The Division of Student Affairs

2005-2006 Year in Review

The Division of Student Affairs continued to facilitate student learning by providing high quality programs, services and developmental opportunities for students. This year, we focused on implementing the Montana Providing Affordable College Tuition (MPACT) program, increasing enrollment and improving existing programs and services. Many of our staff won awards and accolades for their outstanding professional service. Following are some highlights from the 2005-2006 academic year. In 2005, Vice President Branch was instrumental in developing and implementing the pilot program for MPACT. Enrollment Services worked to create a successful in-state outreach program to Great Falls, Kalispell and Billings; MPACT was heavily promoted during these tours. Enrollment Services opened 7 new out-of-state markets and increased the number of spring Open Houses from 4 to 6. One goal of Student Affairs is to foster an inclusive campus community. To this end, Student Affairs held the first annual Day of Dialogue in spring 2006, which brought professors, students, staff and other members of the community together to discuss issues of diversity. Research presentations, workshops, performances and a keynote speech given by Dr. Manning Marable provided the impetus for these discussions. Planning for the development of classroom space within the residence halls is well underway, and the space will be developed as resources are allocated. The space will eventually be used by Freshman Interest Groups and Freshman Seminars and will help create living/learning environments. Other building projects during 2005-2006 improved accessibility for persons with disabilities, including a passenger elevator in the Mathematics Building and an addition to the Skaggs Building. Curry Health Center recruited a half-time psychiatrist for fall 2006, completed a successful bidding process for the student insurance plan, and received a three-year reaccreditation by the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC). With the help of student interns, the Griz Card Center recruited many new off-campus merchants to join the UMoney program. Student Affairs departments continued to create synergies within the division and worked closely with other divisions to serve the educational mission of The University of Montana. We are proud of the following successful collaborations:

Career Services worked with UM Admissions to distribute new marketing DVDs that demonstrate the value of recruiting UM graduates. DVDs were sent to 5,000 employers.

Career Services collaborated with the offices of Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action, Human Resource Services, Financial Aid, and Foreign Student and Scholar Services to create and publish The University of Montana Student Employment Policy Manual, which establishes university-wide standards for campus employers to meet in the recruiting, hiring, evaluation and termination of student employees.

Curry Health Center worked with the School of Social Work faculty to create practicum placements for Methods of Social Work students.

9

In collaboration with UM Dining Services and other Griz Card point-of-sale users, the Griz Card Center coordinated, purchased and launched a new, state-of-the-art, touch screen, point-of-sale system.

Student Affairs departments and staff received much recognition and attention this year:

The Foreign Student and Scholar Services (FSSS) director, Effie Koehn, received the Association of International Educators‘ (NAFSA) Bruce Tracy award for outstanding professional and personal contributions to the field of international education.

Director Jim Marks won the 2005 Leader of the Year Award from the Center on Disabilities of Montana State University - Billings. The award acknowledged Jim‘s contributions to legislation that benefits Montanans with disabilities and has been adopted by the state of Montana, such as the 2005 Braille Literacy Act.

University Dining Services received positive attention from the following publications: The New York Times, TIME Magazine, Slate Magazine (online), Campus Dining Today, Restaurants & Institutions, On Campus Hospitality, Los Angeles Times and American Federation of Teachers (AFT) On Campus.

The National Youth Sports Corporation awarded Campus Recreation‘s National Youth Sports Program their ―All Guidelines Met‖ certificate and the ―Merit Award for Outstanding Instruction‖ for exceptional medical services, which were provided by the Curry Health Center.

In March, Certified Executive Chef Tom Siegel won an American Culinary Federation Gold Medal at the National Association of College & University Food Services (NACUFS) Regional Culinary Challenge in Minneapolis, MN and a trip to Toronto to compete in the National Culinary Challenge.

Disability Services for Students Coordinator Bernadine Gantert earned the 2006 Nancy Borgmann Diversity Award for her efforts to enhance diversity and accessibility on campus.

The Cascade Country Store won the 5th annual NACUFS C-Store ―Best in the Business‖ award in the marketing category.

The Outstanding Student Leader Award was conferred on two foreign graduate students in subsequent semesters: Martin Twer from Germany in fall 2005 and Abdullah Al-Ghamdi from Saudi Arabia in spring 2006.

