The university has made good progress in a number of important areas related to student success. These include faculty hiring, restructuring advising, DH First Year Experience, and creating a number of student success programs in conjunction with faculty and staff.

64 President Hagan’s Priorities for the 2017/2018 Academic Year
However, there are several critical resource issues that still need attention and will be among the priority issues I will focus on this year. These include: Providing faculty, staff and students with facilities that support teaching and learning. Work with University Advancement to continue fundraising for the new Science and Innovation Building, which will break ground next month.

65 President Hagan’s Priorities for the 2017/2018 Academic Year
These include (cont’d): Providing faculty, staff and students with facilities that support teaching and learning. Seek Board of Trustee approval and funding for a new Academic Building to replace all of the temporary facilities in Small College and elsewhere and to include the College of Business and Public Policy. Preliminary designs for this building will be presented to the Academic Senate this fall at a date to be determined by the Senate Chair. Pursue a combination of private gifts and state funds for the renovation of LaCorte Hall.

66 Details of report These include:
Obtain conceptual approval for the University Village Plan at the September Board of Trustees meeting. Upon completion, this project is expected to generate over $7M in ongoing revenue to support University programs. In addition to the additional annual revenue, the proposed project will contribute of our academic mission by enhancing our ability to recruit and retain faculty and staff while also providing an attractive living alternative benefiting the City of Carson and our regional workforce.

67 New Town Center These include (cont’d):
It also creates a new town center that provides much-needed retail and dining venues for the CSUDH community as well as the broader community surrounding the campus, and establishes a unique opportunity to expand our partnerships with business and industry that provide additional internships for students, create research opportunities for faculty, and enhance our academic programs.

68 President Hagan’s Priorities for the 2017/2018 Academic Year
Continue efforts to encourage the CSU funding model to provide greater baseline support for institutions such as CSUDH. Additional resources will be used to: Support our faculty hiring plan aimed at increasing our tenure density. Increase research funding. Address issues of compensation equity where possible. Implement and fund a comprehensive and transformative Information Technology Infrastructure Initiative for CSUDH. Offset our structural deficit, created by historical use of one-time funds to support baseline (on-going) activities.

69 Graduation Initiative
Work with the administration, faculty, staff and the Chancellors Office to continue advancing our Graduation Initiative 2015, Student Success Plan, which consists of nine interconnected initiatives: 1. Enrollment Management - From Inquiry to Graduation 2. Intrusive and Developmental Advising 3. Educational Advisory Board (EAB) - Student Success Collaborative 4. Toro Ambassadors "Finish in Four" and "Through in Two" Initiatives 5. AASCU's Reimagining the First Year Experience 6. Targeted Support Services 7. Academic Affairs Interventions Graduation Initiative Data Fellows Program 9. Technology Solutions

70 Goals Work with the Provost, Deans and Senate to implement recommendations to enhance support for graduate education at CSUDH. Work with faculty and staff to prepare for our WSCUC accreditation visit in 2018. Establish a CSUDH offsite academic presence in Central LA in partnership with Silicon South, a consortium of technology, digital media, music and entertainment companies that would like for CSUDH to be the educational hub of their new facilities.

71 President Hagan’s Priorities for the 2017/2018 Academic Year
