain that our governance system—from the Board of Trustees to our employee Senates—are free from any con-flicts of interest that could compromise our Middle States review. Simply speaking, we must show excellence and integrity in everything we do here.

My priority goal over the next few years is to build our financial resources to the levels needed to provide the highly-skilled faculty and staff that are essential to being a high-quality community college. The residents of our region deserve the best service possible. I know we can get there together. Our administration, faculty, and staff are one of the best teams working together in Pennsylvania.

Let’s do this.

Sincerely,

Walter J. Asonevich, President

Strategic Plan

Pennsylvania Highlands Community College The Strategic Plan – 2011-2015

 The Pennsylvania Highlands Community College has been using various strategic planning processes since its 

incep on in 1994. Each strategic planning process has involved various levels of interac vity on behalf of the 

Board of Trustees, administra on and staff. Over the years several key elements have been difficult to incor-

porate into the planning process; the use of measurable ins tu onal data to gauge results and tying the plan-

ning process to the ins tu on’s budget. 

In 2009-2010, a five-year strategic plan was developed by the President’s Cabinet with input from each of the 

Board Commi ees. The five-year plan serves as the basis for the development of the annual ac on items

Pennsylvania Highlands Community College Strategic Priorities - Goals and Accomplishments FY2014

Objective Status

PRESIDENT’S OBJECTIVES

PRIORITY GOAL A: Work with senior staff to elimi-nate $153,000 deficit in the FY2014 budget and begin building strategies for reducing impact on students of full $150,000 reduction in County funding as we build a budget for FY2015.

We are approaching sufficient cost savings in expendi-tures for supplies and in unfilled positions that we should be able to get the budget balanced by end of fis-cal year. We may need to adjust tuition and fees for sponsored students going forward to get revenue up to costs.

PRIORITY GOAL B: Continue working with state legislators and state administrators to build into the community college budget additional funding to cover the needs of community colleges that have seen dramatic enrollment growth over the past six years. While Penn Highlands is at the top of list for growth rate among the state’s communi-ty colleges, others have also seen their dollars/FTE student eroded due to flat funding and reduced funding since FY2008.

Have started conversations with the PA Commission for Community Colleges on the need for changes in the Community College Act to address funding and the role of sponsors in the funding formula. Senator Mensch leg-islation is still pending to create a task force to study the funding issues for community colleges.

PRIORITY GOAL C: Negotiate contracts with both faculty and staff unions that can keep salaries competitive for faculty on a national level and for support staff on a regional level while recognizing the severe limitations placed upon us by reduced county and state funding.

The College President has discussed the process with both support staff and faculty union presidents and agreed to exchange lists of desired contract changes ahead of negotiations.

Pennsylvania Highlands Community College Strategic Priorities - Goals and Accomplishments FY2014

Objective Status

PRESIDENT’S OBJECTIVES (con’t.)

Goal One: Have Blair County site running “in the black” as we enter its second year of operation.

Blair did not reach revenue targets for Fall 2013.

Goal Two: Depending on Funding, establish expan-sion site in Mifflin County and, perhaps, additional site in Moshannon Valley.

Mifflin County funding did not come through and the project has been back burnered indefinitely. The Moshannon Valley site has been determined to be un-necessary if we proceed with plans to move into State College a few years down the road.

Goal Three: Find match money for the Title III grant ($20,000) for 3rd year endowment building project and get the Foundation over the $700,000 mark.

Have a $5000 donation from Conemaugh Hospital as a lead donor toward the match. The remainder of the $20,000 in unrestricted funds was raised by December 2013. Our assets for the Foundation are approximately $796,000.

Goal Four: Continue to build on EITC donations to fund ACE Program.

Received $33,347.25 in EITC Donations.

Goal Five: Achieve NACEP Accreditation for ACE Program.

As of May 2014, the College has received NACEP Accredi-tation.

Goal Six: Reduce deficit spending in Continuing Edu-cation Department to less than $50,000.

In process. Mr. Larry Coco began as Dean of Workforce Development and Continuing Education in February 2014 and is making good progress on this goal.

Goal Seven: Replace the roof and the hot water sys-tem.

Contracts have been awarded for construction on the roof which started in April 2014 and will be completed in July 2014. Water heater system is currently being de-signed by an engineering firm.

Goal Eight: End of year enrollment goal is to be at 85% the size of the Community College of Beaver County.

We appear to be on track to break the 2000 FTE mark in our annual enrollment. Beaver is a 2400 FTE and shrink-ing based on most recent enrollment reports. 2000/2400 puts us at 83%, but Beaver could be down 8% by year's end.