VIII. SUMMARY OF ACCOMPLISHMENTS

American Indian students participated in our program at levels that far exceeded our capabilities to accommodate them. The American Indian Student Services program was originally established to help specific groups of students: incoming American Indian freshmen and new tribal college transfers. However, after the first few weeks of the year, some students with ―need‖ who were not part of this population were seeking out AISS services; those students included graduate students, law students, and prospective students. Also, because AISS had an informal agreement with Financial Aid to help American Indian students in jeopardy of losing their aid, we worked with many American Indian upperclassmen as well. We didn‘t want to turn anyone away, so it was a busy year. Because of high student traffic, few new programs were developed. In order to accommodate students, we collaborated with other groups, such as Native American Studies, Educational Opportunity Program, and the Native American Natural Resource Program. We also held a meeting with tribal funding agencies and tribal college support agencies to keep them informed about institutional requirements and ways they could help us with various processes for incoming American Indian students. The coordination among campus programs continued to improve and was very beneficial. AISS was very appreciative of the support received from the Registrar‘s office, Financial Aid, Enrollment Services, Graduate School, and Educational Opportunity Program. Our greatest strength was in our connections with other campus programs.

There was a significant increase in overall group fitness class participation from academic year 2004/2005 to academic year 2005/2006. This was evident by an increase in punch pass sales from approximately 355 passes sold in 2004/2005 to approximately 507 passes sold in 2005/2006. Ongoing Programs

Fitness consultations: Fitness staff members developed personalized fitness programs for approximately 100 clients per semester. Personal Training: Trainers developed a personalized fitness routine for approximately 25 clients during the academic year. Women’s Self Defense: This has been a popular event since its inception three years ago; it has been attended by 20-25 women each semester.

Fitness Classes 60-65 hours of fitness class were offered each week during peak months (October through February). This year, the most popular classes were Spin, Yoga, Jump Rope, Ab Lab, and Pilates.

Ab Lab: This class consistently averaged 40-45 participants. Jump Rope: This is the most challenging workout; it consistently averaged 15 participants. Yoga: This class averaged 20-25 participants and its popularity has continued to increase.

35

Ease into Exercise: This is a fitness class for retired individuals and averaged 8-10 participants in its second year.

Weight Management Seminar The result of collaboration among Dining Services, the Curry Health Center, and Campus Recreation, this lifestyle and behavior modification seminar encourages the development of healthy, lifelong eating and exercise habits through the discussion of behavior, thought patterns, and self image. It was offered once in fall and spring semesters and attracted a total of 25 participants. Mini Consultations with Physical Therapist This service attracted more participants in its second year. During most weeks, all four appointments were booked. Mini Consultations with Registered Dietician This was our first year offering consultations with a registered dietician. Attendance was sporadic. Some weeks, all four appointment slots were full, and other weeks there were no appointments. However, people seemed to like having the option of meeting with a dietician. We will offer this program again in fall 2006. Personal Back Care and Spinal Analysis with Physical Therapist This interactive presentation allowed people to have their spine/posture assessed by a physical therapist. The group discussed injury prevention, rehabilitation, and basic back care exercises. This lecture filled all 10 possible registration slots.

New Group Fitness Classes

Tribal Belly Dancing: This class was hugely successful; 10 -18 women enrolled each semester. Mat Pilates: Pilates has become more popular each semester. We added an additional mat section and split the classes into ―intro‖ and ―continuing.‖ Reformer Pilates: This class increased in popularity as well, so we offered two additional sections, one ―intro‖ and one ―continuing.‖ Enrollment was consistent throughout the year.

