11. Requests for Ad hoc Research I need a listing of technical program non-completers for last three years with delineation of #completed credits/diploma rec'd-not rec'd/name/contact info. I’m working on a ppt for Beverly that she will present to our local state legislators in a few weeks. Bottom line is we’re trying to make a compelling argument to maintain/minimize funding cuts to cc’s....improving the transition rate from three areas into college-level work. I’d like see it broken down by program. ◦ ABE attendee to college equals X% ◦ GED completer to college equals Y% ◦ ESL attendee to college equals Z% I have been asked by Dr. Simone to do a 10 minute update on the nursing program for the Board of Trustees meeting in July. Included in this presentation should be demographics, achievement results and satisfaction of grads and employment information. Could you help me with some of this data so that this looks pretty?
