Recommendation 5Continue Development of Teaching and Learning Center (TLC)
• TLC at Vaughn is in the position to become a model within the tri-
state area of what a college TLC should be
• Train staff, faculty in Supplemental Instruction (SI) at The
International Center for SI at the University of Missouri Kansas City
– Cost -- Training is $755 per person plus the cost of airfare and hotel
• Establish a committee consisting of staff from the TLC, students
and faculty to work towards the CPI of Supplemental Instruction

Recommendation 6-1Expand the Role of Freshman Year Experience (FYE)
Beyond the Freshman Year
• Help reduce the “sophomore slump”
• Promote the understanding that FYE is more than a course
– Make FYE office a place where students feel welcomed to Vaughn
– Make FYE office a source of help and support to all students
• Taylor FYE courses for specific majors
• Create a website for FYE

Recommendation 7Increase Online/Distance/Hybrid Education
• Consider expanding staff in the area of online and distance education
to help with this growing market
• Continue to explore international markets (for example New Zealand
and Singapore) to offer online vocational programs
• Move toward hybridizing all Vaughn courses in the next five years
• Form a committee to study online education elsewhere
Cost – Moderate – May require new equipment and training

20
Recommendation 8Determine if Vaughn College Should Offer Minors
• Committee investigated Fordham, Baruch, Stony Brook, etc.
• What minors (if any) should Vaughn offer?– Engineering Management Computational Mathematics
– Literature• What modifications would need to be made to existing programs
to allow for minors?
• Would Vaughn need to hire new faculty in order to offer minors?
These are to be studied further, although the chief recommendation is that the current curricula be strengthened so that Vaughn has a solid base from which to expand.

Recommendation 9Study Possibility of Continuing Education Programs
– ESL
• Vaughn Located in an area with a diverse population
where ESL should be popular
• Tried unsuccessfully approximately 15 years ago
– FAA certifications
– Test Prep
![Page 22: Strategic Planning · Total $404,681.00 100.00% BS in Graphics/Gaming Item Cost % of Total Cost Marketing $140,599.00 37.32% ...

22
Recommendation 9AStudy Possibility of Continuing Education Programs
Technical Writing as an Option in the Near Future• Occupational Outlook Handbook (2010-11) shows the need for tech writers is
expected to grow faster than average (18%) for all occupations from 2008 – 2018. Tech writers can earn anywhere between $60K (architectural, engineering, and related services) to $72k (software publishers) [data from the Occupational Employment Statistics (OES) survey], which would make this program attractive to students seeking alternatives in the field of technology.
• Certification in technical writing can be offered 6 months to one year (average 80 – 90 hrs. for certification) for a student cost of approximately $1,700. Offered as a minor in the management department, the curriculum and credit hours would have to be determined more carefully.
• Taught by English instructors [masters (adjuncts) and doctorates in English or Journalism or Communications] and/or public relations professionals with experience in the field (5 years) (including professional technical writers).
• Can be offered online• Some courses, such as basic Technical Writing, Public Relations, and Graphics are already
offered at VaughnThis might be an option to future explore in the next five years as Vaughn strengthens its current liberal arts program. Faculty would need to be trained in this field or at least one new faculty member hired.Cost—Moderate—Train and/or hire faculty to teach varied level technical writing

Recommendation 11Cautiously Plan for Growth of Vaughn College
• Need more classroom and parking space
• Growth could be easier by utilizing Online/Hybrid modalities and underutilized Friday classrooms
• Committee Cautions against overly aggressive growth
• One of Vaughn’s strengths is its small size– Need to keep the good aspects of a small school as we
grow