VIII. SUMMARY OF ACCOMPLISHMENTS Marketing our services to employers was a major component of our program and complimented the work we did with students. We created a marketing DVD with a 30-second video commercial for local media outlets and an in-depth, 6-minute video, which highlights the University of Montana‘s academic programs and career preparation and employer services. We will work with UM Admissions to distribute 5,000 of these DVDs to employers, with the purpose of demonstrating the value of recruiting new hires from UM. Over 200 area employers saw a screening of the video at ―Business after Hours,‖ an event hosted by the Missoula Area Chamber of Commerce. Prospective students and their parents will also receive a copy of the video, which explains the future economic value of a UM education. In an effort to create university-wide standards for student employment, Career Services spearheaded an effort to create and publish the University of Montana ―Student Employment Policy Manual,‖ which established guidelines and procedures for campus employers to follow in the recruiting, hiring, evaluation and termination of student employees. Created in collaboration with the offices of Affirmative Action, Human Resources, Financial Aid and Foreign Student and Scholar Services, this policy manual was approved by the Vice President for Student Affairs and the President of the University for campus-wide distribution in spring 2006. We collaborated with Academic Affairs to plan the Academic Expo, which took place during the first week of classes in fall 2006. For the Expo, academic colleges/schools hosted open houses and special events at their various ―homes‖ on campus, and provided information to prospective and undecided students to help them make decisions about their academic and professional career. Additionally, each college/school set up information tables on the oval for the WelcomeFeast. Our Career Services counseling intern collaborated with Counselor Education faculty and local high school counselors to coordinate the high school career outreach program. UM counselors-in-training went into local high schools and conducted formal career assessments and academic exploration projects with sophomores. We reached a total of 387 sophomores at Sentinel High School and Big Sky High School. We introduced a new fair to the rotation this year. The long-standing Big Sky Career Fair was moved to spring semester and a new, specialized ―Accounting and Health Professions Fair‖ was held in the fall. Career Services also ran the Student Employment Job Fair and the Educators‘ Career Fair. We continued to teach the two-credit ―Exploring Majors and Careers‖ course, designed to improve retention by helping undecided students explore their talents and make decisions related to their major and career. The Faculty Senate approved this course as a new offering in the Business Department of the College of Technology beginning fall 2006. We are in the final phase of moving the Ask-an-Alum program to an entirely Web-based system. Students will be able to search for and connect with alumni mentors via a system that interfaces with the UM Alumni Association member database. This new system will be operational by the beginning of the upcoming academic year.

We completed an internal self-review using the professional standards of the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) in preparation for an external review process to be completed during the next academic year. In the Testing Services area, we adopted Pearson Vue testing from the College of Arts and Sciences and began offering it alongside our other testing services. As a result, Testing Services was able to add information technology certifications and several other professional certifications and offerings. We were also successful in bringing the GMAT test back to Testing Services for School of Business applicants. Finally, we conducted a SWOT analysis to strategize for future directions and growth in this critical area.

Mike Heuring, Director

The University of Montana Office of Career Services surveyed all graduates of bachelor‘s, master‘s, doctoral, and College of Technology programs who enrolled summer 2004 - spring 2005. The purpose of this survey was to provide employment information for prospective and currently enrolled students. Information was collected throughout the academic year by survey mailings and follow-up phone calls. Additional information was obtained directly from the departments from which the recipients graduated. Survey summary data derived from 1,321 respondents, or 50% of the 2,634 University of Montana graduates. Note: Not all respondents answered all the questions.

Statistics are therefore based on reduced numbers.

VIII. SUMMARY OF ACCOMPLISHMENTS The Dental Clinic overcame a major challenge this year. In order to compensate for the Director‘s absence due to illness in the fall, we brought on a part-time dentist and worked together to maintain a high level of service. Patient visits actually increased, and we exceeded budget goals. Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) also responded successfully to changes in MIP laws, which resulted in a 37% increase in visits to Self Over Substance (SOS) last fall. The number of students served overall by CAPS increased by 26%. In order to meet the increasing demand, we recruited a half-time psychiatrist for fall 2006 and worked with the faculty of the Social Work Department to create practicum placements for Methods of Social Work students. Curry Health Center staff continues to serve the campus community and the city of Missoula through membership and leadership on several committees and task forces. This year, Dr. Welt and Dr. VanDenburg represented The University of Montana on the Missoula Suicide Prevention Task Force, and Dr. Welt became a member of the Montana State Suicide Prevention Task Force. The department again sponsored National Depression Screening Day and gave suicide prevention presentations to over 500 students and faculty. Under new leadership, Health Enhancement reinvigorated existing programs and added new programs that targeted issues such as tobacco use, healthy eating and exercise. A new educational, multimedia production on unhealthy relationships (which will replace the defunct stage production, ―Drawing the Shades‖) is near completion. By fostering relationships with Health and Human Performance and Residence Life, we were able to reestablish important campus connections. We obtained new financial resources via grants, and Health Enhancement participated in the National College Health Assessment survey via web-based technology for the first time. We reorganized the medical clinic reception area and medical records and began planning a department-wide reorganization in anticipation of the Director‘s retirement, scheduled for June 2007. A series of retirements and resignations posed recruiting challenges in the latter part of the year, and an increase in outpatient visits and inpatient days combined with more severe significant illnesses, especially mental illness, created added stress and challenged the medical staff. We devoted considerable time to addressing these issues and came away with plans to modify the appointment system in fall 2006. Through careful budgeting and good resource management, we were able to make staffing adjustments and needed capital improvements in response to changes in service demand, while continuing to contribute sufficiently to the Student Affairs capital pool. Finally, a successful bidding process was completed for the student insurance plan, and CHC was proud to receive a full, three-year re-accreditation by the AAAHC.

