MESSAGE FROM THE VICE PRESIDENT It gives me great pleasure to share with you the 2010-2012 Division of Student Affairs Progress Report. This report is intended to provide a broad overview of the Division while highlighting many of the achievements the Division made over the past two years in service to the College of Staten Island (CSI) student population. The Division of Student Affairs represents a diverse group of 14 offices sharing the common theme of supporting the success of the overall student experience at the College. These units have come together with colleagues across the campus to put our students first. One extraordinary example of this commitment to our students is the recently implemented two-day mandatory New Student Orientation Program that ensures the successful transition of our new students to the College. Another example is the opening of the LGBTQ Center that involved several partners to ensure that students are recognized and respected as an integral part of the campus community. It has been an honor to watch the level of involvement by faculty, staff, and students in this new initiative. If not for our colleagues who have worked in a collaborative spirit across the various administrative divisions, these initiatives would not have become successful program models. These past two years have provided many points of pride for the College and the Division of Student Affairs. One example is the Counseling Center’s receipt of accreditation from the International Association of Counseling Services (IACS) making it the first counseling center in CUNY to receive this prestigious honor. Further, the Veteran Support Services Office was named by GI Jobs magazine a “Military Friendly School” - ranking in the top 20% of all colleges nationwide for the fourth year. Moreover, Student Affairs secured a grant renewal of $1.75 million over a five year period (2012-2017) for the Liberty Partnerships Program. In addition, over $1.4 million was raised from other funding sources for various initiatives and programs in Student Affairs. Finally, the Center for Student Accessibility and the SEEK Program both received commendations for their excellence in service during the 2011 Middle States Accreditation visit. These examples represent just a few of the many outstanding accomplishments that have occurred over the past two years. I look forward to forging ahead to maintain the Division’s progress and continue to assess our work for continuous improvement. Sincerely,

A. Ramona Brown, Ed.D.

The TD Bank Charitable Foundation presented the College of Staten Island with a $5,000 check in support of SEEK/Strategies for Success.

CARES (Campus Assessment Referral and Evaluation System) Emergency Student Funding

Religious and Spiritual Life

Student Affairs works with all members of the College community and CUNY Headquarters to ensure that students adhere to the rules and regulations of the College. The administration of the student accountability process is grounded in student development theory that affords students due process and holds them accountable when they are found responsible for behavior unbecoming of a CSI student. The Ombudsperson helps students to develop positive strategies to resolve problems and conflicts and acts as a neutral party to address various types of student concerns or disputes related to the College. The purpose of the CARES team is to provide a systematic response to students whose behavior is disruptive to themselves and/or the campus environment. Emergency student funding is available through the Petrie and Robin Hood Foundation Grants for students experiencing unexpected financial hardships. The Emergency Student Book Loan Program, administered by Student Affairs and funded by Student Government is also available. The Religious and Spiritual Life component is housed under the Multifaith Center. The Center provides educational, social, service and spiritual programs for the CSI community.

Pluralism & Diversity Programming

The Division provides leadership and coordination for programs and events that serve to affirm the Collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commitment to issues of diversity and inclusiveness. From events focusing on LGBTQ, students with disabilities, Veterans, Women, monthly identity and cultural celebrations, Student Affairs partners across the College to ensure that students, faculty, and staff are a part of an inclusive environment.

Student Engagement and Leadership Development

Through several initiatives, students have the opportunity to get involved with a host of activities that are designed to facilitate personal and leadership development. Students can participate in the Emerging Leaders Program (ELP) offered through Student Life, serve as an Orientation Leader in the Office of New Student Orientation, or do an internship through the Career and Scholarship Center. There are abundant opportunities for CSI students to continuously develop their academic and professional skills, as well as their moral and ethical character within the campus and greater community. Over the last two years, the Division has also developed and led several campus initiatives, including a civility campaign and customer service effort to build a more respectful and service-oriented community. Student Affairs departments such as the Counseling Center, Center for Student Accessibility, and Veterans Support Services provide counseling, academic advising, and peer tutoring to assist students in academic distress. SPD courses provide students with the opportunity to look at college transition issues (SPD 101) and the career decisionmaking process (SPD 102).

Campus Campaigns: CSI Civility Campaign and Customer Service Initiative Academic Intervention

Student Professional Development Courses (SPD) Professional Field Placement

Several offices in Student Affairs serve as field placement sites for undergraduate and graduate students from academic disciplines such as Education, Nursing, and Psychology.

Pre-College Programs

The Division is also home to several programs that work with area public schools to assist in the preparation of students for academic success and post-secondary education opportunities. Programs include Strategies for Success and the Liberty Partnerships Program. The Division of Student Affairs provides leadership for coordinating three of the most important ceremonies at the College: Commencement and Honors Convocation in the spring and starting with August 2013 Freshman Convocation.

With an overall multi-sourced divisional budget of approximately $11.4 million and 431 fulltime and part-time staff members (i.e., professional, administrative, and student workers), the Division of Student Affairs has made tremendous strides in the last two years to align itself with the strategic goals of the College and the City University of New York (CUNY). Specifically, the Division embarked on a strategic planning process that served to review and refine our efforts toward student learning and success.