Pennsylvania Highlands Community College Finance and Administration Accomplishments, 2013-2014

BUSINESS OFFICE

Implemented the online purchasing module along with making updates to the purchasing procedures to align them with the module. This included training sessions with necessary employees and users of the system as well as the development of a process manual.

Implemented direct deposits for both student financial aid refund checks as well as for reimbursing em-ployee business expenses. This eliminated the need to cut thousands of checks throughout the year and saved us time with cash reconciliations.

Improved our credit card purchasing processes by recording the actual vendor in the G/L and by paying our credit card invoice electronically.

Produced an Unqualified Audit Opinion on the 2012-2013 financial audit (7th consecutive year). We also made numerous changes and updates to the financial statement format and financial information as re-quested by the Finance Committee.

BURSAR’S OFFICE

Implemented One Call Now for the College. This automated messaging system is used by the Bursar’s Office to remind students of tuition due date and payment plan due dates.

In working with other departments, implemented ACH refunds for students.

Created total withdrawal payment plan for students who withdraw; financial aid is reduced or eliminated, and need to make monthly payments until the balance on account is paid in full.

Took on responsibility for receipting Continuing Education payments.

Recommended Reliant Capital Solutions as new collection agency.

Implemented meal plan process for students – students paying out of pocket deal with Metz directly – students using financial aid to cover cost of plan complete form and submit to Bursar’s office.

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY

The core IT infrastructure for Blair County was installed in early July 2013 at the Logan Valley Mall loca-tion. An Atlantic Broadband 100 Mbps point to point link provides connectivity to the Richland Campus. All services are functional at this time including Wi-Fi for students and staff, print/copy/fax, and access to all other back end student services modules via the Internet and the Jenzabar EX student information sys-tem.

All telephone connectivity at the Main Campus in Richland has been moved to Atlantic Broadband. This change resulted in a savings of $900 per month.

The Network Redesign project was completed in early January 2014 with the implementation of the multi-homed Internet connection using both Atlantic Broadband and PennREN (Pennsylvania Research and Ed-ucation Network). The project involved working with service providers to configure BGP and the conver-sion to the College-owned IP address block. The aim of this project was to increase uptime of the Inter-net connection by introducing load balancing via BGP and provide increased bandwidth available to all College resources and constituents.

Pennsylvania Highlands Community College Finance and Administration Accomplishments, 2013-2014

The IT Department worked closely with the Finance Department to implement the on-line purchasing sys-

tem. Beginning in January the paperless process for procurement requests and approvals was imple-mented using a phased approach with the IT Department first followed by other Business Office person-nel and then the college as a whole. The goal was met for this project as the College-wide roll out was completed in May 2014.

The College’s video surveillance was expanded to include the Ebensburg, Blair, and Huntingdon Centers. This system allows the security and facilities department to access real-time and recorded video of activi-ties at the centers. There are 9 cameras installed at the Ebensburg Center and 3 each at the Blair and Huntingdon Centers.

Network-based loud speakers are installed at the Richland Campus for use by the security department. There are 5 speakers that also function as digital clocks. During an emergency the digital display can pro-vide directions to building occupants. The speakers are integrated with the IP telephony system so each phone can be taken over and used as a loud speaker in the event of an emergency. This system is capa-ble of using phones at all sites and implementing additional speakers as necessary.

The IT Department facilitated the installation, development, and support for the new www.pennhighlands.edu website. Extensive collaboration with the 3rd party development organization regarding technical issues was coordinated by IT Staff members. The new site utilizes Joomla, a content management system, so College departments can control updates to content.

HUMAN RESOURCES

Negotiated Support Staff and Faculty contracts.

Facilitated supervisory trainings, sexual harassment, and Title IX trainings.

119 new full-time and part-time hires including support staff, faculty, administrators, work study staff, and adjuncts during 07/01/2013 – 06/30/2014.

Completed design, bidding, construction and occupied new facility in Blair County.

SECURITY

Director of Security & Safety enrolled the College in the Clery Center Pilot Collaboration Program. This program has an annual membership fee and allows for training opportunities, informational sessions, and conferences concerning Clery requirements and Title IX issues.

Issued all employees a newly designed parking permit. The permit features our approved brand logo and

allows for the Security department to better document vehicle ownership with permit number. Changes and updates were made to the old Parking Policy to enhance enforcement efforts at the Richland Cam-pus. Proper signs were purchased and towing services will be utilized in the future to decrease the num-ber of illegally parked vehicles.