94

IX. SERVICE MEASUREMENTS During this assessment period, CAPS provided 4,345 units of service, while the SOS program provided 2,190 units of service. This represents a 26% increase for CAPS, and a 37% increase for SOS. The total of 1,662 unique students seen in CAPS/SOS represents approximately 12% of the UM student body. Dental Clinic: 5,348 visits (72 more than in any previous fiscal year) Medical Clinic: 29,204 outpatient visits and 396 inpatient days (an increase of 230 and 15 respectively)

Health Enhancement Frequency Number of students reached

VIII. SUMMARY OF MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS

Disability Services for Students (DSS) served 882 students with disabilities during spring semester 2006, which is 6.6 percent of the student body. Eighty-four students with disabilities graduated this year. Enrollment and graduation numbers were lower than last year, with a one percent drop in enrollment and a 35% drop in graduation. It is unknown at the time of publication what caused the decline in either case, but the changes may be due to natural data fluctuations. DSS will closely assess the decline in the number of graduations, which is a major concern for the University. Please refer to the tables and graphs in Section IX, Service Measurements, which contain detailed information on the enrollment and graduation of students with disabilities. This data includes information about disability types and degrees earned compares data over a 10 year period. The following are highlights from 2005-2006: • Kate Tran resigned from her position as office manager in February 2006. Tran‘s first

replacement did not work out, but Kali Nutt filled the position in September 2006. • A reorganization of Disability Services was partially completed. Dan Burke became the

Assistant Director. Career ladders (additional pay for additional responsibility) for Bernadine Gantert and Denise May were denied. DSS did not receive the funding necessary to create a new coordinator position for test accommodation services. DSS is making do with its existing structure and a strategic pay request is under review for three of the four coordinators.

• The Office for Civil Rights of the US Department of Education began a compliance review of

the University in late 2004. Findings are expected to arrive soon. The review was done as a pro-active effort to assess compliance with disability rights in higher education and was not done as a result of complaints.

• Building projects to improve accessibility for the disabled during 2005/2006 included the

Anderson building for the School of Journalism, a passenger elevator for the Mathematics Building and an addition to Skaggs. One project merits special attention: early in fall 2005, the University quickly replaced an outdated wheelchair lift when a music student, who uses a wheelchair, encountered severe difficulty traveling to the choir room in the Music Building. The new lift was ready for use by early spring 2006. The route of travel remains problematic, however, because the only elevator servicing Music is a freight elevator. The Long Range Building Plan for the 2007 Montana Legislature now ranks a new passenger elevator for Music as the highest priority among disability accessibility projects.

• DSS hosted the first annual Transition Seminar in June 2006. The Seminar prepared high

school juniors and seniors to transition from high school to higher education and was a huge success. DSS plans to make the Seminar an annual event and is seeking external funding for the project.

• DSS‘ ―Report Barrier‖ form on the Web generated 49 notices and complaints concerning

various accessibility issues, making DSS more efficient in responding to these issues.

109

• A $22,000 grant from the Western Montana Gallagher Foundation funded the purchase of new technology and equipment.

• Coordinator Bernadine Gantert earned the 2006 Nancy Borgmann Diversity award for her

efforts to enhance diversity and accessibility on campus. Director Jim Marks won the 2005 Leader of the Year Award from the Center on Disabilities of Montana State University-Billings, an award that acknowledges Jim‘s contributions to Montana‘s adoption of legislation benefiting Montanans with disabilities, such as the 2005 Braille Literacy Act.

VIII. SUMMARY OF ACCOMPLISHMENTS Enrollment Services was instrumental in developing and implementing the pilot program for MPACT (Montana Providing Affordable College Tuition). We collaborated with the staff of the Executive Vice President to implement a successful in-state outreach program to Great Falls, Kalispell and Billings. Enrollment Services opened seven new out-of-state markets, and, by increasing the number of spring Open Houses from four to six, we attracted 200 more students and parents than in 2005. As a result of reorganizing the Financial Aid office and updating our technology, the cycle for awarding aid was the most efficient ever. Financial Aid revised the cost of attendance for 2006-07 by eliminating part-time budgets for students, and this will allow us to resolve over-awards more quickly. Single budgets also allow students greater flexibility and more customization of their financial aid packages.

129

IX. SERVICE MEASUREMENTS Our prospective student file was in excess of 55,000 students for fall 2005. We recruited actively for a yield of 6,400 applications. Enrollment Services processed 8,794 applicants for fall 2005 and spring 2006.

VIII. SUMMARY OF MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS

During the 2005/2006 academic year, Foreign Student and Scholar Services (FSSS) served 410 students and 40 scholars from 75 different countries, and communicated with over 200 accepted students (not yet enrolled). FSSS made over 5,000 contacts with students and scholars at our office this year. Visitors sought assistance with personal concerns, academics, vocations, finances, immigration, and programs. FSSS can provide complete information about demographics, as well as activities and programs organized during the year, upon request. Many UM students and Missoula residents volunteered to help new foreign students feel welcome on campus and in the community. Sixty-one students, both Americans and veteran foreign students, participated in our International Peer Assistant Program. Seventy-six community members hosted students for one year (without home-stays) through our Missoula International Friendship Program. We also made foreign students and scholars available as community resources to area schools and organizations through the Speaker‘s Bureau. Fifty-six foreign students and scholars volunteered to do community service. Two educational trips to a Hutterite colony and to the Flathead Indian Reservation proved to be very popular among both students and scholars. In addition, this year‘s International Culture and Food Festival was a huge success, attended by approximately 4,000 people. Our office served as a resource on cross-cultural matters and immigration. We co-sponsored workshops on hiring foreign nationals at UM, held special meetings with the Department of Motor Vehicles and Social Security Administration staff, provided assistance to high school counselors whose foreign students had visa problems, offered a cross-cultural communication workshop to Mansfield Library employees, and participated in a Town Hall meeting on ―Immigration: An American Enigma.‖ The Outstanding Student Leader Award was conferred to two foreign graduate students in subsequent semesters, Martin Twer from Germany in fall ‘05 and Abdullah Al-Ghamdi from Saudi Arabia in Spring ‗06. Several staff members also received special recognition this year: Yukari Zednick received a diploma from the Academy for International Education, sponsored by NAFSA; Barbara Seekins was elected chair of the NAFSA Region II Council of Advisors for Foreign Students and Scholars; Becky Maier received a UM Staff Development award to attend a conference; and FSSS director, Effie Koehn, received NAFSA‘s Bruce Tracy award for outstanding professional and personal contributions to the field of international education.

VIII. SUMMARY OF ACCOMPLISHMENTS FY 2005-2006 proved to be challenging in terms of finding adequate financial and human capital resources to maintain current services and meet goals. Maintenance and Support

Two external audits - one for business practices, the other for security - confirmed what the Griz Card staff had realized over the past several years. Griz Card‘s technology and business processes are greatly influenced by the practices and policies of external entities, such as Student Affairs Information Technology (SAIT), Business Services, and Information Technology (IT) Central. Greater collaboration and support are needed to maintain Griz Card operations. The Griz Card Center continues to face resource challenges, especially with regard to human capital. We are searching for a new System Administrator, while the current Business Manager will leave at the end of August to pursue further education. Human Resource Services reclassified both positions, which are critical to Griz Card operations, and we are hopeful the higher salaries will attract and retain qualified, dedicated employees.