In a joint effort with the Facilities and IT Departments five (5) emergency notification speakers were in-stalled at Richland. These speakers are also tied into the phone system to allow for public announcement for emergency scenarios.

Security cameras were installed in the Blair, Ebensburg, and Huntingdon Campuses. Four (4) additional cameras were installed at the Richland Campus.

Composed a newly created job description for Assistant Director of Security & Safety and promoted full time Officer Cory Fairman to the position.

Cross trained employees in shipping and receiving, customer service, and cash control.

Restructured labor force in order to increase customer facing associates during back to school rush, rent-al check in and buyback events.

 GOVERNMENT AND COMMUNITY RELATIONS

The College has long held the belief that our greatest assets are the residents of the communi es we serve and those persons who give their  me to lead them.  From local legislators to the representa ves on our re-gional Advisory Councils these individuals provide Penn Highlands with the support and input necessary to improve and enhance our services.  These councils have also helped our Founda on garner dona ons that provide financial assistance to both the college and our students. 

Penn Highlands is con nuously working with federal, state, and local government throughout the Southern Alleghenies region to address issues surrounding educa on.  Our annual legisla ve recep on held in Harris-burg a racts state legislators from across the region who meet with our President, administra on, students, and Trustees to share thoughts and concerns regarding community college funding, expansion, and growth.  This year we were privileged to have U.S. Congressman Keith Rothfus give the key note address at com-mencement.  The Congressman was very impressed with the College and has offered his ongoing support for our efforts. 

From a community rela ons perspec ve, Penn Highlands is pleased to work with each and every local Cham-ber of Commerce within the region.  Sponsoring and a ending events is one way that the College engages with local business and community leaders. 

Penn Highlands also hosts many other community groups by providing space for mee ngs and community affairs.  These include high school commencement ceremonies, community job fairs, nonprofit fundraising events and mee ngs.  The College provided a number of educa onal opportuni es for the community this year including hos ng Holocaust survivor Eva Olson, a debate on the topic of evolu on, and a holiday fund-raising event for a local radio sta on.  These events drew thousands of residents to our campus, providing us with an opportunity to showcase the College. 

Finally, our students, faculty and staff have always been very community oriented and as such are constantly working with local not-for-profit organiza ons.  These individuals have annually donated well over $18,000 per year to the College Founda on and local United Ways.   They also collect items for needy veterans, the elderly, children in need, and local animal shelters providing well over $30,000 annually to these chari es and dona ng in excess of 1,000 man hours to their causes. 

MARKETING AND MEDIA RELATIONS

The highlight for this year’s marke ng department has been the redesign of our website.  This effort involved collabora on between and among the various departments of the ins tu on.  The site was beta tested with both students and staff and then launched in late February.  The feedback indicates a more user friendly site and visitors are much happier with the naviga on.   

Our annual State of the College Address was held in April with members of the regional media, Trustees, stu-dents, faculty, and staff in a endance.  This address is an opportunity for the College President to report on what has happened during the past year and what ini a ves we will be working on in the coming year. 

Our marke ng strategies con nue to incorporate the use of technology and social media.  We have a very good presence on both Facebook and Twi er with larger followings than some four year ins tu ons.  We have found that our students are willing to engage with us via social media and will con nue to incorporate it into our strategies.  We also con nue to u lize a variety of op ons with regard to our adver sing including radio, television, print, and billboards.

FOUNDATION

The Pennsylvania Highlands Community College Foundation continues to work on achieving its goal of having $1 million in assets by the end of the 2015-16 fiscal year. These assets are garnered through annual campaign donations, special fundraising events, and the development of scholarship funds for our students. The Foun-dation has completed its annual campaign for this fiscal year. We are happy to report that we have raised $71,246 this year which places us at approximately 21% over our goal of $59,000. This year’s donations and pledges were received from local businesses, residents, students, faculty, staff, and board members. Below is a chart of the results of our Annual Giving Campaign.

Enhancing our campaigns for the past three years has been the inclusion of the Title III matching grant from the U.S. Department of Education. This year we were required to raise $20,000 in unrestricted donations which would then be matched with grant dollars. Our required match for the next two years is $40,000 and we have already begun to take pledges for these years.

We added two additional scholarships during the year that will have long term effects for our students. One of these, the Dale W. Miller Scholarship, is an endowed gift that will provide financial assistance to students for years to come.

We are finding that donors in our regional locations are beginning to recognize the benefits of having a com-munity college in their area and have been very generous in providing donations to assist these centers.