The Director of Griz Card presented a proposal to the National Association of Campus Card Users in favor of establishing standards for the campus card industry. She has been asked to develop the concept further. New Point-of-Sale System

In collaboration with UM Dining Services and other Griz Card point-of-sale system users, the Griz Card Center coordinated, purchased and launched a new, state-of-the-art, touch screen point-of-sale system. This will be implemented in the coming year. Blackboard has visited the UM campus twice to demonstrate the system features and to begin making plans for implementation, which is expected to be completed in the coming year. Customer Service

Griz Card presented at all orientations (student, international and new employee), reintroduced the popular ―UMoney Merchant Punch Card‖ at Summer Orientation‘s Carnival night, served 3,229 visitors at 35 on-campus conferences and automated student wristband distribution for the Rolling Stones concert. UMoney Merchant Popularity

Many new off-campus merchants joined the UMoney program, which enhanced the town/gown relationships by offering merchants access to students‘ discretionary spending and gave the University a percentage of monies spent off-campus. We revitalized our marketing efforts by hiring dedicated marketing interns to promote the UMoney program to local merchants and to provide technical service. These interns signed on 28 new merchants and reestablished relationships with and service to 35 original merchants. We developed several new marketing approaches, such as co-advertising and co-branding in the UM Campus Directory and The Montana Kaimin and sponsored local contests for UMoney deposits and interaction. Each

merchant was given a white board to display their Griz Card UMoney discounts. We also developed a system that will allow us to retrieve and catalog merchant feedback using qualitative information gathered by future interns. UMoney Online Deposits and Transaction History With assistance from the Administration and Finance Tech Team, the Griz Card Center added an online system for deposits, account balances and transaction history as a service to UMoney users and their families. This feature was popular with parents during summer orientations. Visit www.GrizCard.com and click on ―Deposit UMoney Online Now.‖ New Griz Card Design

Griz Card worked with Printing and Graphic Services on a new Griz Card design (shown left). Cards with the new design were used for the first time during summer orientation. The new design has been well received by users and will be phased in as new Griz Card holders come on board and old cards are replaced. In addition, the UM libraries (Mansfield, Law,

College of Technology) have adopted Griz Card technology, eliminating the need for a barcode on the Griz Card.

VIII. SUMMARY OF ACCOMPLISHMENTS Residence Life experienced a challenging and successful year. Our staff continued to serve students in a competent, caring manner. Our activities, as in years past, included hiring and training a competent student staff, budgeting and managing our resources to meet our fiscal obligations, dealing with student misconduct and mental health issues, and maintaining and improving our physical facilities. This year we hired a new Custodial Supervisor and a new Manager of Student Affairs Information Technology. We also reassigned the administrative responsibilities at Lewis and Clark Village. We made these changes to provide better, more efficient services for students, to better train staff and to supervise our staff more effectively. Several issues were paramount this year: 1) student retention, 2) out-of-class learning, living/learning centers, and 3) student behavior. We identified strategies that we believe will affect positive change in these areas and we secured resources that will allow us to implement our plans. Planning for the development of classroom space within the residence halls is well underway and the space will be developed as resources are allocated. We presented a number of social, educational, cultural and self-help programs in our facilities during the year, tailored to the needs and preferences of students. We also ran programs geared toward dependents of students in the University Villages. Once again, our office made a significant effort to include faculty in our programming, but we had limited success. Residence Life achieved its financial goals and met its fiscal obligations. Residence Life generated an estimated $600,000 over its operational and bond expenses. From this excess revenue, $475,000 was reallocated for capital improvement projects. We studied the feasibility of renovating the Craighead and Sisson complexes at University Villages and made preliminary projections. The Residence Life Management Team continued to plan, strategize and implement policies and programs to ensure that the University maintains the appropriate number of occupancies and cost of student housing, retains funds for targeted services and capital improvements in our facilities, provides appropriate programs and creates a healthy environment within our facilities. Our staff worked collaboratively with Student Affairs and other campus offices to create and run various programs and services.

VIII. SUMMARY OF ACCOMPLISHMENTS During FY06, the University Center (UC) continued on a course of fiscal responsibility. A few things in particular bolstered the UC‘s financial position: inflationary increases in the student union operation fee, administrative offset for campus use of facility space, and rental income from the Bookstore and Market. Due to vacancy savings, operational funds were available at the end of the year for selected equipment purchases and projects, such as new flooring in the Art Gallery and new carpet at Shipping Express. Most notably, the UC contributed a substantial sum to the Fund Balance, thereby adding a measure of protection against leave liability and future financial challenges. The UC accomplished much with program development this year, including: 1) maintaining momentum in the Ursa Major Leadership Program and establishing an advisory board, 2) reaching record attendance numbers in the Gallery, 3) partnering with the Gallery of Visual Arts and Montana Museum of Art and Culture to form the UM Art Collaborative, 4) continuing outreach activities with UC Art Exhibits, which included the creation of exhibition space at the UC Market, 5) persisting in building relationships with members of Greek fraternal organizations, alumni, and campus departments, which resulted in improved visibility of the Greek Life community, 6) beginning the planning process for ―Day of Dialogue‖, and 7) coordinating the Montana Statewide Student Affairs Conference hosted by UM‘s Division of Student Affairs. In terms of personnel, we hired permanent staff to fill vacancies, made changes to the organizational structure, and added a much needed full-time position in Building Services. University compensation options were successfully applied: two deserving staff received lump sum bonuses and one staff member received a strategic pay adjustment. In addition, the Conference and Event Planning, Audio and Lighting, and Building Services staff all shared the University‘s Teamwork Award. Relationships with the UC Board, ASUM, and UC building partners were all strengthened during the course of the year. Support from the UC Board has been tremendous and has allowed us to work toward the goal of providing for automatic inflationary fee increases. The UC continued to play a vital role in enhancing campus life, as evidenced by usage numbers for the building and its programs.

Note: There is a small difference between reservations and bookings. A reservation is the parent schedule of one event, conference, or series of related meetings. A booking represents the multiple meetings, set-ups, and events that one reservation may schedule. Bookings may happen over the course of a few days, such as a conference, or may happen over the course of an academic semester or year, such as recurrent, related meetings. If we had to set-up a room, change a room, or clean a room, it counted as a booking, as it represented the number of hours the UC was being used and the number of people who utilized the UC.

VIII. SUMMARY OF ACCOMPLISHMENTS Meal Plans University Dining Services (UDS) signed up 33 more meal plans in FY06 than FY05, which represented approximately $51,000 more in gross revenue. We also benefited from reducing the number of meal plans offered from three to two. The migration from the Copper plan, which was the least expensive plan, increased revenue by approximately $329,000. Revenue from the Commuter meal plan exceeded the previous year by $148,000. Professional Development This spring, we enlisted the assistance of the UM Writing Center to create a semester-long business and technical writing class for UDS management staff to enhance their written communication skills. The Registered Dietitian received a certificate in adult weight management from the American Dietetics Association, which will better equip her to assist clients who are trying to control their weight. Two of our staff members attended concessions manager training sponsored by the National Association of Collegiate Concessionaires. Three employees participated in three educational institutes of the National Association of College and University Food Services (NACUFS): the Leadership Institute, Financial Management Institute and Facilities Management Institute. In addition, our Bakery Manager attended a Bakery Seminar in Minneapolis, MN. These educational experiences will enhance participants‘ knowledge, skills and abilities and benefit UDS. PR/Media UDS has received significant positive attention from the national media this year, which reflects positively on the department and the University. UDS was been mentioned in the following publications: The New York Times, TIME Magazine, Slate Magazine (online), Campus Dining Today, Restaurants & Institutions, On Campus Hospitality, the LA Times and American Federation of Teachers (AFT) On Campus. Awards This March, our Certified Executive Chef won an American Culinary Federation Gold Medal at the NACUFS Regional Culinary Challenge in Minneapolis, MN, and won the regional competition and a trip to Toronto to compete in the National Culinary Challenge. The Cascade Country Store won the 5th annual NACUFS C-Store ―Best in the Business‖ award in the marketing category. Donations Throughout the year, UDS contributed significantly to campus-related events. Our donations and discounts helped make many events successful. Total donations amounted to $108,540. Please see the attached donation log for a detailed account of UDS donations. Sustainability We surpassed the $1 million benchmark in UM Farm to College purchases, spending $1,369,443 since FY03. In FY06, we spent $474,552.13 on local and regional food products, a sum that represents 14.4% of our total food purchases. On May 4, we hosted a very successful day-long celebration which included a presentation of student research results, a panel discussion, a catered Farm to College lunch for almost 100 people, a vendor fair with 25 vendors, a Farm to College special dinner in the Food Court, a musical concert and fun, food-related games and contests.

202

UC Food Court Transition The Cash Operations component of University Dining Services was in transition this year. We are completing the first phase of a reorganization of the University Center Food Court. This fall‘s line-up will include Doc‘s Sandwiches, Pacific Rim, Pizza Hut, Grizzly Grille Wing Street, and Baskin and Robbins. UDS will run Pacific Rim and Grizzly Grille and maintain soups and salads. We will continue to provide cashiers and all beverages.

Catering University Catering had some big events this year. We collaborated with the President‘s Office and an off-campus client, Bill Jones, to host a very large and very elegant President‘s Pre-Game Brunch in September 2005. In October 2005, we catered an extravagant President‘s Club Dinner hosted at the Washington Ranch. Both of these events allowed us to push the envelope in terms of creativity and orchestration. Moving the Smoothie Operation In FY06, we moved the smoothie operation from La Peak to the Cascade Country Store. This benefited both operations. Not only were we able to sell 1000 more smoothies per semester in the Cascade Country Store, but we reduced our overall food cost by 7% and increased coffee sales by 20% in La Peak.

VIII. SUMMARY OF ACCOMPLISHMENTS In AY 2005/2006, Vice President Branch was involved in creating, instating and promoting MPACT, a financial aid program that offers assistance to students whose families are at the median income level or lower. The program was aggressively marketed and promoted throughout the state in fall 2005; President Dennison gave speeches on several Outreach Tours about the program and the importance of attending college. The first students to benefit from MPACT are expected to matriculate in fall 2006. In 2005, Student Affairs held a Retention Summit, where various leaders throughout campus met and discussed issues that affect retention, such as bureaucratic barriers, financial issues, engagement, goal orientation/focus, and physical and emotional health issues. We also recognized the need to welcome newcomers to the University and educate them about the campus. To this end, we inaugurated the New Faculty and Administrator Orientation in 2005. Student Affairs designed a new logo for the division, with the tagline ―Promoting Student Success.‖ Many employees participated in the annual Heart Walk, which raised money for heart disease and stroke research and education. In spring 2006, Student Affairs held the first annual Day of Dialogue, which brought professors, students, staff and other members of the community together to discuss issues of diversity. Members of the community were engaged in creative and informative ways, giving presentations, sharing research findings, attending workshops, and listening to the keynote speech by Dr. Manning Marable.

FINANCIAL OVERVIEW General Fund For FY06, most general fund budgets were similar to FY05 with only nominal increases attributed mostly to salaries and a 2.5% increase for the operating expenses. The Admissions/New Student Services (NSS) budget was increased by $50,000 for recruitment. Approximately $15,000 in previous cuts to Career Services was reinstated to their operating budget. There was a one time only increase of $140,000 to the Admissions/NSS budget that was due to a carry forward of Cal Murphy funds from the previous year; this amount was spent on activities related to recruitment. Also in the Admissions/NSS budget for FY06, a new Transfer Evaluator position was established and filled in January 2006 to help with the transfer priorities, as established by the Board of Regents. This position, however, was not funded by the general fund; Student Affairs reserve funds were used. Efficiency and Effectiveness funds were spread to the various sectors as a base change and the Student Affairs‘ share, $12,688, went into the reserve. Student Affairs ended the year with $33,730 excess budget, which should carry forward into FY07. Auxiliary Fund With student-headcount up but FTE down, most of our mandatory fees were down from budgeted revenues for the year. In anticipation of revenues being down, an allocation of $1,588,301 was earmarked for the capital process. Of this amount, $290,000 came from debt management funds, which is an accumulation of funds from The University of Montana, Montana Tech of The University of Montana, The University of Montana Helena College of Technology, and the University of Montana-Western. However, from this capital allocation we had to pay our share of the ―Tunnel Bonds,‖ which amounted to $398,883. This left $1,189,418 for capital. In addition to paying the ―Tunnel Bonds,‖ we also had a surprise in that the Lommasson electrical project came in at twice the projected cost, right at year end. Subsequently, we had to increase transfers from the various auxiliaries to make up $74,116 of this cost. In addition, a cost ―overrun‖ on a project in the Curry Health Center resulted in using fund balance dollars to fund the project. Curry Health Center officials and the Vice President for Student Affairs concurred that the project, a revamp of the HVAC system to provide better occupant comfort and the installation of ground water cooling, was important enough to use fund balance dollars. Curry Health Center funds in the amount of $271,250 were moved to fully fund this project, of which $83,000 came from fund balance. However, the year ended on a bright note. Through cost cuts, salary savings, management decisions and some additional revenue, all areas, except for Curry Health Center, made their capital transfers and put funds toward fund balances. Collectively, excluding Curry Health Center, there was an $862,021 increase in the fund balance. This was much needed, because for the last few years we had, for the most part, reduced fund balances at year end to fund capital projects.
